EastEnders' Linda Carter makes a huge confession to Alfie Moon after the Christmas Day murder next week.
In upcoming scenes, Alfie meets a nervous fellow patient called Shahir during one of his last radiotherapy sessions but feels lonely when Shahir's loved ones show up while he's alone.
After treatment, Linda invites him for a drink in The Vic, also inviting Ian Beale and Billy Mitchell along for company. The drinks go well until Alfie can’t get to the toilet in time and has an accident. Alfie is mortified about wetting himself but Linda begs him to open up about his cancer diagnosis. Eventually, Alfie opens up and his shocked friends vow to be there for him.

Soap fans will recall that over the festive period, The Six - made up of Linda, Denise Fox, Stacey Slater, Suki Panesar, Sharon Watts and Kathy Beale - grouped together to cover up a murder. During the explosive episode, Suki's abusive husband Nish Panesar tried to stop her from leaving him for lover Eve Unwin as he got aggressive.

After thinking he was dead, he was able to be revived but during the dramatic scenes, Sharon's jilted groom Keanu Taylor showed up and attempted to take her son, Albie, where he started strangling Sharon to which Linda stabbed him.
So far, The Six have covered up the murder by hiding Keanu's body in the abandoned café following the fire, while Nish, who is back in Walford after his coma, currently fails to remember anything from that day.
