She has been manipulating Stuart ever since she publicly disowned her own husband Mick while he languishes in prison.

Stuart set him up for shooting him in the pub as part of his long-running scheme to take over his life.

And it’s worked with Stuart last night even donning Mick’s famous waistcoat for a stint behind the bar.

But when Linda’s mother-in-law Shirley returned to find him she flew at him furious and began insulting Linda who dragged her into the back and finally admitted her plan.

Brandishing her wedding ring from her bra, Linda told Shirley: “Mick, me, us, always. Do you really think I’d chuck this away? That I’d throw us away?

“I will have my Mick back, I will get him out but I will do it my way so let it go. Do you understand me?”

Fans immediately took to Twitter to brag about their own ability to spot the storyline a mile off.

One wrote: “I KNEW that’s what Linda was doing! #EastEnders”

A second said: “#Eastenders Called it!! Knew Linda was playing Stuart, no-one believed my theory!!”

“We all know what Stuart is capable of but he could have met his match in Linda?”

And fans are terrified for Linda with one concerned viewer writing: “I also think Stuart knows that Linda’s playing a game.
