EastEnders spoilers follow.
EastEnders' Linda Carter will fear she's blown her killer secret after a drunken heart-to-heart with Alfie Moon.
Linda has been struggling to cope with her guilt, ever since murdering Keanu Taylor on Christmas Day, and joining forces with fellow members of The Six to bury his body.
Upcoming scenes will see Linda attempt to put recent events behind her, in a bid to support her friend Alfie – who is undergoing treatment for prostate cancer.
Alfie meets a nervous fellow patient called Shahir during one of his last radiotherapy sessions but feels lonely when Shahir’s loved ones show up while he’s alone.
Determined to support him, Linda invites him for a drink in The Vic and gets Ian and Billy along as well.
What to Read Next
It’s all going well until Alfie can’t get to the toilet in time and has an accident.
Alfie is mortified about wetting himself in The Vic afterwards but Linda begs him to open up to Ian and Billy about what's going on.
Linda reasons that he must let the people who love him support him, and her words hit a chord with him.
Taking Linda's advice, Alfie finally tells his friends everything, and they vow to be there for him moving forward.
However, Linda's week quickly takes an unfortunate turn when Ricky sends over a picture of Mick and Janine’s baby.
Alfie later finds Linda drunk and inconsolable in The Albert and takes her home.
During a heart-to-heart, a drunk Linda says more to Alfie than she should.
The following day, Linda is panicked when she receives a text from Alfie asking to talk about what she said.
Fearing she confessed everything, Linda heads to meet Alfie to try and find out what he knows.
Unsettled, Linda continues to drink throughout the evening with Alfie and even twists the truth to put him off the scent. But what exactly does he know, and what will happen next?
Discussing next week's scenes, Shane Richie – who plays Alfie – said: "Alfie has no idea what’s happened over Christmas.
"During a conversation, Linda explains she’s done something awful and she says something to Alfie which gives him some pause for thought. But given Linda’s drunken state, it’s up for debate how much he actually takes on board."
