There is a noticeable absence of a popular favorite from the set, raising concerns that the management have eliminated them.
The Carter family will be stunned by a devastating Christmas death that will air on EASTENDERS.
Exclusive photos show the cast of the BBC One soap opera gathered for a funeral as production for the seasonal sequences gets begin.
Mourners gathering behind can be seen as a white casket is brought inside the church.
Three years after he left Albert Square, Danny Hatchard is back in the position, and Lee Carter is holding the casket, which has a pink rose on top.
Callum Highway, a Walford police officer and a close friend of the Carters, is also arrested during the hearings.
As she makes her comeback as Nancy, the feisty daughter of Mick and Linda, Maddy Hill has also been sighted on set.
Fears arise because Linda Carter is not to be seen on the set. The departed family member is Kellie Bright’s most beloved character.
Nevertheless, given their history of misleading viewers, it’s possible that the makers of EastEnders are pulling a practical joke on us.
In the Six narrative, Keanu Taylor was the murder victim of the previous Christmas when Linda stabbed him in the back with a carving fork.
However, Danny Walters was photographed at an airport and on location for a different funeral scene—not his own—as part of a plot by Beeb executives to deflect attention from the death.
Instead of spoiling the much awaited show, it caused people to suspect that he wasn’t the target of the explosive plot.
Fans will thus be crossing their fingers that Linda survives to see another New Year and that Kellie is kept out of sight.
On the other hand, some beginning images depict Johnny Carter in a negative light, being carried out of the church by his elder brother Lee while intoxicated.
Later, while Linda’s mother Elaine and her granddaughter get into a heated argument, he swigs a bottle of vodka on a gravestone.
In dramatic sequences, Nancy can be seen sternly speaking with her before finally slapping her across the face.
Longtime friend of Linda’s, Sharon Watts, is also seen during the ceremony dressed all in black.
Following a confrontation with Janine Butcher, Mick’s body appeared to have washed out to sea around Christmas 2022, causing further grief for the Carter family.
Since the publican, portrayed by Danny Dyer, was thought to be dead, Linda’s drinking worsened and she fell into a spiral.
It’s unclear if Linda has met her end as well, nearly three years after Mick’s death.
The Carter family was originally introduced to EastEnders viewers in 2014 when Mick and Linda were identified as the Queen Vic pub’s mystery purchasers, having purchased it from Phil Mitchell.
On the behind-the-scenes photos, The Sun has gotten in touch with EastEnders.
