Upset EastEnders fans are calling on the soap's bosses to line up a Harold Bishop style twist for Danny Dyer, after the popular actor's character Mick Carter made a heartbreaking and very dramatic exit on Christmas Day.
While ITV rival Coronation Street went for a more light hearted affair for its festive special, with Fizz and Tryone getting married, in EastEnders it was largely drama all the way, with most of that centered on the Carters, in the aftermath of Mick's wedding to Albert Square super villain Janine. For months now, viewers have been willing the truth about Mick ex wife's Linda's 'drink drive' crash, which very nearly saw her land behind bars after Janine framed her, to come out.
*SPOILER ALERT* And thanks to Jada finally coming clean on making it look like recovering alcoholic Linda was still drinking and Janine's daughter Scarlett exposing her mum's lies, the truth unravelled to ensure that there was anything but festive cheer in the Queen Vic. Realising she was done for, Janine fled Walford, with Mick and Linda giving chase in his car.
