Recent weeks have seen her storyline building towards her departure, after pregnant Whitney decided to illegally foster troubled teen, Britney.

Whitney had met her during a trip to Milton Keynes to visit Bianca Jackson, and decided to secretly pay Britney’s addict mother Keeley thousands of pounds to bring her back to Walford with her and Zack Hudson.

Since their return, Whitney has focused more of her attention on Britney than her unborn baby, and has continued to keep Zack in the dark about the true nature of how Britney came to be with them on Albert Square.

However, last week, her lies started to be exposed as Britney lashed out and told Zack Whitney had “stole” her.

It lead the couple to clash and Zack insisted they had to tell social services, but Whitney refused.

She added that if he forced her to choose between him and Britney, he would lose.

In upcoming EastEnders scenes, Zack heads to The Vic to speak to Whitney but the pair are interrupted by Wahida, a mum who is meeting Whitney to share her son’s experience of Usher Syndrome, the same condition Britney has just been diagnosed with.

Later in the week, Whitney has a successful meeting with Britney’s teacher about her Usher Syndrome diagnosis, but Reiss puts his foot in it when he reveals that Whitney is not Britney’s mother.

An oblivious Whitney is shocked when she is greeted by social services who have arrived to take Britney away for her safety until they can corroborate Whitney’s version of events with Keeley.

Whitney is devastated about Britney, and Bianca – who has returned to Walford – and Zack work together to track Keeley down.

Keeley meets them both at Walford East, but things go from bad to worse when Bianca starts criticising Keeley’s parenting and Keeley reasons Britney would be better off elsewhere.

Will Whitney get the chance to reunite with Britney? Or will her plans all come crashing down?
