Whitney Dean made an unexpected discovery in Monday's episode of EastEnders - she was pregnant. This came as a shock for Whitney and her partner Zack, who earlier this year had decided to become foster parents after the death of their daughter Peach, who had Edwards’ Syndrome. The couple had gone through the process of being approved by social services and had recently welcomed a young boy called Ashton into their flat.
However, it soon became apparent that fostering wasn't going to be easy, especially when the events of Christmas night left Ashton frightened and unable to settle. Zack had made a breakthrough after building a den for Ashton, and soon the pair were painting together while Whitney baked cookies. But in recent scenes, Whitney was left disappointed after learning that Ashton was being moved out of their care.
Zack had pointed out that this was a good thing, as social services had found him a permanent home, and that they would have to get used to seeing children pass through their doors. However, the pressure was becoming overwhelming for Zack, as he wondered what it would be like saying goodbye to a foster child in his care for longer than little Ashton.
Meanwhile, as the Walford residents counted down to midnight and the start of 2024, Whitney was at home staring at a pregnancy test, which confirmed she was at least four weeks pregnant. This unexpected twist has left Whitney and Zack in a precarious situation, as they had only just started their fostering journey.
