EastEnders viewers were treated to a nostalgic moment as Whitney Dean bid farewell to Walford in her final scenes. After 16 years on the show, Whitney decided it was time for a fresh start following the betrayal of her best friend Lauren Branning and fiancé Zack Hudson. The shocking revelation came to light when Britney Wainwright overheard their secret conversation and spilled the beans at Whitney and Zack’s wedding. Devastated by the betrayal, Whitney made the decision to leave with her daughter Dolly and Britney to stay with Ryan Malloy in Wakefield. As she boarded the bus to Kings Cross Station, fans may have noticed a subtle reference to Whitney’s first appearance on the show.
In a nod to her debut in 2008, Whitney was seen wearing the iconic hat that became synonymous with her character. The throwback fashion choice, along with the hooped earrings, paid homage to Whitney’s early days on EastEnders. The Y2K trend, which is currently making a comeback in the fashion world, was perfectly captured in Britney’s outfit.
Unfortunately, Bianca Jackson, who was a key character in Whitney’s storyline, was absent from the emotional farewell. It was revealed that Bianca had prior knowledge of Lauren and Zack’s betrayal, causing a rift between her and Whitney. Despite initially planning to move with Whitney, Bianca was left heartbroken when Whitney decided she couldn’t trust her anymore. Will their relationship ever be repaired?
