Linda grabbed a bottle in secret, hiding from her son Johnny (Charlie Suff), and viewers saw a resemblance from scenes aired in the 1980's.
Angie did the same thing, reaching for glass of vodka behind her husband Den Watts' back. One show follower uploaded a side-by-side comparison on X, formally Twitter , and now fans can't unsee the similarities. "'I'm worried sick about her, Kathy.

interesting!" One replied: "OMG I DIDN.
