Eastenders’ Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) has been through the works recently, what with her stalking and emotional abuse ordeal by paeodophile Tony King’s (Chris Coghill) son Leo King (Tom Wells). But after the villain was pushed over a balcony by Kush Kazemi (Davood Ghadami) in an act of heroism, will Whitney end up making a dark choice in order to save her friend?
It’s been a turbulent few weeks on the BBC soap, leading up to an epic showdown between Kush and Leo, that went down on Monday night.
Following the paralegal’s sinister obsession with the fashionista made worse as Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) using her logbook as evidence to arrest him, Leo had it out for Whitney once and for all.
Cornering her on a balcony of The Prince Albert, he revealed that he was able to talk his way out of the charge and threatened that the police wouldn’t trust her as a reliable source.
But viewers watched as Kush swooped in to rescue her, after stumbling on the encounter where Leo had Whitney in a tight hold.
