Following the aftermath of Lee (played by Danny-Boy Hatchard) and Whitney’s bust-up on Friday night, Whitney told her husband to pack his bags and stay at the Queen Vic.
However, once at the Vic, his father Mick (Danny Dyer) soon pushed for the reason behind their argument.
Horrified to discover that his son had raised his fists to Whitney “for a dig”, Mick forced Lee back out onto the streets.
By this time, Whitney (Shona McGarty) had professed her love for Lee to friend Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) and allowed him to return home.
Adding a twist to the soap plot, Shirley (Linda Henry) advised Mick to persuade Lee to break free from Whitney and depart Walford.
Encouraging Mick to intervene due to the unhealthy situation, not knowing about the hospital kiss between Mick and Whitney, she convinced him to speak to Lee.
Suggesting he walks away from Albert Square and Whitney in order to privately sort out all of his personal demons, could this be the way the character will leave the soap?
Will Lee follow his father’s guidance or continue to resolve his marital issues in Walford?
