EastEnders fans work out whose funeral Janine and Linda clash at and it's not Zoe's
Leaked EastEnders set images show Janine Butcher, played by Charlie Brooks, attending a funeral where she clashes with Linda Carter, played by Kellie Bright. Fans believe the funeral is not for Zoe Slater, whose reported death is expected to occur later, because the coffins shown in separate images are different. The leading theory is that the funeral is for Mick Carter, Linda's husband and Janine's former associate, whose death has never been confirmed since he disappeared while rescuing them from the sea in 2022. The storyline may resolve Mick's fate before Bright leaves EastEnders, while Brooks is expected to return for guest episodes.
