EastEnders spoiler: Is it over for Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter amid HUGE betrayal?
MICK CARTER is set to be betrayed on EastEnders next week as massive decisions about the Queen Vic are made behind his back.
Max Branning makes Shirley a generous offer in EastEnders
Although the pub landlord is off screen at the moment due to Danny Dyer's short break from the show, it seems that his absence spells trouble as his financial troubles only get worse.
Viewers watched in horror as yesterday's episode saw Max Branning (played by Jake Wood) offer to help the Carters out of their financial difficulties, telling Shirley (Linda Henry) that she should sell him the freehold of the Queen Vic.
However, with Shirley's dog Lady Di currently in need of some major medical treatments, she was unsure about whether to part with the money for Di or put her to sleep to fund the Vic.
In scenes that will air next week, Shirley will confide in newcomer Woody Woodward (Lee Ryan) as she toils between the agonising choice.
Just when it seems like Shirley is ready to part ways with her beloved pooch, Woody reminds her just how much Di means to Mick and his wife Linda (Kellie Bright).
When she realises that Woody is right, Shirley reaches out to Linda who suggests that they should sell the freehold to scheming Max.
However, Linda tells Shirley not to share this with Mick, choosing instead to cut him out of their massive family decision.
Concerned that Mick should know what's happening to his pub, Whitney (Shona McGarty) calls the landlord to warn him until she is caught in the act by Woody.
With tensions running high and everyone going behind everyone's backs, will Shirley sign the paperwork or not?
EastEnders continues on Monday at 8pm on BBC One.
