Former EastEnders star reflects on possibility of returning to long-running soap after 16 years away.
Shona McGarty, known for her iconic role as Whitney Dean on the popular soap opera EastEnders, recently discussed the possibility of returning to the show. Fans will be pleased to hear that the actress is open to reprising her role as Whitney, despite her emotional departure earlier this year after a 16-year run.

In her last appearance on the show, Whitney was heartbroken after discovering her boyfriend Zack Hudson had cheated on her with her best friend Lauren Branning. She left the Square with her daughter Britney Wainwright and newborn baby Dolly, riding off on a bus with the potential for a future return.

When asked about the possibility of returning, Shona shared her enthusiasm for the idea, stating, "I would absolutely go back to EastEnders. It's 16 years of creating a family, I grew up on that show." She also mentioned her good relationship with the show and the open door for her to return, although nothing has been confirmed yet.

With the show's 40th anniversary approaching, Shona expressed her interest in being a part of the celebration if she was invited back. For soap fans looking for the latest spoilers and gossip, Shona also shared a link to join Metro's WhatsApp Soaps community, where they can get access to exclusive content and interviews.

If Whitney does make a comeback, it would be a dramatic one as her on-screen mother, Bianca Jackson, is currently being held captive in a storage unit by Reiss Colwell. Shona commented on this intense storyline, saying, "It's mad, poor Bianca, I feel as Whitney I should go and rescue her. Whitney would get her out!" With plenty of potential for drama and excitement, fans will have to wait and see if Shona does indeed return as Whitney on EastEnders.
