Following Linda Carter and Mick's upsetting divorce twist, EastEnders will feature a meltdown in its 35th anniversary episodes.
On the day of The Vic's boat party, Mick and Linda are at their lowest ebb, which means the former really isn't in the mood to celebrate.
But as the vessel sets sail, Linda continues to drink and embarrasses the whole family, leaving viewers to ponder whether this spells the end of their relationship for good.
