Fearful she may be pregnant with Reiss Colwell’s child, Sonia Fowler is stuck in a whirlwind of emotions next week on BBC One.

Thankfully for her, the nurse played by Natalie Cassidy finds support in the form of Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) who is determined to support her.

However, Sonia has no clue Reiss is convinced she has cheated on him.

The couple are at loggerheads over children in upcoming scenes of the London-based drama with Whitney standing on the side-lines, supporting Sonia.

But with her friend facing potential baby drama and her daughter Peach’s due date fast approaching, Whitney and her partner Zack Hudson (portrayed by James Farrar) soon bring up the topic of building a family together back on the table.

It all begins when Zack gets good news – his viral load is undetectable.

As he and Whitney spend time at their daughter’s tree, planted in Martin Fowler’s allotment to remember her by, Zack is prompted to suggest they could try for another baby.

Sadly, Whitney breaks his heart when she later reveals she can never put her body through that again and doesn’t want to try for another baby. 

Whitney and Zack have a difficult conversation about their future and children – could it leave them going their separate ways?

Soon enough, Chelsea Fox (Zaraah Abrahams) gets involves and advises her devastated pal Whitney to keep talking to Zack to save their relationship.

But when she speaks to him, it’s clear Zack thinks they are too far apart on this issue.

Regular viewers of the London-based drama will remember that, earlier this year, Whitney learned that she was pregnant with Zack’s child.

Things appeared to look up for the couple – until the unborn baby was diagnosed with Edwards’ syndrome.

Whitney was forced to terminate her pregnancy in heartbreaking scenes and named her daughter Peach before burying her ashes under a peach tree in Martin Fowler’s allotment.

Zack later made it clear he was adamant on building a family with her but Whitney maintained she needed time before thinking about it.

Will Whitney and Zack find an agreement?

Is it really over?

EastEnders airs from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
