Is Maria Friedman Returning To Eastenders? Fans Speculate

The character Linda Carter returned to the square in 2023, bringing her new partner George Knight and his two daughters Gina and Anna to Albert Square.

Linda Carter is played by Kellie Bright in the popular BBC soap opera EastEnders. She left the show in 2020 to spend more time with her family but returned to the show in 2023 for a new storyline with her family and George Knight, who is played by Colin Salmon. The storyline focused on Linda’s return after years of being away and her involvement in the Queen Vic pub.
