Zack Hudson makes a big decision after an event leaves him and Whitney Dean in crisis
Zack Hudson is HORRIFIED after watching his pregnant girlfriend Whitney Dean get knocked down by a car.
Whitney's rushed to hospital with Zack, Sonia Fowler and Bianca Jackson by her side. After being checked over, she's sent for an ultrasound to check if her baby is okay.
After Whitney and Zack tragically lost their unborn baby daughter Peach to a fatal genetic condition, the situation is Zack and Whitney's worst nightmare.
The couple are flooded with relief but not only is Whitney given the all clear, the baby is healthy, too.
After returning to Bianca's house following the hospital visit, Whitney and Zack are stunned to see Britney's mum being arrested for drug dealing.
When Whitney finds out that Britney has gone missing, she's terrified for the young girl and insists on going to search for her, despite Bianca imploring Whitney to rest after her ordeal.
Fortunately, Zack finds Britney and calls Whitney to let her know that she's fine. After turning over the young girl to the social worker, Whitney bursts out that she and Zack can care for her until something official is sorted out.
Whitney and Zack are already officially cleared to be foster carers after signing up for the role following Peach's death and Whitney's initial insistence that she didn't want to get pregnant again.
As the words come out of Whitney's mouth, it leaves Zack stunned, as they've not discussed taking in Britney. He can't believe she'd make such a huge decision without checking with him first.
Frustrated by Whitney's actions, Zack insists that he needs to go back to Walford, whether it's with or without her. He's devastated when Whitney insists she's going nowhere.
After watching Zack walk away, Whitney continues her mission to help Britney and she visits Keeley to give her a few home truths.
Keeley is NOT appreciative of Whitney criticising her and her parenting, but Whitney's left stunned when Keeley makes a shocking offer.
Not able to cope with looking after her kids, Keeley tells Whitney that if she really cared about Britney then she'd take her in.
What will Whitney say?

Wandering past Whitney's stall, he sees sisters Lauren Branning and Penny Branning, who are filling in for her. When he stops to chat, he's confronted by Sonia Fowler, who berates him for leaving Whitney behind.
Zack confesses the whole situation to a stunned Lauren, who didn't even know Whitney was pregnant. She can see he's struggling and she offers her support.
When Zack later starts downing drinks in The Vic, a worried Lauren calls Whitney, but she refuses to return home despite Lauren's plea.
Resolving to stop Zack from drinking himself into oblivion, Lauren suggests he get himself some food to soak up the booze and Zack latches on to her concern.

Thursday
Sonia Fowler makes a shocking baby confession to Reiss Colwell
Sonia Fowler has been struggling to keep positive as her IVF journey with boyfriend Reiss Colwell has yet to bless them with the baby they so desperately want.
Although having a baby wasn't on her radar when she first got together with Reiss, after he confessed how much he wanted to be a father, she was completely onboard.
With Reiss's low sperm count, they opted for private IVF, as Sonia wasn't eligible for NHS treatment because she'd already had a daughter, Bex Fowler.
After the initial consultations, Sonia started to get excited about having a family with Reiss and when the first round failed, she was heartbroken.
Recently, she discovered that step niece Whitney Dean is pregnant and has been alarmed at how jealous she feels. Admitting her thoughts to Reiss, she confesses that she feels guilty for her reaction to Whitney's news.
Always one for finding a 'solution' to any problem, Reiss suggests Sonia could start journaling her feelings to help her deal with them. In the past, Reiss's not very helpful suggestions and his habit of fussing over Sonia have left her annoyed and frustrated.
Will this push them further apart?
Cindy Beale knows how cut up ex George Knight is about recent family revelations. George has struggled to share the true terrible story about his adoption with daughters Gina Knight and Anna Knight, as he's not quite got his head round it himself.

An oblivious Gina has booked them all an expensive family holiday in Jamaica to explore their 'roots', and was shocked when George closed it down.
Seeing sense in Cindy's words, George prepares to confess but when Gina pleads with him to agree to a holiday, admitting the flights have cost her five grand, will he keep the news to himself?
Denzel Danes has been struggling with his self image in recent weeks and nasty comments posted about his fitness video have only made him feel worse.
Although Denzel has been going to the gym any opportunity he can get, the teenager is feeling miserable that he still doesn't have the 'perfect' body that he sees online.
After someone commented that he needs to get himself some steroids, Denzel resolved to try them out, despite the obvious dangers.
With Denzel's dad Howie Danes and his girlfriend Kim Fox away working on a cruise ship, he turns to Yolande Trueman, who is caring for him with husband Patrick Trueman while Howie is away.
