WHITNEY ABDUCTED BY EVIL LEO'S MUM IN SICK REVENGE | EASTENDERS SPOILERS

Last Tuesday in EastEnders, viewers saw Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) be clutched at knife-point by evil Leo's mum, Michaela Turnbull (Fiona Allen) after the latter was arrested for trying to pervert the course of justice in Whitney's case of murder.

In tonight's episode (Monday 27 April 2020), fans of the BBC One Serial Drama saw Whitney's family wonder where she is after Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy) made the discovery that her niece wasn't in her bedroom.

During an incident in the kitchen, Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) broke a dish and wanted to be the one to tidy the mess away.  It was when she put the broken remains of the plate in the bucket was a note from Whitney explaining she's runaway from Walford.

With the note being in the bin, it was obvious Whitney had thought of running away but decided against it by putting the letter in the bucket.

Jean told of the contents of Whitney's note explaining of her vanishing leaving her family to wonder where she had runaway to.

It's never that simple in Walford as the viewing audience discovered at the closing moments of tonight's episode.

Whitney was seen banging a door of a bedsit where she has been locked up by Michaela in an attempt to stop Whitney from appearing in court.  If Whitney no shows in the dock, it is more than probable she'll be imprisoned indefinitely - as alluded to by her solicitor, Gray Atkins (Toby-Alexander Smith) earlier in this evening's episode.

Will Whitney manage to escape her captor or will she be left to die in the grotty bedsit?

EastEnders continues on BBC One.
