Mick Carters life is already in tatters following Stuart Highways horrific campaign to frame him for the recent shooting and have him sent to prison but the one thing keeping him going is the undying support of his wife Linda. But even she has a limit, it turns out.
With Stuart even admitting to Mick what he has done, Mick is at the end of his tether as the case is seemingly watertight against him. And when Linda comes to visit, he insists that he is completely innocent.
But Linda has her doubts and when Mick then admits that he did contemplate killing Stuart, she declares that she no longer supports him and walks out, leaving him in complete despair.
Linda arrives home to tell the rest of the family what she has decided and Shirley is aghast that she has turned her back on him. It divides the Carters but Linda has made up her mind and when Mick tries to phone, he loses it when she refuses to speak to him.

Stuart is smug that he has made his so-called friend pay. And, speaking to Metro.co.uk recently, Ricky Champ, who plays him, warned that his alter ego hadnt finished yet.
He said: I think initially he just wanted Mick to endure the same suffering that he did. Stuart has this dark, obscure history of being in and out of jail and I think he blames Mick for all of that. As far as end game goes, youll just have to wait and see but for now, Stuart can allow himself a moment of satisfaction that this part of the plan has gone swimmingly.
I think we can safely assume from that conversation and his agenda that this isnt over and the Carters as a whole should be afraid, very afraid.
EastEnders airs these scenes on Tuesday 2nd October at 7:30pm on BBC One.
