Mick Carter’s Exit In EastEnders
Mick’s last big plot came during his troubled involvement with Janine Butcher. When her lies were exposed on Christmas Day, Butcher panicked and ran to the coast.
The situation turns worse as even Linda followed her. Then their car went straight into the water during the confrontation. To save them, Mick jumped in to save a pregnant Janine first.
Then he again went back for Linda. Even though she managed to reach the shore, Mick never resurfaced. Also, since his body was never found, it was never a clear ending. Even Danny Dyer joked about walking back into the Square in a few years, “covered in seaweed.”
