Linda will arrive back in Walford for a surprise party thrown by her husband Mick (Danny Dyer), but she will soon realise things have changed a lot since she was last at home. 

Having sold the pub’s freehold to Max Branning’s boss’s company, Mick is put on edge when their rep Fri Browning pays an unexpected visit to the Vic during the party.

Actress Kellie has been on maternity leave since November last year, after giving birth to her second child. 

She made a brief appearance as Linda earlier this year, when Linda dropped by to check in on her family. 

However, bosses are remaining tight-lipped as to whether Linda - who has been caring for her mum Elaine, following a stroke - is back for good this time round. 

‘EastEnders’ airs these scenes next Friday (30 June) at 8pm on BBC One.

Living legend Barbara Windsor has made numerous visits to Albert Square since officially leaving. She'll be back for live week, and fingers crossed there'll be a chance for the Queen Vic's most memorable landlady to yell that line again: "Get outta ma pub!" (credit:BBC )
Chrissie Watts (Tracey Ann Oberman, 2004-05)(04 of12)

After years of bullying Angie, Den Watts finally met his match in Chrissie, who gave as good as she got. Until murdering him, obviously. Sadly, she coudn't plan a good enough getaway, and was stopped by police as she prepared to board a flight. (credit:BBC )
Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks, 1999-2014)(05 of12)

Janine terrorised everyone from Billy Mitchell and Ian Beale, to Alice Branning, during her time in Walford. After inheriting millions, Janine became even more infuriatingly smug, but karma hit back and when she finally fell for Michael Moon, things didn't end well. (credit:BBC )
Linda Carter (Kellie Bright, 2014-Present)(06 of12)

She may be the newest of the bunch, but Kellie's character hasn't had it easy since moving into The Vic. While Linda has done her best to hold together the Carters, she's had a rough time, suffering a horrific assault at the hands of her brother-in-law, and acting as peacekeeper during the family's many feuds. Can she hold things together? (credit:BBC )
Pauline Fowler (Wendy Richard, 1985-2006)(07 of12)

Pauline was the original 'EastEnders' matriach, and there wasn't a problem she couldn't fix. Sadly, actress Wendy died in 2009, following a battle with breast cancer. (credit:BBC )
Cora Cross (Ann Mitchell, 2011-Present)(08 of12)

Cora's dry sense of humour and witty putdowns manage to inspire giggles during even the most torturous scenes. As mother to Tanya and Rainie, she certainly has more than her fair shares of problems. (credit:BBC )
Dot Cotton (June Brown, 1985-93, 1997-Present)(09 of12)

Where would we be without Dot's wise words? The laundrette worker has been on hand to offer advice to anyone who needs it, since the show first aired in 1985. (credit:BBC )

Jane is the longest-serving member of the cast, y'know. Bravo to Tracey for managing not to chip in during all those rows... (credit:BBC )
