SUMMER in the Square

UNDER SUSPICION The events of Christmas Day come back to haunt Linda and Sharon...

- ALISON SLADE

That memorable Christmas Day in The Vic – when Linda sent Keanu to Walford heaven courtesy of a meat thermometer to stop him strangling Sharon – was the basis of some beefy drama in early 2024 as the two pals, along with witnesses Denise, Suki, Kathy and Stacey, battled to cover up the crime.

It hasn’t been easy – poor Denise was so traumatised that she suffered a mental breakdown, while innocent Sharon was wrongly arrested – but ‘The Six’ are now home and dry thanks to Stacey’s canny plot to frame Linda’s unpunished rapist, Dean. Or are they?

As summer approaches and Dean remains on remand, a new update leads to Linda and Sharon facing renewed pressure…

‘More questions emerge about what happened on that fateful day,’ reveals our Walford mole. ‘Sharon and Linda are left reeling as they suddenly find themselves back in the spotlight.’

Dean is guilty of many things, but Keanu’s murder isn’t one of them. Determined to avoid a life sentence, it’s likely he’ll have been beavering away behind bars, trying to get a case together to win his freedom.
