EastEnders viewers confused by major Linda Carter storyline gap following Vic fire

Linda’s signature pink wardrobe remains untouched

A few months on from the fire at The Vic, EastEnders fans are now pointing out a major ‘plot hole’ involving Linda Carter.

The pub was forced to shut down for renovations after the blaze, with significant damage done to the interior.

However, despite the destruction, Linda’s personal belongings appear to have miraculously survived unscathed.

The Queen Vic Blaze on EastEnders

Back in February, EastEnders marked its 40th anniversary with an explosive storyline. Reiss Colwell caused a devastating fire at The Queen Vic after crashing a car into the barrel store.

At the time, the pub was packed with guests celebrating Billy and Honey’s wedding.

As flames engulfed the building, chaos broke out and the punters became trapped inside while the structure began to collapse.

Tragically, Martin Fowler was killed during the dramatic scenes when a heavy piece of metal fell and crushed his legs.

In the weeks that followed, major efforts were made to restore and reopen the iconic heart of Walford. However, viewers have only recently noticed that the upstairs of the pub must have escaped the worst of the damage.

Fans Spot Major Linda Carter Plot Inconsistency

Viewers are questioning a possible plot hole involving Linda Carter, as she continues to wear her signature pink outfits that she owned prior to The Queen Vic fire.

Fans have been left wondering how Linda’s belongings managed to survive the blaze seemingly untouched.

One Reddit user asked: “Did Linda not lose any of her stuff in the explosion?”

“I’ve noticed she’s still wearing clothes from before the fire, and even old photos are still hanging up in The Vic. Wouldn’t everything have been destroyed?” they continued. “Maybe I’ve missed something.”

Another fan chimed in: “They mentioned it was just smoke damage, but it’s a bit far-fetched—especially since The Vic looks almost identical after the renovation because ‘punters know what they like.’”

A third joked: “Maybe Linda thought, ‘I’ll just take everything to the laundrette the day before the fire—just in case!’”
