EastEnders spoilers: New romance for Whitney Dean as she makes shock discovery
MONTHS have passed since Kush Kazemi's death but Whitney Dean is still single.
Yet when she makes a discovery about Zack Hudson, the EastEnders character played by Shona McGarty reflects on her love life.
BBC One viewers were given a nasty shock in April, 2021, when serial killer Gray Atkins killed Kush Kazemi in a brutal attempt to keep Whitney close to him.
Since her fiancé's death, Whitney focused on shedding light on Gray's crimes after a brief romance with the murderer and finding out he had murdered his first bride Chantelle.
When Gray was eventually arrested and thrown behind bars, Whitney became a constant source of support for his second wife Chelsea Fox, and even moved in with her.
But she has yet to find another person who she could develop a romantic bond with.
