EastEnders' Linda Carter will face a new setback as the troublesome Shelley returns to the BBC soap.
In scenes that will air next week, Linda (Kellie Bright) is seen making progress with her alcohol addiction following her support group, but Shirley and Tina will be left concerned as she goes to fetch Ollie from school.
At school, Linda apologises to Shelley for their previous run-in, but she's left embarrassed as Shelley takes her to task over her addiction. Isaac then diffuses the situation by asking Linda to help out at the school.

Later, Linda is unnerved when Shelley turns up at The Vic and tells Isaac about Linda's drinking problem.
However, it's Shelley who ends up embarrassed this time – as Linda stands up for herself in front of everyone. As she's commended by Isaac, Mick expresses his pride in his wife.
