Shirley and Linda Carter are the favourites to replace Mick as the next Landlord of the iconic Queen Vic
After a chaotic Christmas period in Albert Square, bookies are giving odds on who will be the next Landlord of the Queen Vic pub following Mick Carter's departure from the show.
Danny Dyer's character Mick swam to his death on Christmas Day after trying to save Linda Carter from the sea following him saving Janine from a sinking car.
William Hill are offering odds on who will replace Mick Carter as the next permanent Landlord of the Queen Vic.
Linda Carter is the current temporary Landlord after sharing ownership with Mick before his supposed death and she is 3/1 favourite to do the role permanently.
| Next Queen Vic Landlord After Mick Carter | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Shirley Carter | 3/1 | 25% |
| Linda Carter | 3/1 | 25% |
| Ricky Butcher | 4/1 | 20% |
| Ian Beale | 4/1 | 20% |
| Sharon Watts | 5/1 | 16.7% |
Danny Dyer's Mick Carter left the show on Christmas Day
Christmas Day's episode of Eastenders is usually a dramatic one and it was no different here during 2022's festive special.
With Janine Carter heading to Dover to escape the police, her car steered off the road and straight off a cliff.
Mick jumped in to save Janine and their unborn baby at Linda's plea and saved her but then went back into the sea to try and save Linda.
Unbeknownst to Mick, Linda was already safe and the show ended with a shot of the sea and Mick presumably dead at sea.
Shirley smashed up Queen Vic after Mick disappeared
Shirley Carter said an emotional goodbye to the Square during the festive period after her son Mick's death left her grieving.
Shirley originally tore The Vic to shreds after finding out that her son was dead and looked to be spiralling out of control.
Linda Henry's character's final scene showed her walking away from the square and it's unclear if she will return to the show.
