“What you don’t know is that Whitney…,” Jean added but before she could finish Kush interrupted.
“Whitney is really, really important to all of us, we’ve all seen what she’s been through and that’s why we want to volunteer to be character witnesses for her,” he said.
Throughout the meeting, Jean kept trying to speak about Whitney but was cut off each time as the others feared she would reveal Whitney had run away.
“If you knew what Whitney had been through, you wouldn’t blame her, not at all, not one bit,” Jean added at the end of the meeting.
As the rest of Whitney’s loved ones try and bide time with the lawyers, Jean may be the one to realise Whitney didn’t disappear on her own accord.
EastEnders continues tomorrow on BBC One at 7.30pm.
