EastEnders' Whitney Dean to make a major decision over her future

EastEnders spoilers follow.

EastEnders' Whitney Dean will make a huge decision about her future next week, following Lola Pearce-Brown's funeral.

In new scenes due to air on BBC One, emotions will be running high in Walford after Lola is laid to rest in a colourful celebration of her life, with everyone in Albert Square feeling affected by her tragic loss.

After the funeral, Whitney contemplates how precious life is and she decides to seize the moment and ask her boyfriend Zack Hudson to move in with her at No.1. As he accepts, the couple celebrate reaching a new milestone in their relationship.

Whitney and Zack have already been through more than their fair share of trauma in their relationship. They lost their unborn daughter Peach earlier this year after the baby was diagnosed with Edwards' syndrome, which could have meant that she might not have survived.

The couple have also handled Zack's HIV positive status together, while more recently, newcomer Gina Knight tried to make a move on Zack.

However, it seems that the couple are now stronger than ever after overcoming these difficulties, despite Whitney star Shona McGarty's suggestion earlier this year that fans may not have been keen on the pair's romance to begin with.

"Viewers weren't that keen on them at first, and I don't think they're invested yet because they haven't seen what we've done," she said, speaking before the scenes featuring Peach's death aired.

EastEnders airs on Mondays - Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer.
