EastEnders welcomed back Nancy and Lee Carter for a very special episode, with stars Maddy Hill and Danny Hatchard reprising their iconic roles. Monday’s (December 16) edition of the BBC One soap saw Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), whose alcohol addiction has spiralled out of control, imagine what her future would look like if she failed to give up the booze.

A bleak scenario unfolded, with the Queen Victoria landlady meeting a tragic end on the evening in question, dying after a particularly devastating night of alcohol abuse. Her funeral followed, with Lee and Nancy joining brother Johnny (Charlie Suff) and nan Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe) at the Vic and subsequently at the church.
The fantasy scenes saw Nancy blame Elaine for her mum’s death while Lee wasn’t pleased with Johnny for causing a scene at the funeral. The family, which was once one of Walford’s most close-knit, were more divided than ever, utterly heartbroken over Linda’s demise.

Thankfully, however, it was all just a ‘what if?’ scenario, as Linda had simply imagined all the above. The vision was enough to make her drop the bottle as she told Elaine that she wanted to get help – and that she didn’t want to die.
