EastEnders fans know Whitney is awaiting an appearance in court for the murder of Leo King, who she killed in self-defence.
Leo was the son of Whitney’s childhood abuser and had made it his life’s mission to avenge his father Tony by ruining Whitney’s life.
Viewers watched in horror as his creepy behaviour came to an explosive head when he pounced at Whit with a knife after watching her from the attic above her bedroom.
But the brute ended up falling on his own knife and left Whitney in the firing line for his death.
Whitney has been released on bail and is back in the Square but was immediately hounded by Leo’s mum Michaela, who blames her for her son’s death and has been slandering her online.
Fans were in shock when Michaela abducted Whitney at knife point and threatened to slit her throat if she made a sound.
It all kicked off when Gray then realised that Whitney disappeared off the face of the earth.
Sonia then found a letter making her think that Whitney had done a runner and fled the country.
But little did they know that Whitney was in Michaela’s evil clutches.

Most recently, Gray was quick to spring to Whitney’s side when he spotted Leo’s mum verbally abusing her in the pub.
But the suave character is hiding the dark secret that he regularly abuses his wife Chantelle behind closed doors – and has even broken her arm – and fans aren’t keen on the prospect of him further ruining poor Whit’s life.
Viewers have also expressed their fears that Whitney will defend abusive Gray when Whitney finally exposes him.
