The scene depicted Linda - the character played by Kellie - being attacked during a robbery at the Queen Vic.
However, since it was filmed amid the Covid pandemic, stringent social distancing measures were implemented. To maintain realism in the scene, Paul was enlisted to portray one of the thugs, allowing for physical interaction with Kellie.
Earlier this year, in February, a glimpse into the future revealed that a yet-to-be-identified male character would meet his demise at The Queen Vic during the Christmas season.
In the intense Christmas Day episode, the revelation unfolded that Linda turned out to be the mystery murderer.
Last night, Keanu Taylor was brutally stabbed as he tried to kill Sharon Watts while Nish Panesar was bottled over the head.
Horrified that Sharon prevented him from seeing Albie, he attempted to strangle her as The Six intervened.
In an attempt to stop him, Linda Carter seized a knife and fatally stabbed him, leaving his lifeless body on the floor.
