EastEnders fans all saying the same thing after Linda Carter forgets who Janine Butcher is
EASTENDERS fans all have the same thought after Janine Butcher went after Linda Carter.
The schemer – who is played by actress Charley Brooks in the BBC soap – manipulated her alcoholic love rival into starting drinking again.
She first contacted Linda from Mick’s phone – cancelling their planned reunion.
And she then went to Linda’s mum’s pub to track her down using her Judith Bernstein identity.
However, Linda failed to properly recognise Janine – despite their previous clash.
Pretending to be a wine rep, Janine dangled an expensive wine in front of Linda while getting her to open up about her failed marriage and children.
“I need another drink, are you sure you won’t join me?” Janine said as she poured a large glass for herself.
“One wouldn’t hurt,” Linda said.
Linda then opened up about her problems with Mick to Janine – as she drank more wine.
Janine stirred the pot – telling Linda that she should move on from Mick, telling her that he would be there if he loved her.
And as Linda drank more wine, she seemed to accept that her marriage was over, leaving Janine thrilled.
And before she left she snapped a picture of Linda sat downing wine alone.
However despite everything – fans couldn’t believe Linda wouldn’t recognise Janine after their first meeting.

When the Carters first arrived in Walford there was a bidding war for the Vic that the family won – against Janine.
Linda famously threw her out of the pub and with Janine working in the Vic, there’s no way Linda wouldn’t know Janine.
And viewers were all saying the same thing.
