EastEnders: Whitney’s Secret Exposed
In recent episodes of EastEnders, Whitney Dean, played by Shona McGarty, has been harbouring a shocking secret—an illegal fostering arrangement with a troubled teen named Britney Wainwright. Whitney, who is pregnant, has been fostering Britney without the knowledge of social services, and in this episode the deception is uncovered.
Whitney first encountered Britney in Milton Keynes while visiting Bianca Jackson. She quickly recognised Britney’s neglect and took her under her wing, but her partner, Zack Hudson, was against the idea of fostering. Whitney’s determination to help Britney led to a rift between her and Zack, who returned to Walford alone.
Upon Whitney’s return to Walford with Britney, tensions escalated. Zack was furious that Whitney had kept him in the dark, and the situation was further complicated by Zack’s attempt to kiss Whitney’s best friend, Lauren Branning.
As Whitney tried to navigate her relationship with Zack and care for Britney, she found herself in a difficult position. She intercepted Britney secretly discarding her sheets after wetting the bed and discovered food hidden under Britney’s bed, indicating potential eating disorders.
Lauren, who had overheard a phone call between Whitney and a social worker, presses Whitney to reveal the truth. Whitney eventually confesses that she has paid Britney’s mother, Keeley, to take Britney off her hands, and that they are not legally fostering her.
Lauren, horrified by the revelation, urges Whitney to come clean to Zack. With her lies exposed and her exit from the show imminent, Whitney is at a crossroads.
The storyline has sparked intense discussions among viewers, including ourselves, surely there is going to be a potential DNA twist that could reveal a connection between Britney and a Walford resident.
