EastEnders: Fans Turn Up to Bid Farewell!
Despite the emotional day of filming, Shona McGarty took time to mingle with her fans. She snapped pics, scribbled autographs, and even recorded sweet video messages to their fans. The Eastenders legend totally lit up everyone’s day! But back in the soap world, it’s a whole different story. Whitney’s departure from the BBC One soap will legit be a nail-biter, thanks to her recent escapades on the Square.
The character visited Milton Keynes with Zack to meet Bianca after her split on EastEnders. There, she befriended a troubled local teenager named Britney Wainwright, summoning all the possible chaos out there! Subsequently, she ended up taking Britney under her wing. However, Zack wasn’t so keen on the idea as he was preoccupied with their impending baby. Their argument over the teenager led to a blowout, and Zack returned to Walford alone.
But Whitney surprised everyone upon arriving in the Square with Britney in tow. Little does Zack know that Whitney paid her mum to take custody. The truth doesn’t stay hidden for long as Lauren rumbles the whole deal. The best friend even warned Whitney to tell Zack everything, but would she? Additionally, EastEnders fans just wonder whether Whitney’s exit spells the end for her and Zack’s relationship.
Anyway, James Farrar (Zack Hudson) confessed to needing to ‘heal his heart’ after Shona’s exit. “She’s the kindest, calmest, most lovely human being going,” James gushed. The actor hinted at the emotional toll of Shona leaving the soap in the wake of their close bond. Couldn’t have said it better, James! Her departure is definitely going to hit us hard! Do you agree?
