Family at war
Linda's pregnancy storyline comes just as she is trying to persuade her daughter Nancy not to go through with her appointment to be sterilised.
Nancy has decided that she doesn't want to have a family in the future, so has booked an appointment with a Harley Street doctor.
But it was while Linda was meddling with her daughter's business at the doctors that she felt faint and got checked over.
Nancy was fuming that her mum would cancel her operation without telling her and the pair fell out once again.
However, Linda soon had bigger things to worry about when she broke the news to Mick that she is pregnant.
Mick was initially excited about having a younger sibling for their son Ollie.
However, his happiness was short-lived when Linda revealed how pregnant she is.
The news that Linda is already five months into her pregnancy hit Mick hard... but where does this leave their marriage that they've so recently rebuilt?
