Lee and Whitney Kiss!

Lee Carter quickly develops a reputation as a ladies' man as he charms both Lucy Beale and Whitney Dean later this month.

Lee (Danny-Boy Hatchard) is immediately attracted to Lucy as he settles into life in Walford. When he makes a play for the blonde, they end up spending the night together.
