This article contains spoilers for tonight\u2019s EastEnders<\/a>, which has not yet aired on TV but is available to watch now on BBC<\/a> iPlayer.<\/p>\n

Two EastEnders characters are set to leave Albert Square behind after being gifted an opportunity in recent scenes.<\/p>\n

Linda Carter<\/a> (Kellie Bright<\/a>) made the difficult decision to sell the Queen Vic in recent weeks, and tonight the sale was finalised.<\/p>\n

Kat Slater <\/a>(Jessie Wallace<\/a>) was determined to get her hands on the local boozer, and things were looking promising when Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) offered her the money from Martin Fowler\u2019s life insurance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) also had his sights set on the pub, not to mention local developers who were interested in demolishing the building.<\/p>\n

By the time the auction began, Stacey had changed her mind about the money<\/a>, having been told by Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) that Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) desperately needed to pay people off.<\/p>\n

With Kat out of the running, the auction continued, though Mo and Jean Slater (Laila Morse and Gillian Wright) did everything they could to delay proceedings.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, having been talked round by Jean, Stacey paid Kat a visit and revealed that she was giving her the money after all.<\/p>\n

As Kat and Stacey raced across the Square to the Vic, the auction attendees flooded out, after Jean set off the fire alarm in a bid to prevent a developer from buying the pub.<\/p>\n

Having learnt that Kat was back on board, Linda decided to pull out of the auction altogether, instead accepting Kat\u2019s offer.<\/p>\n

With the future of the Queen Vic secured, and Kat having agreed to a house swap, Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe) suggested that Linda and Johnny Carter<\/a> (Charlie Suff<\/a>) take some time away from Walford.<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t take long to persuade them to accept the cruise, much to the disappointment of Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy), who believed she was taking the holiday.<\/p>\n

By the time they get back, will their living situation be sorted, or is there more drama ahead?<\/p>\n
