Whitney Dean is set to receive further sad news on EastEnders<\/a> next week.<\/p>\n

The much-loved Walford favourite has faced an upsetting time recently after she decided to terminate her pregnancy with baby Peach<\/a> after she was diagnosed with the terminal condition<\/a> of Edward\u2019s Syndrome<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In distressing scenes, Whitney gave birth to her child amid the termination<\/a> before saying a heartbreaking goodbye<\/a> alongside Peach\u2019s father, Zack Hudson (James Farrar).<\/p>\n

However, recent scenes have seen Whitney push Zack away<\/a> despite his hope that they would have a future together and try again to have children.<\/p>\n

Next week in the BBC One soap<\/a>, Whitney faces a tough time after she decides to return to work at the market amid talk of Mother\u2019s Day.<\/p>

Despite initially being distracted, Whitney is devastated when she gets a call to say that Peach\u2019s ashes are ready for her to collect, leaving her shattered.<\/p>\n

Zack reaches out to Whitney but she swiftly pushes him away and blames other people for forcing her to go back to work.<\/p>\n

Later, Zack pays a visit to her at home, but Whitney is resolute that she does not want to say her goodbyes to baby Peach.<\/p>\n

When Zack tries to discuss the memorial for their late daughter, Whitney avoids the discussion of the event but agrees to join him in picking up Peach\u2019s ashes.<\/p>\n

Yet, when Whitney\u2019s pregnant 12-year-old niece Lily Slater<\/a> (Lillia Turner) faces a health scare, Whitney takes the opportunity to drop out of the difficult task for her and Zack, leaving him to collect Peach\u2019s ashes alone.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Whitney\u2019s time with Lily sees her grow paranoid and overly protective of Lily and an argument ensues at the Slater\u2019s house.<\/p>\n

As the day continues, a broken Zack eventually comes face to face with Whitney and slams her decision to leave him to collect their daughter\u2019s ashes alone.<\/p>\n

Will the pair ever be able to repair their relationship?<\/p>\n
