Linda and Mick Carter decided to sell up and start afresh elsewhere, but it looks like their relationship is set to face some tough tests post-lockdown.

Speaking on EastEnders: Secrets of the Square, Danny Dyer and Kellie Bright, who play Mick and Linda, teased a whole lot more drama.

Danny said: "Essentially, we are all going to be coming out of lockdown in the show like the rest of the country."

While Kellie added: "There are some testing times ahead for Mick and Linda."

Danny then added: "I think when we come out of lockdown I could potentially have the best story I've ever had on the show."

As for the rest of the family, there has been recent speculation that Johnny Carter will return to Walford to take down Gray Atkins.

The evil character - played by Toby-Alexander Smith - has been abusing wife Chantelle Atkins (Jessica Plummer) since they arrived in Walford.

Meanwhile, Johnny left Walford to accept a job offer after trying to help his family fight to keep the Queen Vic.

The character - who has been played by both Reilly and Sam Strike - was also at the centre of a storyline which saw his mum Linda (Kellie Bright) unable to come to terms with his sexuality.

Will Johnny return to finally put Gray behind bars? Watch this space!
