An unwelcome reminder. <\/p>

There was a reminder of a past storyline that most viewers would rather forget in tonight\u2019s EastEnders<\/a> (14th June), as Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) had cause to call out former daughter-in-law Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty).<\/p>\n

Whitney was unimpressed tonight when Bernie Taylor (Clair Norris) made reference to the fact that Gina Knight (Francesca Henry) had been flirting<\/a> with her boyfriend Zack Hudson (James Farrar).<\/p>\n

As Whit sulked in the caf\u00e9, Linda, who is set to become Gina\u2019s stepsister, defended her by reminding Whitney of her own indiscretion past indiscretion.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s not the first woman to have made a move on somebody else\u2019s man, is she?\u201d Linda told Whitney in a cool, collected manner.<\/p>\n

Whitney was taken aback, but there was nothing she could say \u2013 we all remember that time she kissed Linda\u2019s beloved Mick (Danny Dyer)! But just in case you can\u2019t recall, read on for a trip down memory lane.<\/p>

What happened between Whitney Dean and Mick Carter in EastEnders?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Back in 2016, Whitney was engaged to Mick and Linda\u2019s son Lee (Danny Hatchard). But during a turbulent time for the family, there was an accidental kiss on the lips between Whitney and Mick. Whit later found herself trying to kiss Mick again. Although the incident was later exposed, the Carters were able to move on and Whit married Lee, despite the fact that he had cheated on her.<\/p>\n

After a bus crashed into Walford market, Whitney ended up in hospital with injuries. Mick was frantic with worry and headed to see her, where Whit confided in him over her troubled marriage. As Mick comforted her, she leaned in to kiss him, which was witnessed by Denise Fox (Diane Parish).<\/p>\n

Later that year, Lee left Whitney, who continued to live at the Queen Vic pub with Mick even when Linda had to leave the Square for a while. With the pair\u2019s friendship blossoming as Whitney felt vulnerable and Mick was lonely, Mick kissed her and she responded. This encounter went no further, but when Mick\u2019s mum Shirley (Linda Henry) found out she threw Whit out.<\/p>\n
