Grieving Whitney falls apart and Suki has a plan in EastEnders

There are heartbreaking goodbyes in EastEnders next week as Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) and Zack Hudson (James Farrar) face the most painful thing a parent could endure.

As Whitney falls apart with grief, the opportunity to say goodbye to their lost baby Peach thrusts turmoil on them.

But will Zack end up attending alone as Whitney can’t face it?

Meanwhile, Ash Panesar (Gurlaine Kaur Garcha) is all set to leave Albert Square, which forces Suki (Balvinder Sopal) to form a risky plan that leaves her at risk from unpredictable husband Nish (Navin Chowdhry).

Will it pay off – or is he set to discover her fresh secret?

In other developments, a new promotion for Callum Highway (Tony Clay) leads him straight into an investigation for Jack Branning against Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara).
