Meanwhile, will a fresh romance finally bring Linda the happiness she deserves? Keep scrolling to learn more.
What’s Linda’s Future Ahead On The Soap?
Many fans are expecting a reunion between Linda and Max Branning. In fact, Linda also appears in the New Year flashforward. Hence, it has fueled speculations about her love life. Some viewers believe that Max might step up and stay loyal this time.
Also, fans suspect the woman in Max’s bed is only a distraction for the audience. Meanwhile, many users feel that the current family structure at the B&B is dragging Linda down. They also want the show to axe Elaine Peacock and Johnny Carter.
Linda returned to Walford after a lengthy cruise, and she finally confessed. She revealed to Max Branning that he is Annie’s biological father. Later, Max declared that he had strong romantic feelings for her. However, Linda told him that she solely wants a platonic co-parenting relationship, nothing else. Soon, Linda made a shocking discovery at The Queen Vic while searching for Max. She saw her former lover kissing Cindy Beale passionately. So can we assume that’s it all over for the ex-lovers?
Let’s See What EastEnders Fans Are Saying
A user shared, “I’ve noticed a sudden wave of people saying Linda is a tired, pointless character with nothing left for her on the show and I really hate that narrative. Kellie is a really strong actress who consistently makes anything she’s given compelling and I don’t think we should lose her unless she chooses to leave herself.
Another shared, “For me she’s really missing Sharon’s presence on the square. Their friendship really works. She’s also lacking in Phil’s friendship right now, too. I thought she was great with Nigel, also. Elaine and Johnny for me aren’t working. I’d love to see Linda and kids move in with Sharon once Ross inevitably leaves Vicki. Meanwhile, a third user wrote, “I wonder if they’re keeping her in the hopes that Danny Dyer will come back.”
Elsewhere, someone else mentioned, “I’m sure they’re gonna do something with her and Max soon. While another shared, “Linda simply doesn’t work as a standalone character. She needs Mick. The worst thing they ever did was break them up.” Meanwhile, do you think Linda is losing her grip in the Square? Let us know in the comments section.
