EastEnders' Linda is shocked by Keanu news in early iPlayer release
EastEnders spoilers follow from Monday's episode (June 10), which hasn't yet aired on BBC One.
EastEnders' Linda Carter has received big news about Keanu Taylor in the show's latest episode.
In today's visit to Albert Square, Linda was despondent as Ollie was asking her questions about his late dad Mick, in the lead-up to Father's Day.
Linda admitted to Elaine and Johnny that she dreamt about Mick last night, and she was supported by her family.
However, her day soon got worse when Bernie told her that Keanu's funeral would be this week, and she asked if they could hold the wake in The Vic.

This was difficult for Linda – not only because she killed Keanu in the Christmas Day culmination of The Six storyline, but also because it happened in the pub.
She was shocked by this news, but Elaine overheard and jumped in, saying they would be thrilled to host at the pub free of charge – under the impression that Dean had killed Keanu.
Pushed to the limit, Linda later decided to take a break, swiping a bottle of wine and drinking it in the kitchen.
Johnny, who found out about Linda's involvement in Keanu's death back in February, found his mum and supported her – promising that she was going to get through it.
Linda told her son that she'd only had one glass of wine for the shock, then said she was going to break the news to Sharon. However, Johnny saw from the bottle that she'd drunk a lot more than one glass.

Meanwhile, Sharon found out about Keanu's funeral through Bernie. Then, when she asked Johnny if Linda knew, he realised that his mum had never gone to tell her.
Johnny and Sharon then heard a loud noise coming from the barrel store and when they went down to investigate, they found Linda on the floor, drunk.
As Johnny comforted her, Linda started shouting about her guilt over Keanu's death, while Sharon warned her to keep it down.
"I killed him," she wailed, "and I deserve to be punished."
Will Linda manage to get through Keanu's funeral without confessing to his murder?
