Lee and Whitney Carter's strained marriage makes up one of the most moving plotlines on EastEnders.
And Shona McGarty revealed the relationship with onscreen husband Lee, played by Danny-Boy Hatchard, is set to reach a dramatic climax over Christmas.
The 25-year-old actress admitted she 'feels very sorry' for Lee, who buckles under the pressure of spiralling debts and depression, while her character Whitney remains blind to her husband's emotional torment.
'Over Christmas, it will come to a head,' revealed McGarty, who has been a staple of life in Albert Square since 2008.
'I feel very sorry for Lee. He's trapped by this belief that men shouldn't show their emotions too much, so Whitney is oblivious.
'She doesn't know what's going on in his mind. Whitney has never had her own place before.'
She added: 'She wants to make the perfect home, so she's focused on that and is often oblivious to the secrets Lee is keeping from her.'
