Linda was shocked to find a small baby girl left in a box outside Zoe Tate's veterinary surgery. Two days later, after being admitted to hospital with bad haemorrhaging, 13-year-old Emma Cairns admitted to being the mother. The baby caused Linda to become broody. When Biff's father, Ron Hudson, died of Huntington disease and Linda announced that she might be pregnant, Biff admitted to her that his father's disease might be hereditary. Biff's tests for Huntington's disease proved negative. However heartbreak came when Linda miscarried.

Death

On October 16, 1997 to mark Emmerdale`s 25th Anniversary, Linda and other guests were invited to Kim Tate and Steve Marchant engagment party. Linda was already excited about the party at Home Farm. She had even laid her dress out. Biff would rather had gone to the Woolpackers event at the wine bar; he asked how much Linda's dress cost and was horrified to hear that she had spent £120 on it, and they rowed about it. Linda later arrived at the party squashed in her mini with the rest of her family. Biff complained to Steve that he was blocking the parking with his Porsche. He gave Linda the keys so she could move it. Linda was eager to dance as soon as she arrived at the party. Biff was not drinking because he was driving Biff was jealous when Linda waved at Alex as they had lunch that day, and he was still bitter towards Kim. Meanwhile Linda was still dancing and drinking, she even coped, spending time with Chris Tate. When he talked to her, Biff looked on with rage. Then Kim slipped into the bathroom so as not to be noticed she found Alex in there snorting cocaineKim was furious with Alex as she disapproved of drugs, and the fact that Alex spent his money on them. She later decided to cause some trouble and told Alex to go off with Linda for some fun, to which Kim whould later regret. She watched as Biff looked on while Alex asked Linda to dance. Linda and Alex were enjoying themselves so Tara decided to ask Biff to dance, but he snubbed her and barges through Alex and Linda. Alex than suggested that they go outside. Kim watched them disappear. Linda then suggested to Alex that they go for a drive in Steve's porsche, because she has still got the keys. Alex agreeed to drive. Kim saw them leave Linda then suggested to Alex that they go for a drive. Kim smugly told Biff that Linda had gone off with Alex and that he is "a bit of a lad". Biff rushed off. Linda was talking to Alex about Biff. He then pulled over in the car. Biff raced off in the mini. Alex got his cocaine out. Linda was shocked that Alex has taken some drugs and is driving again. He started to touch Linda, but she did not want him to and told him to stop. They then had a fight and Linda screamed just before Alex crashed the car into a tree. Alex was conscious after the crash. He saw that Linda was badly injured and moved her over into the driving seat, kissed her and ran off leaving Linda there to die. She was later proannouced dead on October 21. Biff was trying to wake Linda; Kathy & Doug have stopped their car to help; Doug phoned for an ambulance using his mobile. Alex had sneaked back to Home Farm. The party was still going on. Tara found Alex washing his face in the bathroom at Home Farm ; Linda was taken away in an ambulance. Biff had been breathalysed and is going to drive himself to the hospital; the Glovers leave the party Kim was furious with Alex she told Tara that she caught him taking cocaine. Alex claimed that he left Linda in a layby and that she drove off at speed.They all decide to stick to this story to protect the name of the business. Linda was brought into hospital and was taken straight to the rescucitation room. Biff arrived moments later and was told that he cannot see Linda; the doctor asks about Linda's parents, Ned and Jan, who have arrived home and are in a frisky mood. They think that Biff and Linda must have gone off somewhere and are about to go up to bed when Biff phoned them from the hospital. Biff was feeling bad about the row he and Linda had at the party. He regreted his jealousy. Kathy and Doug tried tocomfort him, but Biff blamed Kim as well for winding him up so that he chased after Linda & Alex. Tara was hurt by Alex`s behaviour, but felt even worse when he tells her what really happened with Linda. Biff is told the terrible news that Linda has died from uncontrollable
internal bleeding caused by a fractured pelvis and an ruptured spleen. Biff is shocked,he cries as he looks at Linda's body. He kissed her and told her that he will always love her.
