SHE SEEMS READY TO GIVE UP HER FUTURE IN WALFORD…
First with the week’s HOTTEST headlines
Hot THIS WEEK !
Whitney is reunited with stepmum Bianca this week – but a neardeath experience leaves her questioning her entire future!
The drama unfolds over a five-week period in Milton Keynes, during which Whitney and Zack meet a troubled girl named Britney. While helping the teen, pregnant Whit is knocked down by a car, and what happens next could change the course of her life.
EastEnders’ Shona McGarty talks us through a dramatic week for Whitney, and reveals what it was like to be reunited with co-star Patsy Palmer…
Hi, Shona! Can you set the scene for this special week?
The first episode is going to cover five weeks of storyline, as we see what’s happened to Whitney while she’s been away from the Square, visiting Bianca in Milton Keynes…
Bianca is thrilled about the pregnancy, but Whit wants to keep it from Sonia…
Whitney doesn’t want Sonia to know about the pregnancy because when Sonia had a negative pregnancy test at the start of the year, Whitney was expecting at that time and didn’t tell her. Sonia is so desperate for a baby, and Whitney feels incredibly guilty about getting pregnant naturally while Sonia is going through IVF. She just wants Sonia to be happy, and she feels really bad.
Whitney meets a girl called Britney. Why is she so worried about her?
Britney is a young girl who lives on Bianca’s estate with her mum Keeley. Keeley hasn’t been looking after her, and Whitney feels incredibly sorry for her. She tries to help her, and wants to take her under her wing. Britney reminds Whit of herself at that age.
Whitney reaches out to Britney’s school – what does she discover?
Whitney finds out that Britney’s mum has been sent so many letters about her attendance, and that Britney hasn’t actually gone to school for a long time. So Whitney is quite angry about that and wants to help.
It’s during a showdown with Keeley that Whitney ends up being hit by a car! What happens, exactly?
Keeley, Whitney, Bianca, Zack and Sonia all go head-to-head, but Britney gets caught in the middle and ends up running away. Whitney runs after Britney because she wants to look after her and make sure she’s safe; Britney and Whit have a heart-to-heart, but it all ends in tears. It’s chaos!
