EastEnders set for revenge horror as Janine blackmails Jada to destroy Linda

EastEnders airs a revenge plan next week, as Linda Carter learns her fate - only to be targeted by love rival Janine Butcher.

Janine has been out to get Mick Carter's ex Linda ever since she set eyes on him last year - but things took a dark turn when she left Linda to die in recent scenes.

Not only that but she set her up for a devastating crime she did not commit, after crashing the car she was in with Linda and Linda's baby daughter Annie.

Janine fled the scene, after pouring alcohol everywhere and moving Linda to the driver seat, making it look as though she crashed the car while drunk.

Janine could finally be exposed over this soon, but Linda faces time in prison for the crime. It's all part of Janine's plan to get rid of love rival Linda, after her hopes to pay her to leave went wrong.

Mick and Linda are still close and are tipped for a reunion, so Janine is out to stop this from happening. Furious to learn that Mick will visit Linda if she ends up in prison, Janine takes action and decides to rope Jada Lennox into her scheme after recent drama between the teen and Linda.

Giving her money, knowing Jada is desperate for cash, Janine blackmails her into helping her take down Linda for once and for all. As it comes to learning her fate, Linda goes to the hearing and delivers a passionate speech about her mistakes.

She and Mick are soon shocked but delighted to learn Linda will not go to prison. When she returns to Walford a free woman, Janine sees red and steps up her plan, wanting Linda away from Mick and away from Walford.
