Albert Square residents gathered at the Queen Vic for Denny Rickman’s (played by Bleu Landau) funeral this week and when Sharon Mitchell (Letita Dean) screamed at Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), the landlady went right back to the bottle after weeks of trying to stay away from it. Worried about his wife, Mick (Danny Dyer) decided he had a choice to make – keep the pub or help Linda. Now, it has been hinted another member of the family could take over the pub.
Earlier this week. Linda revealed to Mick she couldn’t remember a time in her life that she didn’t have a drink in her hand.
The landlady grew up in pubs and told her husband her dad loved a drink and would give her sips of beer when she was little.
Mick and Linda have been struggling for the last year as her drinking addiction has taken control of every aspect of the family’s life.
And, when Linda started putting their son Ollie in danger, social services started threatening to take him away.
