EastEnders has lined up a nasty Christmas surprise for Whitney Dean.
Whitney (Shona McGarty) was recently manipulated into starting a relationship with lawyer Leo King (Tom Wells), having no idea that he is actually the son of her abuser Tony.
Though it looked as if the two made peace when Whitney explained the hell Tony had put her through as a teen, Leo has continued following her in the Square in recent episodes.

The two will finally come face-to-face next week after Callum (Tony Clay) confides in Whitney following his split from Ben (Max Bowden), and is shocked to hear the police won't help her with Leo.
Even Leo's work colleague Gray Atkins (Toby-Alexander Smith) gets involved to warn him to stay away from Whitney, though the stalker makes it clear he won't take kindly to threats.
What to Read Next
When Gray breaks the news to Whitney that his attempts to intervene weren't successful, she decides to follow Callum's recent example by confronting Leo directly.
Whit demands that Leo meet with her at the cafe, but he doesn't actually turn up. It is only when Whitney leaves that she comes face-to-face with him outside.
Whitney stands up to the stalker, demanding that he leave Walford immediately and never bother her again. Yet, she is totally unprepared for what Leo has to say in response.
EastEnders airs these scenes on Monday (December 23) at 8pm and Christmas Eve at 7.30pm on BBC One.
