EastEnders shock affair ‘exposed’ for Zack amid Whitney exit – but not with Lauren
EastEnders viewers are fearing an affair is on the cards for Zack and another shock Walford resident as his relationship with Whitney takes a turn for the worse
EastEnders fans are certain Zack is going to end up having an affair on the soap – but not with Lauren Branning.
The character recently returned to Walford after spending five weeks in Milton Keynes with pregnant Whitney to visit Bianca Jackson (Patsy Palmer). However, during their time their things took a dramatic turn.
Whitney befriended a trouble youngster, Britney, from Bianca’s estate. It was then revealed that she had a drug and booze-addicted mum with a vile dodgy partner.
Whitney was left heartbroken at the revelation, remembering her own childhood that led her to an abusive upbringing and being groomed. In a bid to help, she told Britney she wouldn’t abandon her and let her down.
Whitney then told him how she wanted them to adopt Britney – but Zack didn’t want to. This led to Zack storming off back to the square – leaving Whitney in Milton Keynes with Britney.
Since then, things haven’t been too good for Whitney and Zach. And during Wednesday’s episode (March 5) Zach ended up getting himself drunk to drown his sorrows.
Lauren’s cousin Penny was on hand to provide the booze, and at one point she cheekily suggested they head back to hers. However, in a surprise twist at the end of the episode Zack ended up nearly kissing Lauren after having a heart-to-heart.
After seeing Zack drunk, Lauren attempted to sober him up. She then shared some kinds words with Zack, but he misread the situation and tried to kiss Lauren. Horrified by what had happened, Lauren pushed hum off and ran off.
And in another blow to the character, Whitney then called him up. Now fans are certain Zack will have a fling with Penny.
Reacting to the surprise kiss, someone on an EastEnders fan Facebook page wrote: “I can see a relationship happening with Zack and Lauren.”
Someone else added: “I thought penny after watching tonight.” A third penned: “Zack is 100% gonna cheat on whit w penny.” Another chimed in and said: “Glad Lauren and Penny are getting screentime again, a good storyline for both soon I hope.”
