Oscar’s Arrival Rattled Linda Just Before She Left
Before boarding that cruise, Linda faced one final surprise that threw her off completely. Oscar Branning arrived in the Square, unaware he had a sister named Annie. He had no idea his father, Max, once had a child with Linda, nor did Max. That truth had stayed hidden for years.
Linda tried to keep calm, but Oscar wanted answers. He even said he would love to see Max’s face when he finds out. That moment left Linda shaken. But thanks to Lauren, Oscar backed down for now. But secrets like this never stay quiet forever. Linda knew walking away would not fix everything. But she needed time. The Queen Vic was filled with too much pain. She could not pretend it still felt like home. A break felt like the only option. But what she left behind is still chasing her.
