As a consequence, Jean secures extra cleaning work for them both, but Stacey is soon left exhausted after taking on these night shifts.

Zack and Whitney are at odds about leaving Peach at the hospital, but are then left disconcerted when it’s revealed that their daughter’s existence isn’t legally recognised.

Zack then seeks solace in the hospital’s faith room but is agitated the casual attitude of a dad-to-be. Whitney, meanwhile, softens to the idea of spending time with Peach after speaking with Nurse Lynsey, with Monday’s episode then finding both Whit and Zack saying goodbye to their daughter.

As the week progresses, Whitney’s struggles result in her pushing her loved ones away as she tries to come to terms with her loss. Zack, though, desperately wants to speak to Whit, unaware that she wants to talk to him too. Will the two of them end up reaching out to each other?

Ash reveals that she’s been re-offered a job in Canada, so Nish enlists Suki to help dissuade their daughter from accepting.

But wanting her girl to spread her wings, Suki suggests to Ash that she isn’t capable – knowing full well that these mind games will result in Ash taking the job to spite her.

Following this conversation, Suki tells Nish that there was nothing she could do and the pair reluctantly head to the pub to mark Ash leaving Walford. But Nish is set to find his rage building when he realises his wife has deceived him and, once home, ends up threatening her.
