EastEnders spoilers follow.

EastEnders has revealed the aftermath of Bernie Taylor and Linda Carter's storyline twist.

Viewers will know that Linda killed Bernie's brother Keanu in the culmination of The Six storyline over Christmas. The six women have covered their tracks ever since.

In March, the walls began to close in after the discovery of Keanu's body under the café floor, which saw Sharon get arrested in the aftermath.

This week, Linda was on edge after receiving an anonymous letter that suggested someone knew about the events of Christmas Day.

Dean, who is in prison for Keanu's murder, is later visited by the mystery blackmailer, who is revealed to be Bernie. Determined to uncover what happened to her brother, Bernie teamed up with Dean to get the truth out of Linda.

In scenes set to air on Monday, August 12, and Tuesday, August 13, Linda is due to testify at Dean's upcoming trial for Keanu's murder, where she'll give false evidence.

Ahead of a pre-trial meeting, Linda struggles with her sobriety after receiving more poison pen letters.

At the prison, Dean urges Bernie to send more letters to put pressure on Linda, so she begins sending texts too.

The next day, Linda has been drinking all night, leaving Johnny at a loss for how to help her. Gina tells him to use his legal knowledge to help his mum, before revealing she'll look after Linda.

Johnny later returns home and has a huge argument with Linda. When he's calmed down, Johnny returns to find his mum in a life-threatening situation. Have Bernie's actions risked Linda's life?
