Jon continued: “Linda’s descent into alcoholism will be instantly recognisable to many – a journey that begins with a single drink to cope with the everyday ups and downs but quickly escalates to a point which wreaks devastation on their life and the lives of those around them.
“In telling Linda’s story we hope that anyone in Linda’s situation or those around them notice the signs of alcoholism and seek the help needed.”
As she becomes more concerned for her daughter-in-law’s wellbeing, will Shirley tell her son Mick about her concerns for his wife?
What will happen if he discovers his beloved has been hiding how much she’s been really struggling with their mounting pressures?
EastEnders continues Monday at 8pm on BBC One.
