However, the past is constantly haunting her and next week on EastEnders will be no different.

The landlady is feeling glum when she discovers it's Janine's (Charlie Brooks) sentencing and not even talk of the upcoming coronation party can help take her mind off things.

Alfie (Shane Richie) talks to Jean about Linda and admits she's struggling as he comes to a realisation - Linda's serving a life sentence of her own living without Mick.

As the news of Janine's sentence comes in, Linda's downcast and Alfie can't really do anything to console her as he gets even worse news - she wants to cancel the coronation party.
