Whitney came to a chilling realisation tonight. <\/p>
As time began to run out for EastEnders\u2019<\/a> killer Gray Atkins (Toby-Alexander Smith), a huge revelation rocked the residents in tonight\u2019s episode (7th March) as Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) worked out his role in Tina Carter\u2019s (Luisa Bradshaw-White) death.<\/p>\n Earlier tonight, Gray was taken to the police station for questioning after devastated Shirley (Linda Henry) explained he was the last person in contact with her sister<\/a>. This meant he couldn\u2019t be with wife Chelsea (Zaraah Abrahams) to pick up newborn son Jordan from the hospital. Gray feigned shock to DCI Arthurs over Tina\u2019s fate, and realised they had no evidence to link him to her murder.<\/p>\n Later, Shirley and Mick (Danny Dyer) paid Gray a visit and he lied through his teeth, pledging to help in any way he could. But when Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) broke her promise not to spread the news, Tina\u2019s former flame Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy) was heartbroken while Whitney came to a startling realisation.<\/p>\n As she sought out Mick and offered her condolences over his loss, she asked to speak to him in private. Shaking, Whitney insisted that although she had no proof, everything she now knew about Gray made her certain that he must have killed Tina.<\/p>\n Viewers will recall that Tina and Shirley previously lived with Gray, but in December 2020 Tina found herself in trouble with the law. As Tina prepared to flee, she experienced Gray\u2019s temper and accused him of murdering first wife Chantelle (Jessica Plummer)<\/a>. Gray responded by strangling her to death.<\/p>\n
