Is Mick Carter really dead? BBC EastEnders fans say 'Christmas ruined' as Danny Dyer's Mick Carter exits soap

Danny Dyer's final scenes in BBC soap EastEnders have aired. The actor, who plays Mick Carter, announced that he'd be leaving the show earlier this year and if you read on, just a warning, there are spoilers about the Albert Square resident's exit.

Fans of the soap were both fuming that Mick had left, but others also questioned was he really gone for good. In powerful scenes airing on Sunday, December 25, Mick and Linda (Kellie Bright) reunited after discovering that new wife Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) was not all that she seems.

An action-packed car chase concluded with Janine's car plummeting into the sea with her and Linda inside. Naturally, Mick jumped in to save the day. With the pair's life in danger, Mick battled with his fear of water to pull Janine to safety on the shore. Mick then went back into the sea to rescue Linda – unaware that she had managed to pull herself from the submerged car alone and was fine.
