As a long-time viewer of EastEnders and someone who has unfortunately seen the devastating effects of addiction within my own family, I must commend Kellie Bright for her powerful portrayal of Linda Carter’s struggle with alcoholism. The storyline is raw, authentic, and heartbreakingly real – it’s a hard watch, but one that needs to be seen.
Kellie Bright has warned that Linda Carter is in a very dangerous place in EastEnders.
On Friday evening (December 6, 2024), the actress appeared on The One Show to talk about the ongoing storyline of the BBC One soap opera, where she shared insights with hosts Alex Jones and Roman Kemp.
Lately, her actions have sparked worry in her mother Elaine Peacock (played by Harriet Thorpe) and close pal Alfie Moon (portrayed by Shane Richie).
In the coming week, it is revealed that Linda causes distress to her youngest son Ollie Carter (played by Harry Farr), distances herself from her son Johnny Carter (portrayed by Charlie Suff), and strains her friendship with Sharon Watts (performed by Letitia Dean).
The week will end with Linda being issued an ultimatum by her mother Elaine and the subsequent week will see her choose alcohol and set off for a night of alcohol abuse in a mysterious episode devoted to the story.
She pointed out that the storyline tackles relatable themes about family and addiction. She then commented on the producers, saying, “They aren’t shying away from the harsh reality; they’re diving right into it. It’s going to be a difficult viewing experience for many.
Regarding Linda’s heavy narrative, Bright expressed gratitude for being entrusted with it, saying, “I consider myself quite fortunate to have been given something so demanding and intriguing to work on.
The actress was likewise questioned regarding the influence Anita Dobson’s initial EastEnders character, Angie Watts (the landlady), had on her, and she openly shared her admiration for the portrayal. However, she pointed out that Linda’s own struggle with alcoholism takes a much more “bleak” turn.
Viewers know that Maddy Hill and Danny Hatchard will once again portray Nancy Carter and Lee Carter in the series, following sightings of them shooting funeral scenes which hinted at a possible permanent end to Linda’s struggle against alcoholism.
In the pictures, it appears that Nancy is giving Elaine a smack, Johnny seems to be drinking while looking troubled, and the funeral seems to have been attended by Alfie, Sharon, and Callum Highway, who is also their close friend.
