In tonight’s episode of EastEnders (Monday, March 4), Whitney went to visit Bianca with Zack accompanying her for a five week stay.

EastEnders: Whitney was hit by a car
Tonight’s episode of EastEnders was a special one as it showed Whitney and Zack’s time at Bianca’s play out over the course of five weeks.
Telling Bianca that she’s pregnant, Whitney then became concerned about a local child called Britney.
After seeing her rummage through the bins for food, Whitney had a word with her drug addict mum – Keeley.
Realising that Britney hadn’t attended school since 2020, Whitney confronted Keeley but was soon told to back away.
Worried, Britney then ran off but was caught up with by Whit. As a speeding car approached the young girl, Whitney pushed her out of the way but ended up getting hit by the car.
Sonia, Zack and Bianca all ran up to a half-conscious Whitney in a bid to help her and her unborn baby. But, will Whit survive this?

After a trip to the hospital this week, Whitney will find out that her baby is fine. However, she can’t help but be drawn to Britney despite everything that’s happened.
When Keeley suggests that Whitney takes care of her daughter, Whit has food for thought. But, will she bring Britney back to Walford with her and raise her as her own?
