BIG SURPRISE AHEAD!!! EastEnders reveals unfinished business for Linda and Max in surprise new scene
EastEnders’ Linda Carter is in the mood for dancing next week, when she hosts a salsa class at the community centre! But will everything go as she hopes, or will her event end up falling flat?
Linda is no stranger to bringing Walford residents together, having thrown plenty of special events at The Vic during her tenure as landlady.
So, when she comes up with the idea of holding a salsa class, it’s all systems go – and even Max Branning gets involved by encouraging his neighbours to show off their fancy footwork…
“It’s a really lovely idea that Linda comes up with,” begins our EastEnders insider. “She thrives when she’s bringing people together, particularly those who mean a lot to her.

“It’s also great to see Max show his support for Linda by urging others to turn up for the class. Who would’ve thought that either Max or Linda would be here this time last year? They must not quite believe it themselves!”

“Linda and Max are making progress before Cindy comes in,” says our insider. “There’s so much history between them that one conversation was never going to magically heal everything, but it could’ve been what they both needed for a fresh start.
“Maybe Cindy susses that out straight away, and that’s why she’s so keen to whisk her man away to the pub!”
Will Linda and Max pick up their conversation another day? And if so, what will Cindy have to say about it?
Max and Cindy recently got engaged ahead of the big flashforward episode on New Year’s Day 2027, which sees Max with a mystery bride. However, he woke up next to another woman on his wedding day, after cheating with Priya. It now looks possible that old flame Linda could become involved in the plot…
