EASTENDERS fans all have the same reaction to Linda and Mick Carter’s blunder to his daughter Frankie.

The former couple - who are played by actors Kellie Bright and Danny Dyer in the BBC soap - are desperate to find evidence that stops Linda from being sent to prison for a drunk driving charge.

Viewers know Janine Butcher was actually driving the car with Linda and baby Annie inside, when she crashed into a tree.

Janine quickly covered up the smash and framed Linda for it.

However tonight Linda began to remember what happened - and Mick helped her go through her phone bill to see who she phoned for help that day.

They discovered, much to Janine’s panic, that Linda made a 40 second call to the Vic.

But they don’t yet know Janine answered.

Mick even phoned Nancy to check whether she answered the call in question.

A panicking Janine told them all: “So it wasn’t her.

“It was me, it wasn’t Shirley and it certainly wasn’t Tracy - no-one ever rings her. Sorry, you know what I mean, it’s Tracy, isn’t it?”

However Linda then asked Frankie if she had picked up the phone - despite the glaring issue with that.

“Frankie, day of the crash, did I speak to you on the phone?” Linda said to a bemused Frankie.

Mick then added: “She rang the Vic, did you answer it?”

Deaf Frankie then pointed out the obvious saying: “I wouldn’t hear it.”

Viewers all had the same complaint about the blunder. 

One wrote on twitter: "We appreciate that the Carter's are desperately grasping at straws but did they really just ask Frankie if she 'heard the phone'?!"

A second took the mickey out of Mick, tweeting: "Who answered ma blowa?"

Another added: "Made me giggle."

"It was so funny" chipped in a fourth.

Will Janine get busted?
