The Heartbreaking Funeral
Linda Carter, portrayed by Kellie Bright, is still reeling from her actions as the news of Keanu Taylor’s funeral spreads like wildfire.
Keanu’s sister, Bernie Taylor, played by Clair Norris, takes the initiative to organize the funeral at the Queen Vic, receiving approval from the zoned-out Elaine Peacock, played by Harriet Thorpe.
In a dramatic turn of events, Linda moves upstairs for a drink and encounters her distressed son, Johnny, portrayed by Charlie Suff.
She informs him about her plans to visit Sharon Watts to pass on the news.
However, Sharon is already aware, thanks to Bernie, and is soon approached by Phil Mitchell, portrayed by Steve McFadden, who asks if he can spend more time with their son, Albie.
Emotional Struggles and Unexpected Challenges
Sharon is shocked to learn from Johnny that Linda already knows about Keanu’s funeral.
They find a wasted Linda in the barrel store, prompting Sharon and Johnny to try to bring her to her senses.
Later, Sharon has a heartfelt conversation with Kathy Cotton, portrayed by Gillian Taylforth, and tries to sober Linda up.
Sharon’s efforts to help Linda face unexpected challenges, especially when Linda attends an AA meeting, cause Sharon to panic about what she might say in her drunken state.
Despite these struggles, Linda pushes herself to organize Keanu’s funeral.
Coping with the Loss
Linda offers to help Sharon break the news of Keanu Taylor’s death to Albie, but Sharon hesitates.
Only when she receives advice from Martin Fowler does she decide to tell Albie.
Sharon’s decision to attend the funeral is solidified thanks to Linda’s young son, Ollie, who convinces her to go for Albie’s sake.
Linda and Kathy eventually hold a private memorial for Keanu Taylor at The Arches, giving Sharon a space to say her farewells.
