There's never a dull moment on EastEnders! Show bosses have been forced to make last-minute changes to an upcoming explosive storyline after a stunt went wrong. According to reports, Linda Carter and son Jonny might be left fighting for their lives after a horrific car crash while traveling in an ambulance. New pictures, which have emerged online, have shown that a stuntman survived a near-miss accident when the vehicle flipped on its side by accident.
Linda is expected to have a dramatic showdown with Mick next week
Digital Spy have claimed that the ambulance was not supposed to be flipped and that the "accident took place while filming". The script was then "adapted to account for the real-life mishap". The scenes come shortly after fans will see Linda return to the Square. The beloved character, played by Kellie Bright, gave birth to baby Gene, her second son with husband Paul Stocker, in November.
