EastEnders viewers left emotional after Zack and Whitney plant a tree in honour ... trends now
EastEnders viewers were left feeling extremely emotional after watching devastating scenes unfold between Whitney Dean and Zack Hudson during Monday evening's episode.
Zack had decided that he wanted to plant a tree in honour of their lost child, Peach.
But in a heated confrontation, Whitney had told him his gesture was 'meaningless' and that she didn't want to take part.

'Do you know what? I'm gunna leave her ashes there and you can do what you want with her. But I'm gunna plant this tree because she was my daughter too. And I need to say goodbye.'
