EastEnders fans were overwhelmed to see Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) show off her new wave of confidence after she “played Janine at her own game” in Albert Square.
During Wednesday’s (May 18) instalment of the beloved BBC One soap, loyal viewers watched tensions rise in Watford after Mick Carter’s ex-wife took a stand against his new fling Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks).
Since the scheming blonde bombshell hooked up with the owner of the Queen Vic, it’s fair to say Janine has been desperate to get his ex to move out and even offered her £25,000 to uproot herself from the beloved London town.
Viewers were left baffled after the manipulative new lover appeared to pull out the staggering sum of money seemingly from nowhere, with many fans of the show convinced that the eye-watering price was an obvious plot hole missed by BBC bosses.

But it’s fair to say bosses hadn’t overlooked the jaw-dropping the price after bosses raised the stakes when the loving mum demanded more money for leaving her life behind her.
After she managed to double her rate to £50,000, EastEnders fans hailed the cunning star for “playing Janine at her own game”.
As Linda entered the Cafe, Janine asked: “I take it you’ve come to a decision on my proposition then?”
Linda replied: “You win, Janie , I’ll leave. But what you offered isn’t enough – you’ll need to double it.”

“I haven’t got fifty grand” she replied as she chuckled at her renegotiation.
“Well you’ll have to find it,” Linda ordered. “I have no job, no house, two young kids. I need enough to start again properly.”
Throughout the show, fans flooded to Twitter to share their joy at the interaction as they praised the TV character for finding her inner strength against the TV villain.

A third penned: “Linda seeing right through ya Janine #EastEnders.”
