EastEnders fans are speculating about a possible death in the upcoming festive season, and they are not happy about it. A recent leak of photos showing a funeral scene with the Carter family has left viewers concerned, especially since Linda Carter, played by Kellie Bright, was noticeably absent from the photos. This has led to fans sharing their theories and fears on social media, with some expressing their distress at the idea of Linda potentially being the one in the coffin.
Despite the worries, some fans are holding out hope that Linda’s absence from the funeral scene might mean something else entirely. They believe that the funeral could be a misdirect or a flash-forward scenario, similar to what was done with Belle in Emmerdale. There is also speculation about the color of the coffin, with one fan pointing out that if it was Linda in the casket, it would likely be pink. Others are trying to stay positive and hopeful about Linda’s fate, noting that the show wouldn’t reveal such a major character’s death in such a straightforward manner.
In the midst of the funeral drama, the EastEnders crew was also captured filming the wedding of Elaine Peacock and George Knight. Harriet Thorpe, who plays the flamboyant Queen Vic landlady, looked stunning in a gold bridal dress, while Colin Salmon was sharp in a sand-hued suit. The wedding scene also featured Jamie Borthwick, known as Jay Brown, who is currently balancing his role on the soap with his participation in Strictly Come Dancing alongside dance pro Michelle Tsiakkas.
As fans continue to speculate and worry about Linda’s fate, they can tune in to EastEnders airing Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. The leaked funeral photos have certainly stirred up a lot of emotions among viewers, and only time will tell what the future holds for the beloved character.
