Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) and Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) find themselves holding the fort in EastEnders as soon as Mick (Danny Dyer) and Shirley (Linda Henry) leave.
Don’t worry, while we know Danny will be leaving soon, this is not an official outing – more like a vacation.
The week begins with Janine not being in the best mood as she learns Mick plans to support Linda before her meeting with the social worker, which is arranged after Linda drinks and her car with baby Annie crashes inside.
The next day, Sharon (Letitia Dean) tells Linda she does not have to prove herself to anyone, but she tells Mick confidently that she wants to return to work at the bar.
Mick finally agrees, but tells Linda that he will be seeing Zsa Zsa with Shirley soon, so the only people looking after the bar will be just her and Janine.
As Mick and Shirl walk away, Linda begins to enjoy bossing Janine at The Vic.
But will it end in disaster?
Or can they find a common ground while Mick and Shirley are away?
