EastEnders spoilers: Mick Carter turns to booze to cope with prison trauma
The pub landlord has been seen struggling with his mental health since his release last month
MICK Carter’s prison nightmare looks like it still isn’t over in EastEnders next week as he finds himself turning to booze and injures himself, putting his new side-hustle as a football coach at risk.
As the week kicks off Mick – who’s played by Danny Dyer in the BBC soap –is prepping for his coaching assessment.
But he gets distracted when he and Linda start to get flirty.
Mick’s mum Shirley Carter soon ruins the moment as she interrupts to tell them one of the pumps down in the bar has broken.
Mitch Baker steps in to fix the pump and challenges Mick to a drink off which he readily accepts.
But as the pair drunkenly mess around, Mick ends up hurting his back, leaving Linda – Kellie Bright - seething with annoyance.
Linda puts the injured Mick to bed before furiously turning on Mitch and telling him that he’d better make sure Mick makes it to the coaching course tomorrow.
She’s less than impressed though when Mitch turns up the following morning with an old wheelchair to get him to his course.
Will Mick make it to the course on time?
