EASTENDERS fans have savaged Whitney Dean’s exit as the show’s worst ever. The new mum - who is played by actress Shona McGarty in the BBC soap - left Walford tonight on the bus for a new life in Wakefield. Viewers know she had been devastated to discover Zack Hudson cheated on her on her wedding day and furiously called the whole thing off.
She told Zack: “It’s OK that you didn’t love me enough. Maybe I didn’t love you enough either, because if I did then maybe I wouldn’t have lied to you about Britney? “I feel that love for Peach, we both do. But do you think maybe that love and that pain kept us together for longer than it should have.
“It gave us Dolly though and I’ll never regret the time we had together but it’s over.” “I’m sorry I hurt you,” he told her. “Me too,” she replied.
“But it’s done now isn’t it and there’s no going back. I actually feel quite free.” She promised Zack would be able to see Dolly as much as he wanted and they left things on relatively good terms - except for Zack exposing Bianca’s role in their break-up.
A furious Whitney told Bianca she wouldn’t be coming with her and left her sobbing in the flat. And then she went to the Vic for a goodbye party and a brief slide show. Having said goodbye to Callum, Linda, Chelsea and her wider family, Whitney packed up Britney and Dolly and left the pub.
Outside Stacey and Bernie arrived to say goodbye to her as Whitney insisted on getting the bus to her new life.
