Are we heading for a Linda and Nancy queendom in EastEnders?
They seem to be the most popular of the new carters and I suspect the most durable in it for the longhaul of all the Carter characters/actors.
With them being at the helm of The Vic are we destined for a joint Nancy Linda queendom? |

They need to get Shirley out of the vic and ensure Linda becomes friends with a lit of the regulars before she can become queen.

I wouldn't say they're any more popular than Mick or Johnny but it's hard to assess things like that as it's impossible to know the general mood of the casual soap viewing public. Certainly on here they've become more popular recently but then they've had the benefit (if you can call it a benefit) of being relatively underused compared to other characters on the show. Generally speaking, as soon as a character is giving a challenging storyline that tests their moral compass, they will usually become more criticised (as well as, on the other side of the coin, more passionately defended.)
In any case, what I like about the Carters is that the core four of them work so well together - none of them are superior to the others and the four actors have absolutely brilliant chemistry. They're all soap royalty as far as I'm concerned.

There is only one Queen and her name is Stacey. When she returns everyone will be kissing her feet while Lacey once again reigns supreme over all the award shows.

Much as I love Nancy it's the Linda/Shirley relationship that is the most fun....throw in Dean and Mick and you get the potential for some great drama.

Just axe Shirley! Then the Carter family will continue on going from strength to strength.
It says a lot about her character when the best scenes that involve the Carter family, Shirley is nowhere to be seen. |

I just feel that these two have longevity written all over them and I can see them especially Kellie staying with the show much longer than the others.

I respectfully disagree. I think Shirley is brilliant with the Carters, though obviously Linda, Mick and the kids are a family, Tina and Tosh are together and so really Shirley ought to have a partner with Dean and Mick alongside her.

I agree completely! I know Shirley has many, many, many failings but I think she's a great character and I like how she's still quite douchey still even though her family have arrived. it would have been ridiculous for them to have turned her into a saint

I do think Kellie and Maddie are the strongest actors in the Carter clan main family.
