Linda Carter became the third EastEnders character to leave in just three days - as the BBC soap aired some sad scenes.
Mick Carter appeared to die on Christmas Day in some dramatic final scenes for Danny Dyer following his exit from the show, as he plunged into the water trying to save his ex-wife Linda and new partner Janine. Whilst the following day, as the truth was revealed about Janine's deception with Linda's car crash, she was arrested by police.
In an emotional scene tonight, Linda prepared to leave Walford as she bid an emotional farewell to Shirley and Sharon.
