EastEnders shock as Shirley Carter makes explosive discovery
EASTENDERS fans are in shock after Shirley Carter made a huge discovery that sets up an explosive Christmas Day episode.
The mother of Mick Carter – who is played by actress Linda Henry in the BBC soap – is desperate to stop him marrying Janine Butcher, but she failed tonight.
Shirley was desperate to put a stop to the wedding and had been investigating Janine and caught her meeting up with a mystery man.
She called a halt to the vows to expose Janine’s ‘cheating’ but the truth was worse.
Janine was picking up keys for a new pub for the couple after their wedding, revealing their plans to leave Walford behind.
Back at the pub, Mick kicked Shirley out and told her to get out and spend Christmas with Linda until Mick and Janine had left for their new life.
They were interrupted by Rocky who came to take them downstairs to see a special performance.
“You, did you know about this – the new pub?” Shirley said confronting Scarlett.
“Was it the photograph you were hiding?”
Scarlett lied and said it was – but Shirley was suspicious.
With everyone else outside watching Rag N Bone man sing – she took advantage of the quiet and searched through Scarlett’s room.
Tearing it apart, Shirley said: “I’ve got you,” she said before noticing what the picture was really of.
Viewers know it is from the night Janine framed Linda for drink driving.
“Janine?” she said puzzled, setting up an explosive Christmas Day episode of the BBC soap.
And fans cannot wait.
