alcoholism storyline for linda
EastEnders will explore the issue of alcoholism with Linda Carter in a new storyline.
Viewers have seen Linda (Kellie Bright) facing stress lately after a cancer scare and the shock that her husband Mick (Danny Dyer) had been hiding severe panic attacks from her.
The couple have also been going through the autism assessment process with their son Ollie in a storyline crafted in collaboration with the National Autistic Society.
Upcoming EastEnders episodes will see Linda depending more and more on alcohol to get through each day as she copes with additional stress. Her secret drinking will become increasingly difficult to hide.
"This autumn the Carters will face one of their biggest crises to date when Linda turns to alcohol to escape the increasing pressures of her family life," executive producer Jon Sen said.
"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."
EastEnders is working with advocacy group Drinkaware to ensure the issue of alcoholism is treated with the utmost sensitivity on the soap.
"Working with EastEnders on this storyline will help us put a spotlight on the potentially harmful result of getting into the habit of drinking regularly," Drinkaware's Elaine Hindal said.
"Credit to the scriptwriters who are sensitively showing the journey of how easy it can be for someone to develop risky drinking habits. Linda’s experiences with alcohol demonstrate why it's important to be able to recognise signs that you, or someone you care about, could be developing drinking habits that could cause harm to themselves or others."
As mentioned, EastEnders has previously explored important topics such as cancer, suicide and sexual assault through the Carter family.

i think id prefer concentrate on autism storyline that have this over shadow it
I think it would have been better to do an alcoholic storyline around Phil......oh, hang on a minute.....

I don't get why Linda is drinking heavily now, she has been through worse
Maybe she reached the point now where the straw broke the camel's back ........Quote:

she won't be able to have a vino again????
so linda the annoying drunk planned keanu's escape and shot him, gone all gangsta and still no idea why she started drinking
I am sick of her drinking, Mick should kick her out, send her off to Elaine or bring Elaine back to help
Linda mentioned Dean, has he contacted her, is there more to her drinking than Ollie's autism
Yea it's getting boring now, we have had this storyline before with Phil, (and others?)Quote:

Guess it is easier to kick somebody that is down than to help them get up.........Quote:
