EastEnders' Linda Carter in death horror as Janine Butcher smashes car into tree

EastEnders' Linda Carter could be killed off in upcoming scenes, following a deadly car accident - with her family told this week she might die.

She and her love rival Janine Butcher were rowing over Mick Carter, when Janine drove them into the path of an incoming lorry.

As a terrified Linda screamed at her to watch out, Janine swerved only to lose control of the vehicle.

She ploughed her car across the road and through some greenery, before crashing headfirst into a tree.

Seconds later, as there was no movement from Janine, Linda or Linda's baby daughter Annie, a huge tree branch fell down and slammed right through the windscreen.

It appeared to pierce through the glass directly where Linda was sat in the passenger seat, so it's not looking good for the character.

The fate of either character was not revealed in the episode, with the show ending before anyone got out of the car.

But spoilers for Tuesday's episode have teased the fates of all three characters - with Linda seemingly worse off out of the trio.

Back to Monday, and Linda was threatening to spill the beans to Mick and the Carters about Janine's recent behaviour.

After Janine conned Mick and Linda's daughter Nancy out of £50,000, she soon gave it to Linda in exchange for her leaving Walford for good.

Linda took the money but decided to stay much to Janine's fury, but what she didn't know was that it was the money taken from Nancy.

When Nancy learned her money was nowhere to be found, Linda wasn't able to give the cash back as she'd already placed it elsewhere.

Linda had rowed with Nancy earlier in the episode, and when her car broke down she turned to booze.

It's when she called up and threatened to tell Mick everything that Janine got a taxi to her location, and agreed to drive them home but begged her to stay quiet.

Soon a row erupted and the ladies were screaming at each other about Mick, with Janine taking her eyes off the road.

Viewers will have to tune in tomorrow to find out if Linda survives, and what happens next.

EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30PM on BBC One.
