Walford fans are in for a treat as the beloved BBC soap, EastEnders, celebrates its milestone 40th anniversary with the return of a fan-favorite character and special programming dedicated to the occasion.
Linda Carter’s Return to Albert Square
Kellie Bright, who plays Linda Carter, is set to make her highly anticipated return to EastEnders on Thursday, February 13, as confirmed by Radio Times. Linda was last seen in late 2024, struggling with alcohol addiction before finally checking herself into rehab.

The Mirror reports that Linda’s last episode featured a dramatic “What If?” scenario, where she imagined the worst-case outcome if she failed to seek help. The emotional moment convinced her to enter rehab, leading to her temporary departure from the soap.
“I won’t say too much as I don’t want to spoil it for the viewers, but the week is full of explosive drama, and it was great to hear from the cast themselves about what we can expect.”
What’s Next for EastEnders?
With a live episode, dramatic storyline revelations, and the return of Linda Carter and Grant Mitchell, EastEnders fans have plenty to look forward to as the show celebrates four decades of drama, heartache, and unforgettable moments in Albert Square.
