EastEnders fans 'rumble Linda's revenge plan against Janine' as she 'fakes' amnesia

EastEnders viewers have questioned if Linda Carter is planning a secret revenge against love rival Janine Butcher on the BBC soap.

On Wednesday, viewers saw the character woken up by doctors, a week on from the horror car crash that almost killed her.

Janine Butcher had been driving the car, and she lost control while the pair were arguing over Mick Carter.

Janine was slightly injured in the crash, but she did the unthinkable and dragged a lifeless Linda into the driver seat, to make it look like she was the driver.

She then poured alcohol all around the car so it would seem Linda was drunk when driving with her baby daughter Annie in the backseat.

Janine then fled the scene, and only her daughter Scarlett knows the truth about what happened.

On Wednesday, the Carters begged Linda for answers as to what caused the crash as she finally regained consciousness.

The family had been warned that critically injured Linda could die, and that if she survived she might have brain damage.

When she awoke in the latest episode, she soon confessed she had no memory from the moment her daughter Nancy had left the car.

It's then that Linda admitted to drinking, and with the family believing she was the driver they were disgusted that she had likely driven while under the influence of alcohol.

Janine arrived and wrongly believed Linda was about to expose her crime to the family, and in one scene Linda did look at Janine as if she had remembered something.

But Linda soon claimed she had no memory of the accident, and her loved ones refused to be in the room with her.

Janine then walked out without telling the truth, as Linda sobbed alone.

But viewers have questioned whether Linda could be lying, and perhaps she did know what Janine had done and was planning a revenge.

One viewer tweeted: "I’m hoping Linda got her memory back when she saw Janine and is faking her amnesia and that when she gets home, she starts messing with the Carters and Janine to get even at Christmas?"

Another agreed: "Linda's definitely bluffing. She remembers Janine there," as a third fan wrote: "The way Linda looked at Janine then. I think she remembers but won't say anything for now."

A fourth viewer commented: "I think Linda knows about Janine," which was echoed by a fifth viewer who said: "Tick tock Janine Linda knows everything and biding her time."

EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
