Johnny reflected on the đeath of Mick
Johnny Carter (Charlie Suff) was left destroyed in recent EastEnders scenes as he reflected on the death of his dad, Mick Carter (Danny Dyer).
Mick went missing at sea on Christmas Day 2022, and has since been presumed dead, despite his body never being found.
In tonightâs (February 19) episode, Johnny reflected on why he had not come home to Albert Square following Mickâs disappearance, having moved to Manchester to start a new life in 2018.
Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) comforted him as he admitted that he should have come home sooner, revealing that siblings Lee and Nancy had asked him to come back.

However, he explained that he didnât want to come back to the Queen Vic without his dad there.
As he spoke to Linda, it was clear that he regretted his decision to stay away for so long, reflecting on how Mick had always been there for him, and how he felt as though he had let his dad down by not coming home to look after Linda.
Following their conversation, Linda asked Johnny if he blamed her for Mick and Janine Butcherâs relationship.
He assured her that he didnât, and apologised for making his disappearance âall about himâ.
As Linda revealed how much she missed Mick, and how often she wondered if she could have put a stop to things between him and Janine sooner, Johnny admonished himself for not being there for her.
Linda assured him that it didnât matter, because he was here now, and Johnny promised that he would help her to beat her drink problem.
He also promised that he would help to keep her out of prison following Keanu Taylorâs (Danny Walters) murder, so that she could put everything behind her and move on.
Will Johnny be able to keep his promises?
