EastEnders fans know that Whitney has been through hell over the past few weeks after accidentally killing her stalker Leo King.

She has been released from prison on bail after being arrested for his murder but is terrified of the outcome of her upcoming trial. 

Fans have watched Whitney grow closer to her lawyer Gray as he’s gone to great lengths to find evidence proving she acted in self-defence. 

He was thrilled in March when he stumbled across evidence that Leo had been hiding in the attic room above Whitney and watching her from a peep hole.

EastEnders fans are convinced that Whitney and Gray are going to embark on an affair after they spotted tension brewing between the pair. 

But actor Toby-Alexander Smith – who plays Gray on the show – told Radio Times that Gray wants his relationship with Whitney to stay strictly professional: “Gray is totally caught off guard by the kiss. It definitely wasn’t part of the plan! It will certainly add a new element to the case that he wasn’t prepared for.

“At this stage, Gray doesn’t have any feelings towards Whitney whatsoever. His main agenda is to try and keep her calm and encourage her to stay positive and not panic.

“I do think he’s been helping her from a predominantly good place, but I don’t think he’s expecting any sort of emotional connection to happen with Whitney. It’s strictly professional.”
