If it is written well and researched it will be a good storyline for Eastenders.

Its good that it the Whitney and the Jackson its happening to.

Whitney reminds me alot of Demi (another great child character)

As Whitney is friends with Lucy it might make her realise how good she has got it and pull herself in line

Since Morgan is coloured i'm assuming Tony is coloured

one thing i do remember about Whitney, was when she wanted to buy Wellard off Mickey. she didn't have any money and she seemed to suggest something sexual to Mickey and started unbuttoning her top or something and Mickey freaked out. i thought that was a really awkward and strange scene that seems to somehow fit now.

I'd forgotten that, I wondered what she was playing at at the time but know I kind of get why.

Well this storyline will get some bad reviews and complaints. But as a teacher I know that reality is sometimes worse than any scriptwriter can dream up.
So good on EE for daring to do this.

Former Shameless actor Chris Coghill has joined the cast of EastEnders.

The 34-year-old, who appeared as the character of Craig in the Manchester-based comedy, will play Bianca Jackson's (Patsy Palmer) current partner Tony King and will quickly become embroiled in the East-End soap's recently-announced child sex abuse storyline.

Tony found himself behind bars after being convicted of ABH for attacking a youngster who took a shine to his 15-year-old step-daughter Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty). When he's released from prison, however, his intentions towards her are not all they seem and it becomes evident that he is sexually abusing her. It soon transpires that his maltreatment of her has been going on for some time.

Bianca, however, is oblivious to everything, while Whitney is forced to deal with her situation in silence.

Speaking of his role, Coghill said: "This is the most challenging role I have had to play. But I hope by EastEnders tackling the sensitive issue of child abuse it can raise awareness."

His other acting credits include Holby Blue, Doctors, Hotel Babylon and The Bill.
