*Warning: This article contains spoilers for Tuesday 13th February\u2019s EastEnders, which was made available on BBC iPlayer at 6am.*<\/strong><\/p>\n Three Walford locals formed an alliance to get rid of a villainous character in the latest instalment of EastEnders<\/a>.<\/p>\n After finding out that his rapist uncle, Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo), is back in town<\/a>, Johnny was determined to support his mum Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) and stop her from drinking.<\/p>\n He suggested they bake a birthday cake for Gina Knight (Francesca Henry) together, but Linda was soon tempted to go in search of anything alcoholic.<\/p>\n At the Minute Mart, Johnny\u2019s presence prevented Linda from giving in \u2013 but on shift at The Vic, she started drinking once more.<\/p>\n As Gina\u2019s party got underway, Johnny told Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden) and Callum Highway (Tony Clay) he was going to step up for his mum.<\/p>\n But when a drunk Linda dropped Gina\u2019s cake, and Gina laughed, Johnny angrily shouted her down, having noticed Gina being friendly with Dean, and learned that she had briefly dated him.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p>\n Johnny made a scene as he blamed everyone for not taking a stand against Dean, adding that as far as he could see, Dean was the root of all his mum\u2019s problems. Of course, little does Johnny know that Linda is also struggling under the weight of her killer actions on Christmas Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the Square, Callum and Ben checked on Johnny, admitting they understood his fury over Dean and concern for Linda, but it was difficult to know what to do about it.<\/p>\n Ben, understanding Linda\u2019s trauma more than anyone<\/a> in the group, quietly offered to help get rid of Dean. Callum protested, but Ben pointed out that Linda shouldn\u2019t have to see her attacker every day.<\/p>\n With that, police detective Callum agreed to be involved, but insisted that they weren\u2019t to do anything illegal. What will they do to get rid of Dean?<\/p>\n Anyone affected by Linda\u2019s story can find support by visiting\u00a0Rape Crisis<\/a>, or calling their 24\/7 Rape & Sexual Abuse Support Line on 0808 500 2222.<\/em><\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.<\/strong><\/p>\n Visit our dedicated\u00a0<\/strong>EastEnders<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0page for all the latest news, interviews and spoilers.
