EastEnders bosses have shared a series of new images that see Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) in prison after being arrested over Leo King’s death in future episodes.
EastEnders spoilers have revealed Whitney will end up locked up after stabbing tormentor Leo in self-defence.
The first-look photos show Whitney looking hopeless after chatting with her little sister Tiffany (Maisie Smith).
Concerned for her older sister, Tiffany begs solicitor Gray Atkins (Toby-Alexander Smith) to defend Whitney’s case in court.
Despite being reluctant he agrees to do.

But the pressure of the case makes him lose his temper at his children Mia and McKenzie, which leaves wife Chantelle (Jessica Plummer) worried.
Whitney doesn’t seem to think she has much chance to regain freedom either.
However, she maintains her earlier insistence that she stabbed Leo (Tom Wells) in self-defence having realised his stalking had gotten completely out of control.

Gray later becomes suspicious of Whitney’s story and asks her there and then whether she called anyone on the night of Leo’s passing.
She says she didn’t, but viewers know she rang Mick Carter (Danny Dyer).
Things then get even more complicated when Gray discovers that she got a taxi to Mick’s much-discussed boat party with Kush (Davood Ghadami) that same evening.
The storyline is part of a week of special episodes, which kicked off last night, to celebrate the BBC soap’s 35th anniversary.
Viewers were on the edge of their seats as they saw Mick and Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) look like they were about to drown as the boat hit troubled waters.
Some fans of the soap were baffled by a ‘gaffe’ though, as they said Linda could have easily slid her foot out after it got trapped in some kitchen equipment on the boat.
EastEnders continues on BBC One tonight at 7:30pm
