ZACK Hudson has been given second thoughts about life with pregnant Whitney Dean in EastEnders.
The chef – who is played by actor James Farrar in the BBC soap – is expecting a baby with Whitney, but walked away for a break after she risked the life of the baby for the neglected child of a neighbour.
Back in Walford Zack made a drunken pass at Whitney’s pal Lauren Branning – that led her to tell him to confess all or she would.
Confiding in Ravi, Zack realised he had to confess before Lauren dobbed him in.
Meanwhile Lauren confided in Penny who made her realise that it wasn’t quite as serous as she was taking it.
And before Zack could head off to Milton Keynes to confess all to Whitney, Lauren stopped him.
She said: “You don’t need to tell her, you don’t need to go running back to Milton Keynes, I’m not going to say anything.
“But that doesn’t mean you’re off the hook. It just means I don’t want to upset my very pregnant friend over some drunken mistake.
“If I hear anything about you around any other girls again, dry rub or not. I mean it, I will tell her everything.”
A relieved Zack told her: “You’re going to have to take my word for it. I’m a good guy. You said it yourself. Thank you.”
But as Zack opened up about how he needed Whitney and the baby – and would agree to foster Britney to do it, Lauren had another change of heart.
Pointing out that Whitney now comes as a package deal with Britney and that the youngster deserves more than a man making do with her being there, Lauren got to Zack.
She added: “You and Whit bonded over all of this really traumatic stuff, and now you’ve got this baby. I get that.
“But I just feel like it seems you don’t even want the same things. There’s a little girl at stake here.
“Before you rush in and commit to anything else, you just really need to think about it.
“Is all this just going to end in tears for all of you?”
Zack looked heartbroken by the realisation but is this the end of him and Whitney?
