EastEnders has revealed Johnny Carter’s reaction to his mum Linda’s murder confession.
Johnny was stunned earlier this week when Linda revealed her involvement in killing Keanu Taylor on Christmas Day and how she’d worked with the other members of The Six to cover up the crime.
Next week, Johnny will still be trying to come to grips with Linda’s predicament and feels guilty that nobody from the family has been in Walford to support her.
Linda can see how concerned Johnny is for her well-being, leading to her vowing to give up drinking. Johnny is relieved by Linda’s commitment to get sober and promises to support her in any way he can.
One of the pressing concerns for the Six is that Denise Fox is having a very public breakdown, though most think it’s solely related to trouble in her marriage with Jack Branning.
This sets the stage for a dramatic confrontation between Johnny and Denise’s daughter Chelsea Fox, where he urges her to get her mother back on track.
Johnny’s intervention may end up causing more harm than good, as Chelsea starts to ask some troubling questions that only serve to make Linda nervous.
Since he arrived back in Walford this month, Johnny has wasted no time in getting involved in a series of volatile situations, including making a pact with Ben Mitchell and Callum Highway to get rid of his abusive uncle Dean Wicks.
Charlie Suff recently took over the role of Johnny Carter for his return storyline, after Sam Strike and Ted Reilly played the character in previous stints.
