EastEnders' Linda Carter's exit 'sealed' after Janine twist - ahead of Mick's departure

EastEnders fans saw just how ruthless Janine Butcher could be - as if they needed reminding.

The Walford baddie was back at it with her old tricks, as she decided to get rid of love rival Linda Carter for once and for all.

Since she began dating Linda's now estranged husband Mick Carter, she's been frustrated by their lack of intimacy.

With Linda now back in Walford, she's threatened by their history and concerned Mick will leave her for his ex.

So during Tuesday's episode of the BBC soap, Janine took brutal action in the hope of making Linda leave Walford for good.

Linda was left heartbroken in the episode, as she confessed her love to Mick in the hope they could reconcile.

Mick rejected a reunion though, as despite their history he told her they could not be together anymore.

Linda was left devastated, but Janine was convinced there was something going on between them as her paranoia remained amid their meet-up.

Janine was put in her place though when Sonia Fowler gave her a reality check about her priorities, especially with everything going on with her daughter Scarlett.

But Janine ignored her pleas, and instead returned to her plan to get Linda out of the way for once and for all.

She soon worked out her plot and decided to tempt Linda with an offer she might not be able to refuse.

Much to Linda's shock, Janine offered her £25,000 to leave Walford and not return - but will she take it?

It comes ahead of Mick's own looming exit from Walford, after actor Danny Dyer quit the role earlier this year.

So could Linda be preparing for an exit of her own and might they leave together, with Janine set to lose him?
