EastEnders fans were left shocked by Linda’s selfish behaviour in the wake of her clash with Phil at the alcoholic support meeting and flocked to Twitter to express their dismay.
One fan tweeted: “That shows the lack of growth in Linda and her lack of acceptance of her illness. Phil’s words were spot on. I’m now part of the #ProtectDenisefromLinda brigade!”
Another added: “Unpopular opinion I found it a bit selfish of Linda to ask Phil for his AA day meeting after all he is also an alcoholic and going there way before she did. Linda has to learn she is not the only alcoholic in the world and everything doesn’t revolve around her. #EastEnders.”
