Birth emergency for missing Whitney as she fears baby tragedy will repeat in EastEnders
Whitney is to give birth at the sten-do
Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) fears the worst for her baby in upcoming EastEnders scenes as her waters break in the back of the taco van.
This, of course, brings back memories of losing her daughter Peach in March of last year when she discovered that she had Edwards syndrome.
Deciding to terminate the pregnancy, she and boyfriend Zack (James Farrer) scattered her ashes at the allotment.
During the follow year they took in a number of foster children, and in recent months she learnt that she was pregnant again.

However, in a huge twist, and against Zack’s wishes, she paid a sum of money to one of Bianca Jackson’s (Patsy Palmer) neighbours in exchange for her neglected daughter Britney (Lola Campbell).
Upon finding out what Whit had done, Zack drowned his sorrows in Peggy’s and ended up sleeping with her best pal Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa).
In a huge twist, Whitney proposed to him last week, unaware of his cheating.
Next week, she finds out that her mum let Britney steal items from the market for the wedding preparations and relinquishes her duties as maid of honour and cuts ties with her.
Lauren arrives at No. 3B and saves the day by sourcing a new hen outfit but is left consumed with guilt when she’s asked to assume Bianca’s position in the wedding day.
At the joint hen and stag do, the residents dress up to celebrate and its clear that Whitney has no intentions of making amends any time soon.
Wanting to avoid being caught in the crossfire again, Bianca deals Lauren an ultimatum – she has to tell Whit that she slept with Zack, or she will.
Penny Branning (Kitty Castledine) swoops in and lures the women to the taco van under false pretences, locking them in until they resolve their differences.
Will Lauren confess everything?
Things go from bad to worse when Whitney’s waters break and their cries for help go unnoticed.
Lauren goes to call Zack, but realises her phone has ran out of battery. Not only that, but he’s enjoying himself too much at the party!
Will the women be found before Whitney gives birth?
