Walford criminal Gray (played by Toby-Alexander Smith) has escaped justice for two years but can no longer escape the truth in upcoming episode of the long-running drama.

And while the sordid details of Tina Carter’s death are bound to come to light, Whitney could also find out the lawyer claimed his third victim in Walford as he killed her fiancé Kush in April, 2021.

Fans remember that the latter was pushed off the tube platform in front of an oncoming train and died instantly but, as mentioned above, Whitney is still unaware of Gray’s involvement in his death.

Despite her ongoing vicious feud with Gray – with whom she was also romantically involved – Whitney has never considered him responsible for Kush’s demise, according to actress Shona McGarty.

“She would never think [he murdered Kush], even though she knows about Chantelle. It just doesn’t occur to her – it’s not something she has thought about”, she admitted.

“As far as she is concerned, Gray was at home at the time of Kush’s death and she just believes it was an accident.”

Shona went on: “Obviously the audience knows different, so hopefully she will get that information at some point.”

But how will Whitney react if or even when she finds out the truth?

“She loved Kush. She’s had some really rubbish relationships and she’d be devastated to find out what really happened to him.”

Shona has teased a “really shocking” reaction from her character, letting EastEnders fans know she could be ready to do anything to avenge her other half.

“When you’re given that sort of information, you could do anything though”, she commented, adding: “You don’t know how you’re going to react and so Whitney’s reaction might actually be really shocking.”

Gray’s world is about to come crashing down as spoilers have confirmed, after Tina’s remains were found under the floorboards of the Argee Bhajee.

Tina was Gray’s second victim as he first pushed his wife Chantelle onto an upturned knife in the dishwasher as she was getting ready to leave him.

Kush was killed when Gray developed an obsession with Whitney and he couldn’t stand to see her leave Walford for Dubai.

As Whitney searches for her moment of reckoning with Gray next week, could she take matters into her own hands and make him pay for Kush’s death?
