Zack Hudson has had a tough year, to say the least. His partner, Whitney Dean, left Walford and their happy life together crumbled due to his infidelity with Lauren Branning. It was a messy situation, and Whit decided that she didn't need a man in her life, so she left Albert Square with their baby, Dolly, and adopted daughter, Britney. So, Zack has been left to pick up the pieces and adjust to life on his own.
But it's not just Zack who has been affected by Whitney's departure. Actor James Farrar, who plays Zack, has also felt the void of Whitney's absence on the set of BBC One's hit soap, EastEnders. In an interview at this year's Inside Soap Awards, he shared, "It's been hard without her, because you've lost your mate every day!" It's clear that the bond between James and his co-star, Shona McGarty, who plays Whitney, is a special one.
But life goes on, and James has teased an exciting new storyline for Zack. "I'm working more with the boys now, which is fantastic. I've got Aaron and James, who are my best mates. No relationship as of yet, of course, but I think that may be the natural progression. However, the next storyline isn't about that!" he revealed. He couldn't give away too much, but he did hint that the storyline is "clever" and that only a few people know the details, including the press team, his wife, and his co-star, Aaron.
Speaking of exciting things happening on EastEnders, the upcoming live episode for the show's 40th anniversary is on everyone's minds. James shared his enthusiasm, saying, "I'm excited! I want to be front and centre!" It's a big event for the show, and fans can't wait to see what will happen.
