Scandal as drunk Zack cheats with EastEnders legend
Zack returns to the square without Whitney
Zack Hudson (James Farrar) is to betray girlfriend Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) in upcoming EastEnders scenes as he returns from Milton Keynes without her.
The couple have recently discovered that Whitney has fallen pregnant again, after losing their daughter Peach last year.
When the couple head to her adoptive mum Bianca’s (Patsy Palmer) house next week, Whitney quickly becomes wrapped up in the life of local teen Britney (Lola Campbell) who is being neglected by her mum Keeley.
When Whitney discovers that the girl is going hungry and hasn’t attended school for the last four years, she has a confrontation with her mother that results in Britney fleeing.

When Whitney chases after her, a car comes speeding around the corner, knocking her unconscious.
After recovering in hospital, she’s given a huge ultimatum when Keeley says if she really cared for Britney, she’d take her off her hands.
Thinking his girlfriend should focus on her true family and life in Albert Square, Zack heads home and has a heart to heart with Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa).
Spilling everything about the accident and Whitney’s pregnancy, Zack heads to the Vic and drowns his sorrows.
Concerned about the mess he’s found himself in, Lauren drags him away from the pub and offers to help him sober up.
However, in a huge error of judgement, he misreads the situation and leads in for a kiss.
Will news of his cheating reach Milton Keynes, and how will Whitney feel when she finds out?
