EastEnders fans shocked as Whitney Dean agrees to go on a date with evil stalker Leo King
EASTENDERS fan are shocked as Whitney Dean agrees to go on a date with evil stalker Leo King.
Whitney has been trying to piece her life back together after finding out her new boyfriend was in fact her childhood abuser’s son, hell-bent on revenge.
She only found out Leo’s real identity after sleeping with him in a hotel room.
When she tried to escape, Leo locked her in the room.
Whitney has been trying to move on, but those plans were ruined when she found out Leo was granted a market stall.
On Thursday’s episode, the stalker tries to start up a conversation with Whit, but is rebuffed.
Protective Kush goes up to him and says: “Here’s how it’s going to work. You look after your stall, we look after ours. Zero chat.”
Leo replies: “You speak for everyone do ya?”
“Yeah. He does,” an equally furious Martin Fowler replies.
As they walk past him, Kush barges his shoulder.
Leo doesn’t stop there though, as he attempts to buy her food in the cafe, before finding her, in the middle of the night, in front of her door.
Whit drops her keys and Leo grabs them. She asks: “What do you want from me?”
He replies: “I don’t want anything from you. Just a chance. A date, tomorrow night at Ruby’s. Just to hear me out. If you don’t like it, that’ll be it, I promise.”
She nods her head meekly, and he continues: “Great, you won’t regret it.”
