TINA Carter gets a horrible shock in EastEnders next week when she makes the discovery that Linda Carter has been secretly meeting up with vile bully Stuart Highway.

Tina – who is played by Luisa Bradshaw-White in the BBC soap – makes the shock discovery after growing suspicious of Linda’s behaviour as she continues to ignore the fact her husband Mick is in prison for something he didn’t do.

Linda – played by Kellie Bright – has already publicly turned her back on Mick after becoming convinced that he was guilty of shooting Stuart last month.

She’s told Mick that she doesn’t believe him any longer and has refused to take his calls or visit him in prison where he is waiting on remand for his trial.

His brief Ritchie Scott arrives at the pub next week and tells the Carters that she thinks Mick should plead guilty in the hope that he gets a reduced sentence.

But Linda tells Ritchie that her services are no longer required, leaving Tina gobsmacked.

Sensing something is going on with the blonde landlady, Tina enlists the help of Stuart’s brother Halfway and his girlfriend Whitney Dean to get hold of Linda’s phone.

When Tina looks on the phone though, she makes a horrifying discovery and can’t believe what she’s seeing.

Tina then decides to follow Linda when she heads out and her worst fears are confirmed when she sees Linda meet up with Stuart in a café and greet him like he’s an old friend.

A horrified Tina confronts the pair and lashes out at Stuart. What will Linda do?
