Soaps

W

alford men are dropping

like flies. As Phil Mitchell is

hooked up to a bleep-bleep

machine in hospital after

being viciously attacked, Mick Carter

keels over this week while refereeing

a kiddies’ football match.

Mick’s collapse isn’t entirely

unsurprising and comes after

The Vic landlord has had ‘agg’ from

all angles. First off, he’s called on to

referee a different kind of match –

one of the slanging variety, between

his missus Linda and Ruby.

Our Walford mole says, ‘Ruby

has kicked off at Honey for playing

loud music in her flat, but it turns out

Janet was to blame. Ruby feels awful,

knowing Janet has Down’s syndrome,

and gives her a present to say sorry.

‘Linda overhears, and thinks Ruby is

treating Janet differently

because she has a learning

disability. It’s a very

sensitive subject for

her, given that her

own child, Ollie, is

most likely autistic.’

As a row

escalates, Mick

arrives and soon

manages to defuse

it. But just when

it seems calm has

been restored, he

causes Ollie to

become involved

in a worrying

incident, which

prompts Linda

and Shirley

to give him

a mouthful.

From thereon in, it’s one thing after

another. Linda’s on his case about their

finances, Mitch is badgering him about

refereeing a match, and Tina relies on

him when she has a crisis at The Prince

Albert. Mick’s happy to help, but

when he returns to a packed

Vic, he gets it in the neck

for abandoning ship.

In a bid to shake off

his worries, he decides

to go for a run. Bex spots

him struggling, and her

concerns grow when she

then sees him in the cafe,

clearly in pain.

Carrying on as

normal, The Queen Vic

landlord later dons his

trackie and heads off

to do his refereeing

duties. It’s just

Walford kids against

a local side, but as

Mick soon discovers,

dealing with a group

of young’uns is no

walk in the park.

Our mole adds,

‘The atmosphere

gets really tetchy,

and one of the

children is

injured. Everyone

turns on Mick,

and to everyone’s

horror, he

then suddenly

collapses.’

Has Mick had

a heart attack?

And if so, will he

pull through?
