Whitney returned to EastEnders
Zack was surprised to get a call while helping Kat and Alfie get ready for Vicki and Ross’s wedding. He dashed out, claiming he had to take it.
While he kept the caller’s identity to himself, Zack asked for some time off and left with a spring in his step.
However, it was later revealed that Whitney had been the one calling Zack to ask him to meet for lunch.
As George and Eddie went for lunch in Knight Fusion, George had to dash off after hearing Ivy had a temperature. He left a very annoyed Gina to take Eddie home. And, as they left, Zack and Whitney were revealed to be sitting behind them.
Whitney’s return was a heavily guarded secret, meaning fans got a huge shock when she was spotted. And soon the reason for her return was revealed.
Whitney showed Zack photos of their two-year-old daughter, Dolly, and their foster daughter, Britney. But she was then left stunned when he asked her if she was happy raising the girls on her own.
Despite Whitney claiming that she was happy, Zack asked her to come back to Walford so they could be a family again. Whintey begged him not to make things difficult and revealed that she had met someone else.
The news hit Zack like a brick. And, with his dreams of having his family around him shattered, Whitney’s news is set to have a shocking knock-on effect in EastEnders.
