Mick Carter met a watery end on last night's EastEnders, as he got lost at sea and feared dead after he tried to save his beloved Linda.
Mick's childhood sweetheart was driven in to the sea by her demented love rival Janine, who had been riled after Mick and Linda officially rekindled their relationship with a smooch at the bar of the Queen Vic.
Moments earlier, the scheming serial bride's plot to steal the much-loved pub landlord had finally been revealed – with her daughter Scarlett confirming that she had faked Linda's drink driving accident, and teen mum Jada making a special return to confirm that she had been blackmailed in to setting up a social services sting that saw Linda's daughter Annie Branning temporarily taken in to care.
