TWITTER has gone into overdrive after Eastenders viewers are speculating that Whitney Dean is going to be killed off.
The Walford cast have been spotted filming a funeral near the BBC1 soap studios – and fans are convinced that we could be saying goodbye to poor Whitney.
One concerned viewer wrote: “I’m very worried. Nobody’s seen shona in a while & today EastEnders was filming a possible funeral…. Whitney better be (OK)!! #EastEnders.”
Another said: “Watching Whitney with all these rumours about her future at the moment makes me really sad.”, whilst one adamant fan added: “They’ve been filming Whitney’s funeral”.
Whitney, played by actress Shona McGarty, is currently enthralled in a story-line involving her fiance Callum ‘Halfway’ Highway.
Last month, Callum asked a delighted Whitney to marry him – despite him being secretly gay.
Callum’s – AKA Halfway – world was turned upside down when his sexuality was revealed by Ben Mitchell.
The pair ended up romping in a park after a boozy night out, where viewers watched Ben [Max Bowden] offer words of comfort, before the boys ended up snogging as they reached for one another’s belt buckles.
Afterwards, Callum made every effort to forget his gay rendezvous – and ended up proposing to his unsuspecting girlfriend Whitney.
Whitney has already had a previous break from the Square in July 2017 after a tumultuous few months which saw her marriage to ex Lee Carter breakdown.
She returned and then hooked up with bad boy barman Woody Woodward – played by Lee Ryan – with the couple getting engaged and planning a new life in Spain.
But when Whitney headed to the tube station to meet Woody – the lothario was nowhere to be seen.
Instead, Whitney found a note from Woody telling her that she was better off in London, leaving her heartbroken again.
