EastEnders: Kellie Bright has been a ‘powerhouse’ throughout alcoholic Linda storyline, fans praise

Fans of EastEnders have heaped praise upon actress Kellie Bright following recent scenes on the soap. Linda has struggled with her alcoholism since the loss of husband Mick Carter, the return of rapist Dean Wicks and her murder of Keanu on Christmas.

Given everything she’s been through, it’s little wonder Linda has found it hard to cope – sinking into the bottle as a coping mechanism for all of her problems. This week saw Linda hit an all-new low, almost killing herself after a particularly foul bender.

After receiving sinister letters from Bernie – at Dean’s behest – Linda  hit the booze… hard. An argument with Johnny left her at her lowest ebb and, when he returned, he found her unconscious, choking on her own vomit.Linda was rushed to hospital, where her recovery began, in a emotional bedside conversation with her son. And Kellie’s prowess left fans seriously impressed.
