EastEnders might be looking at Dickensian-inspired Christmas festivities for Walford residents as ghosts of Christmas past return. We know one of the biggest storylines this year was the murder of Keanu Taylor and all the stories that are getting framed around it. And it looks like it will once again be at the centre for this year’s festive season and BBC soap’s upcoming 40th anniversary.
We know that Linda Carter is struggling, and her alcoholism is gaining attention as Bernie Taylor has returned to haunt her. All of this began when Linda stabbed Keanu while saving Sharon last Christmas Day and she has very convincingly gotten away from her heinous crime. But her family and friends want her to be safe and stay from the bottle, so it looks like the show might be planning a death horror for Linda in her dream, which will bring legendary characters back on the show for a short stint.
