EastEnders’ Whitney Dean and Zack Hudson are headed for a heartbreaking storyline involving their baby on the BBC soap, after receiving worrying ultrasound news.
The BBC One soap has confirmed actors Shona McGarty and James Farrar are set to take on the emotional new storyline, which will see their characters' baby diagnosed with Edwards’ syndrome.
Edwards’ syndrome is a rare genetic condition where a person has extra copies of a chromosome. There is no current long-treatment for the severe condition and children diagnosed with it do not often live beyond the first few years of their life.
