Nish’s vendetta against Suki and Eve will likely rival the iconic moments that have defined EastEnders’ Christmas legacy.

Meanwhile, Linda Carter’s heartbreaking battle with alcoholism continues to pull at viewers’ heartstrings. Her struggle has sparked speculation about a possible return of her ex-husband Mick Carter.
