When Linda Carter took friend Honey to her school reunion in January 2026, she had no idea the nightmare that will follow! Old school rival Bea Pollard claimed Linda had bullied her in school – and made Linda question her childhood memories. But Bea was one for attention.

Within a day of reuniting with her, she was staying in Peacock Palace, driving Elaine Peacock crazy. She then latched onto the one person who would have her: Honey took her in as a best friend and everything seemed to be fine, at least when Ian took Bea out and they become something of an ‘item’.

But Bea wasn’t completely stable – far from it. She claimed a credit card in Honey’s name, used AI to convince her that Billy had propositioned her and scammed to put Ian in power with the local politics, slandering Elaine in the process.

Ian caught on to her true nature, but Honey was a lovely lady – who hated to see someone so alone, and genuinely thought Bea living in the same bright part of the world she did. She ignored all her instincts and threw Billy out and, when Bea framed him for her own murder, Honey had to make a stand.

She tricked Bea into coming back to Walford, only to be held prisoner by her in a holiday cottage. Eventually, she returned to Walford and rallied the authorities, who arrived to take Bea into custody, before she went nuts with a knife! Hopefully, somewhere down the rode, this former resident will get the help she so obviously needs.
