During Wednesday trip to Walford (April 24), Lauren and Whitney rushed to help Britney after she was bullied by a group of school girls. Zack encouraged Whitney to let the girl have a chance to handle the situation on her own first as she settles into her new school.
However, Whitney rushed to Britney's defence by confronting the bullies and threatened them, which only made things worse and led to the girls tormenting Britney even more.
While Britney had some support from her new friend Lexi Pearce, she was angry with Whitney for interfering. She told Zack and Lauren that Whitney had just "made everything worse" by getting involved with the bullies.
"She's ruined everything. I hate this place," Britney declared. Zack, who has struggled to accept Britney, was horrified as Britney revealed that Whitney had "stolen her" from behind her mother's back in Milton Keynes.
"I ain't being anyone's dirty little secret anymore," Britney blurted out. A second later, Whitney arrived home as Zack demanded to know what was going on with Britney.
Following Whitney's erratic behaviour in trying to help Britney, some EastEnders fans have claimed the BBC soap have completely ruined her character. Taking to X, one person said: "The writers truly have turned Whitney into a reckless individual. #EastEnders."
A second said: "My god when is Whitney leaving?!? They’ve ruined the character. Bore off #EastEnders". While a third chimed in with: "Anyone else infuriated by how selfish Whitney has suddenly become? Honestly ridiculous what she is doing to Zach. #EastEnders."
