EastEnders: Danny Dyer's exit explained as Mick and Linda move on from the Vic

EASTENDERS fans were delighted when Mick and Linda Carter sold the pub to Sharon and Ian in a shock twist at the end of the soap's finale.

But while it made for a whopping cliffhanger as the soap takes a break due to the pandemic, it also signals the end of the Carters’ era in the legendary pub. So what’s next for Mick and Linda? Here’s everything you need to know about Danny Dyer and Kellie Bright’s exits…

Are Danny Dyer and Kellie Bright leaving EastEnders?

Admitting that the best thing for Linda’s recovery from alcoholism would be to have a fresh start away from the pub, Mick made the heartbreaking decision to sell his beloved pub.

EastEnders are yet to confirm whether this means that Danny Dyer and Kellie Bright will be moving on to pastures new, but that hasn’t stopped fans fearing the worst. 

One fan tweeted: “I can’t believe Danny dyer is leaving eastenders.”

Another added: “Awww really hoping Danny dyer and Kellie bright haven’t left eastenders.”

But with EastEnders on hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic, fans will have to wait to find out whether Mick and Linda are departing from the Square.

Might the Carters take over another Walford business?

If Mick and Linda do stick around in Walford, they’ll have to find another way to earn a living pretty sharpish now that they’ve sold their livelihood.

While it’s possible that Mick could stay on at the pub as a barman while Linda finds another job, might the couple take over another Walford establishment?

Given that the pub and Ruby’s will be out of bounds, might the couple bag themselves a stall on the market alongside the likes of Martin Fowler and start flogging fruit and veg?

Or might the couple try and muscle in on the Arches?

Alternatively, Mick could take over Frank Butcher’s car lot and spend his days persuading customers to part with their cash for a new pair of wheels.

But, while Mick might be well suited to becoming the new face of the car lot, it’s hard to imagine Linda loving it over there. 

With EastEnders yet to speak out about what’s in store for the Carters when the soap returns to our screens, fans will have to wait and see.

Are Linda and Phil still going to have an affair in EastEnders?

EastEnders fans have been predicting an affair between Linda and Phil for months after noticing sparks flying during an argument. 

Linda was livid when Phil turned up at her new help group and only agreed to attend a new meeting if she sold him the Queen Vic. 

Linda didn’t like being blackmailed and a fiery showdown between the pair ensued, but some fans thought they spotted chemistry. 

Without the pub to occupy her, might a bored Linda turn to an affair with Phil – and destroy her relationship with Mick once and for all?

Some fans are also speculating that Mick might stay on as a barman and strike up a romance with the new pub landlady Sharon.

One fan tweeted: “Mick stays on as barman. Linda is bored as a sober housewife, ends up in an affair with Phil. Meanwhile, feeling lost, Mick and Sharon become close…”

Another added: “Literally. I'm all for Phil and Sharon getting back together and fixing their relationship and Linda moving out of the Vic with Mick. I really don't want an affair, it'd be so unfair on Mick.”

But fans will have to wait and see if there's a brutal betrayal on the cards for the Carters.
