Linda Carter comes face-to-face with arch nemesis Janine Butcher once more in EastEnders, after seemingly driving off with baby daughter Annie in tow.

Pictures reveal Kellie Bright and Charlie Brooks, who portray Linda and Janine respectively, filming the intense showdown for the BBC One soap.

Linda, who is struggling with her addiction to alcohol, sets off on a drive while apparently under the influence, and it is thought that baby Annie is in the car.

The Queen Vic landlady stops at the side of the road, and stumbles out of her vehicle when a taxi pulls up next to her.

Enter Janine!

Linda is not best pleased, given that she had been under the impression that it would be Mick (Danny Dyer) coming to her rescue.

As a result, she lashes out, and a fight ensues between the two feuding foes.

Janine, as viewers know, manipulated Linda into relapsing at New Year’s Eve, and encouraged her to divorce Mick.

The soap’s resident schemer has then used Linda’s absence to seduce Mick, winning his affection in the process.

Linda returned to the Square for Tina’s (Luisa Bradshaw-White) funeral last month didn’t exactly go as planned, as Janine saw an opportunity to comfort Mick. 

The landlady came to realise that Janine had manipulated her into ending her marriage so that she could get her claws into Mick, and thus she caused a scene at both the church and at the wake, as she hit the bottle once more.

A tense showdown ensued between the duo, with Janine coming out victorious, as Mick bought her lies and branded Linda an ’embarrassment’.

But will Janine’s manipulation continue after this upcoming showdown with Linda? Will she perhaps use Linda’s addiction to push the landlady further away from Mick?

The on-location showdown comes just days after Kellie was spotted filming scenes with co-star Maddy Hill, who portrays Nancy on the show.

These scenes will see Linda and Nancy spend the afternoon together in the car. What transpires remains unknown, but whatever is said between the two results in a heated showdown!

It’s certainly set to be a tense few months for the Carter clan, that’s for sure!

EastEnders airs Mondays to Fridays at 7:30pm on BBC One.
