Whitney Dean learns the devastating truth about cheating Zack on her wedding day
Whitney Dean and Zack Hudson are blissed out as they snuggle with their newborn daughter Dolly.
When Bianca Jackson brings their foster daughter Britney Wainwright back home, Zack's stomach sinks.
Fearing Britney will spill the beans about his secret hook-up with Lauren Branning, he takes Britney aside and begs her to forget what she overheard for the sake of the family.
When Whitney notices Britney's quiet mood, she raises her concerns with Zack, who deflects from the real reason by suggesting she's upset that they cancelled the wedding.
Although baby Dolly's surprise arrival ruined their wedding plans - in the nicest way possible - Whitney realises that it's not too late to go ahead with the ceremony, as they haven't had time to cancel.
The excited bride asks Lauren to help her get ready, not noticing that her friend is struggling to contain her guilt over betraying her.
Meanwhile, Britney is increasingly uncomfortable keeping Zack's dirty little secret after Lily Slater reveals Whitney's troubled romantic past...
At the venue, a radiant Whitney walks down the aisle with her baby daughter and Britney joins a waiting Zack. As the couple say their vows, Britney can't contain herself any longer and blurts out that Zack slept with Lauren!
Anna Knight is keen to see more of her half-brother Junior Knight now that he's tentatively made contact again with the family. She reaches out to him and asks him to spend time with her and sister Gina Knight.
The three siblings try to get to know each other as it's been a long time since they've had a chance to bond. Things are still awkward between Junior and dad George Knight, however, and when George walks in to see them looking cosy together, he feels pushed out.
Junior has been keeping a big secret from the Knights and they're in for a massive surprise when the mysterious Monique and her son Xavier turn up... Monique introduces herself as Junior's wife!
Also, there's a surprise in store for the Slaters when two suspected 'burglars' break into the house... It's Big Mo Harris with Freddie Slater!

In front of the hushed congregation, Whitney tries to process what Britney has just revealed. Will Zack try to worm his way out of the situation or is their love story over forever?
Back in the Vic, a miserable Lauren slinks in with sister Penny Branning and does her best to hide from the major shade that's being thrown her way.

After a recent visit from Stacey's mum Jean Slater, Freddie and great-grandma Big Mo Harris have made their way back to Walford but Freddie soon finds out that things are not as they were...
Before he left, he was flat-sharing with former uncle Alfie Moon but he's shocked to discover that Alfie's ex, his aunt Kat Slater, is living with Alfie, along with their kids.
Realising that Freddie feels sidelined, Kat feels bad. She's also had quite enough of the family insinuating that she and Alfie are item despite her constant denials.
Freddie is grateful when Kat announces she's moving back into the Slater house so he can have his old room back.

Thursday
Bianca Jackson struggles in the wake of the wedding revelations
Bianca Jackson has been away from the Square for five years but she's certainly made an impression since her return, going through the Square like a whirlwind!
After things went south for her in Milton Keynes following her split from long-term partner Terry Spraggan, Bianca followed stepdaughter Whitney Dean back to Walford.
She surprised sister Sonia Fowler by arriving in a clapped-out old Taco van!
Fiercely protective of Whit, when she found out that fiance Zack Hudson had a secret hook-up with Lauren Branning, she was fuming.
Instead of telling Whitney right away, she used the knowledge to her advantage to blackmail Zack into ensuring that foster daughter Britney Wainwright would be allowed to stay with him and Whitney.
Britney's future had looked uncertain after it came out that Whitney had paid her druggy mum Kerry to take her away.
The Usher Syndrome sufferer was nearly taken away by social services until Bianca's blackmail resulted in Zack tracking down Kerry to inform the social that she was happy with the arrangement.
There was trouble between Bianca and Whitney when she found out that Bianca had turned a blind eye to Britney stealing when they were tasked with getting together a few things for Whitney's wedding to Zack.
A furious Whitney dumped Bianca as Maid of Honour and asked Lauren instead.
Wanting to do the right thing by Whit, Bianca insisted that Lauren confess her fling with Zack. She was on the verge of doing it when Whitney went into labour with baby Dolly so the words were never said.
Now that the truth is out about Lauren sleeping with Zack, Bianca is in a bit of a predicament.
Feeling jumpy, she ends up having a huge row with Vinny Panesar at the cafe, causing even more of a ruckus.
Will Whitney realise that Bianca knew all along about Zack's dalliance with Lauren and could it ruin their relationship for good?
