EastEnders' Linda Carter left alarmed after discovery as Jed turns on Frankie

EastEnders ' Mick Carter is still reeling from the recent discovery that he has a daughter, Frankie, who he fathered when he was just 12.

He was sexually abused by his care worker Katy Lewis, and only now realises what happened after burying the memories and believing they were just close friends.

Katy's manipulation knows no ends and she managed to convince Mick (Danny Dyer) not to go to the police, telling him he could be blamed for rape, not her, and making him feel ashamed - but the police soon came knocking anyway after Frankie spilled the beans.

Linda Carter is doing all she can to help support husband Mick and even Frankie, but she makes an alarming discovery of sorts next week.

Frankie, whose behaviour has recently been spiralling out of control, reveals she is going to visit the crematorium for the anniversary of her little brother Harry’s death - so Linda offers to go with her.

She introduces Linda (Kellie Bright) to Jed, Harry’s brother, and Jed explains that Harry’s dad never had anything to do with him - amid everything going on with his mum Katy.

Alarm bells ring for Linda, and so she asks if she can go with them to the crematorium to try to get more information.

Afterwards, she probes Jed about Harry’s father, but it is clearly a very sensitive topic, and the conversation leads to Jed storming out.

As Frankie and Linda follow, Jed turns on Frankie with it clear something is going on.

So what are the family hiding, and how will Katy react to Linda bonding with her family?

After Frankie turned her back on her mum over her own discovery, she could really do with a friend right now.

But will she and Mick find a way to move forward?

*EastEnders airs Mondays and Fridays at 8pm and Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One.
