EastEnders women rocked by huge event during Queen Vic lockin
LIFE in Walford has sometimes left Albert Square ladies confused, damaged and heartbroken.
Yet when they decide to blow off some steam during a Queen Vic lock in, the EastEnders women are rocked again.
When all else fails them, Square residents have the habit of turning to The Vic for advice or company.
But when the iconic pub closes one evening next week, Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) allows the ladies of Walford to have some time to themselves while everybody else heads off home.
Coming up next week on BBC One, the women bond over their shared experiences, moaning about the men in their lives.
However, it's soon clear that everything can change for them in a flash - as proven by Linda Carter who lost her estranged husband Mick soon after agreeing with him to give their marriage another go.

Elsewhere in the Square, Denise Fox (Diane Parish) feels awkward when she meets her husband Jack Branning for a drink at The Vic and spots Ravi Gulati in the distance.
She kisses Jack to prove a point to Ravi, as well as herself, but when the copper leaves for a work commitment, a drunk Denise makes a new move on the hunky gangster.
Ravi refuses to take advantage of her in her drunken state and turns her down, only for Denise to lash out at him and forcing him to leave.
Denise later seeks advice from Sharon, who's had her fair share of love triangles in the past, as she secretly tries to validate her feelings for Ravi.
