AFTER a harrowing fortnight which saw EastEnders parents Mick and Linda Carter
fear for the life of their baby they are finally told little Ollie can
return home.
The Queen Vic landlords have been riding an emotional rollercoaster ever since
doctors revealed the little boy had a brain haemorrhage which now might
leave him with permanent issues.
The youngster fell out of his high chair and smashed his head during a family
fight started by Mick’s (Danny Dyer) daughter, Nancy (Maddie Hill) who was
angry with her brother Lee (Danny-Boy Hatchard).
Nancy sees Ollie coming home as a sign to make amends and gets busy organising
a combined Easter egg hunt and welcome home party at the pub.
Though it’s not all smiles, as viewers will see the blonde left in floods of
tears when her dad tells her he will never forgive her for Ollie’s accident.
Actress Maddie Hill has since revealed she will be quitting the BBC soap so
soap fans will be left guessing as to whether she can patch things up with
her dad before she bids farewell to Walford.

Meanwhile Mick is struggling to come to terms with the prognosis for the
future of his youngest.
When the couple were told any brain damage to their child could take years to
develop the troubled parent took his frustration out on Linda (Kellie
Bright) after thinking the seriousness of the medical statement just hadn’t
sunk in.
Telly fans will then see him attempt to enlist the help of Honey Mitchell, who
raised a baby with Downs Syndrome, to chat to his wife but she is shown the
door.
The emotion-packed scenes round off a torrid time for the family who
discovered the youngster lifeless in his cot following the family feud on
Mother’s Day.
Despite Linda’s best efforts to rescusitate him he suffered a brutal seizure
and was whisked to hospital.
In a distressing clip, Mick can be heard desperately calling for help –
telling paramedics over the phone: “I’m his dad tell me what to do.”
The Easter EastEnders scenes air on Thursday 24 March.
