‘I’m really worried now’ EastEnders fans panic as Kellie Bright fuels fears she’s quit after dramatic funeral scenes
EASTENDERS fans have been left in a complete panic as Kellie Bright fuelled rumours that she has quit the soap.
The actress posted an image from a pottery shop as she made a bowl with a cryptic engraving.
Kellie, 48, has played the long-running role of Linda Carter from 2013 and has recently been involved in a dramatic storyline.
As Sharon was sent down for contempt of court, the Walford landlady mentally broke down as she was tempted back to her old alcoholic ways.
But the actress recently worried fans after she took to her social media pages to flaunt her homemade piece of clay crockery.
She showed off her efforts after posing with her drying bowl, but her work was inscribed with the words, ‘The End’.
One account posted the image as they wrote: “Kellie posting this photo today with “The End” in her pottery piece, along with the funeral pics, is worrying me.”
In response, fans flooded the post with their own comments as another user posted: “Me after seeing this pop up on the timeline,” alongside an old clip of Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) suffering from stress.
“No what is she trying to do to us,” asked a third fan.
As someone else commented: “Hope it’s not what we’re predicting.”
As a fifth added: “KELLIE NO.”
This comes after pictures of a dramatic funeral featuring members of the Carter family emerged from the set of EastEnders.
It seems that both Lee Carter and his sister Nancy have returned to the soap for a family event.
In new images, Lee (Danny Hatchard) was seen helping a devastated and seemingly drunken Johnny (Charlie Suff).
The pair were both seen to have carried a white coffin to a church alongside Callum Highway (Tony Clay).
Linda’s daughter Nancy Carter (Maddy Hill) also returned to the long-running BBC soap opera.
Linda Carter's biggest EastEnders storylines
Linda arrived on the Square on Boxing Day in 2013, along with her husband Mick (Danny Dyer) and has been a hit with soap fans ever since.
Her first storylines revolved around the fact that she struggled to come to terms that her son Johnny is gay
In a storyline that had long-lasting repercussions, she was then raped by Mick’s brother Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo).
She fell pregnant shortly after and then was left devastated emotionally when she gave birth to a premature baby after falling down the stairs.
Things soon got worse for Linda after she discovered that her husband Mick kissed their daughter-in-law Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty), who was married to their veteran son Lee (Danny Hatchard).
One of her more memorable storylines was when she was accused of perverting the course of justice. This was after Stuart Highway (Ricky Champ) is shot and she was falsely accused of attempted murder.
Over the years she has suffered from a variety of illnesses and disorders which include bulimia, alcoholism, and a secret battle with cervical cancer. After she gave birth to her youngest son Ollie (Harry Farr), she also had to deal with his autism diagnosis.
Although she and Mick seemed to be the perfect couple, the pair split up for a short time after she had an affair with Max Branning (Jake Wood). This lead to another pregnancy.
However, the pair finally got divorced after Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) set her eyes on Mick. She wanted the landlord all to herself and she lured Linda rival back into alcoholism to drive a wedge between them.
After this led to Mick’s apparent death at sea, she struggled to adjust to life without her ex-husband and the true love of her life. This was just after the pair decided to have another go at their relationship.
Recently, Linda was the person who was at the very centre during ‘The Six’ storyline. She tried to save her best friend Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) when she was being strangled by Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters). When she killed him with a meat thermometer, the group framed her rapist Dead Wicks after he returned to the square. Since then, she has struggled to cope.
She was seen to have slapped her grandmother Elaine (Harriet Thorpe) after some sort of an argument.
Fans were left further worried as it appeared that Linda was absent from filming the new scenes.
EastEnders is available to watch on BBC One and stream on BBC iPlayer.
