EastEnders viewers were left gobsmacked after tonight’s fiery episode turned into a bloodbath with Whitney Dean stabbing her ex Leo King.
After months of living in fear as to what her evil ex Leo will do next, Whitney couldn’t take it anymore and knew she had to do something as her life was in danger.
Leo’s dad Tony raped Whitney, and even though she told her former beau exactly what happened, he refused to listen.
He’s since been on a mission to seek revenge on his former squeeze Whitney after she reported his dad for abusing her in the past.

Leo wanted Whitney reveal Tony as innocent as he was convinced she’d been lying and his dad did nothing wrong.
In a nail-biting scene, Whitney was left with no choice but to kill the evil character.
She attempted to run away from her dangerous ex, but he was too quick and raced down the stairs after her.
The couple were left in a desperate scuffle as Whitney tried to protect herself and grabbed the knife Leo had.
He fell onto the upraised knife, with the character dying instantly.
In past episodes, Leo was seen stalking Whitney’s every move, and making her life miserable.
He was sleeping in the attic above Whitney’s bedroom, so had been watching her sleep and get undressed.

Leo overheard Whitney confessing that she kept one of the letters that his abusive dad Tony wrote to her.
He waited until his former girlfriend left before going on the hunt for his father’s penned letters.
When Whitney got back, she saw that the house was turned upside down after Leo’s letter hunt, and she went into panic mode before calling the police.

Later, Whitney was preparing for the boat party, unaware that Leo was still lurking.
He pounced on the unsuspecting star, and this led to the gory scuffle as Whitney feared for her life.
In a desperate attempt to free herself from Leo’s deadly grasp, she stabbed him with a knife and killed him in gory scenes.
