In a flash, everything changes…Don't miss #EastEnders. Monday - Thursday on @BBCOne & @BBCiPlayer.#Linda #TheSix pic.twitter.com/K7UeQtE8yAOctober 30, 2023
Yesterday's episode of EastEnders was a big one for Linda Carter. Struggling with her first Halloween without Mick, she was finding the day tough.
But there was a HUGE shock in store.
Linda went upstairs for a break from the Halloween celebrations at the pub, but she didn't know there was a horrible surprise waiting for her in the shape of her rapist brother-in-law, Dean Wicks!
"Don't scream," he told her as Linda looked petrified.
What. A. Cliffhanger!

But as if that wasn't enough drama for us all, the episode was followed by Linda's Christmas trailer.
Of course, everyone remembers that amazing flash forward episode we watched back in February when we saw Stacey, Suki, Linda, Sharon, Denise and Kathy on Christmas Day 2023.
The women, who have become known as The Six, were surrounding a body on the floor of The Vic.
Sharon crouched down, felt the victim's pulse - giving us a glimpse of his cufflinks - and declared him dead.
Since then, we've all been speculating WILDLY about who the killer is, and the identity of the victim, with Nish, Theo, Ravi, Keanu and now Dean Wicks in the frame.
Some fans even reckon it could be Martin Fowler!
So we were all thrilled to get a new piece of the jigsaw in the shape of Linda's trailer.
Except, it seems to have left fans with more questions than answers!
In the trailer we saw Linda scrubbing the floor upstairs in the pub. While outside someone - dressed in blue - stood looking up at the window, holding something.
Yes, we know. It's all a bit vague!
OKAY SOMEBODY DECIPHER THIS ONE FOR ME PLEASE! 😭Is that the Vic living room floor that Linda is scrubbing? (Blood)? That’s a potential game changer, that is! #EastEnders https://t.co/gB4G8aJOLNOctober 30, 2023
First of all, fans were wondering WHAT Linda is scrubbing off the floor. Is it blood? The pinkish tinge - Linda's colour - to the trailer made it hard to tell.
Though many viewers were convinced it was a gruesome clean up job with one fan declaring: "She's scrubbing blood off the floor."
And why is she upstairs in the pub when the murder victim is on the floor in the bar?
"Is that The Vic living room floor that Linda is scrubbing?" asked one bewildered fan. "That's a potential game changer, that is!"
LINDA’S TRAILER AHHHHH! 🎉 She’s scrubbing blood off the floor 👀 Is that suki stood outside the vic in blue at the end ?? #EastEnders https://t.co/JBiAcxdKJe pic.twitter.com/bnlEFIm8G1October 30, 2023
Why Linda is cleaning the blood? Who’s outside the pub? 👀 #EastEnders https://t.co/trjmYaAZ0JOctober 30, 2023
The other BIG question is who is outside the pub? The figure is hard to see clearly but the person is wearing blue - just as Suki was in the flash forward.
If you cast your mind back to Denise's trailer, there was a blue-clad figure in that, too, running away from the pub.
The plot thickens!
Fans are mostly convinced the figure in Linda's trailer is Suki, but then WHY is she looking up at the pub? And WHAT is she holding?!
What if the reason Suki is looking up at the Vic roof in Linda’s trailer is because she has a showdown on the Vic roof between her eve and nish and nish goes flying #EastEndersOctober 30, 2023
Does it mean a rooftop showdown between Suki and her abusive husband, Nish? The Vic's roof has certainly seen plenty of those in its time!
"Nish goes flying," mused one fan, while others concentrated on what the figure was holding.
Could it be Ravi's laptop with the evidence that he killed Ranveer?
Or a photograph of Kheerat, who's currently in jail for a murder he didn't commit?

Oooo who is that outside the Vic in Linda's #TheSix trailer?!?! #EastEnders 😱😱 pic.twitter.com/X96uPDXk6YOctober 30, 2023
With so many questions, it's hard to know what to think!
But one fan summed it up for most viewers when they wrote: "WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?"
LINDAS TRAILER YESSSS! OMG AND SUKI OUTSIDE? LINDA GETTING RID OF THE EVIDENCE. WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN AND CAN CHRISTMAS HURRY TF UP OMGGGGG #EastEnders https://t.co/oOnx904jkROctober 30, 2023
