Are Whitney and Gray going to have an affair in EastEnders?
Fans know that Whitney has been through hell over the last few weeks as she’s been held captive by her creepy stalker Leo King’s twisted mother Michaela Turnbull.
After her disappearance, Gray realised something was wrong and began to search for her.
Meanwhile, Whitney was left to endure Michaela’s confession that she knew that Tony was abusing her when she was a child – and didn’t do anything to stop it.
Whitney then ranted at Michaela for ruining her life and leading her to choose a string of bad men in the wake of Tony’s abuse.
She raged: “I wouldn’t have met all those blokes who walked all over me because it didn’t stop at Tony, Michaela… All of it, all of it is down to you!”
Michaela then broke down and admitted she blamed herself for Leo’s death, begging Whitney for forgiveness.
At that moment, Gray burst in and saved Whitney from Michaela’s clutches.
Back in the Square later, Whitney begged Gray not to take any further action against Michaela.
Sparks seemed to fly as she stared deep into his eyes, leaving fans convinced that she’d developed a deep attraction to the barrister.
