Tyler (Tony Discipline) and Fatboy are both currently harbouring feelings for Whitney, but things become complicated in next week's episodes when Tyler is seriously injured by a fearsome opponent in a boxing match.
Viewers will see Tyler have a violent fit in the ring before being rushed to hospital, where Whitney waits anxiously at his bedside.

Speaking to Inside Soap about the storyline, McGarty explained: "Whitney genuinely thinks Tyler's going to die because the fit he has in the boxing ring is just so shocking. She's absolutely devastated. She feels that everything is slipping away from her - it's like her one chance at true love has gone."
Asked what Whitney would do if Tyler recovered and she was forced to choose between him and Fatboy, the actress replied: "She'd definitely pick Tyler because she likes a bit of drama! Whitney wouldn't want things to be boring - that's not to say that Fatboy's dull, but things would just be too nice with him and she knows life isn't like that the whole time.
"Off screen, my mates are all jealous that I've got two boys fighting over me. They're always saying to me, 'Can you get me Fatboy's number?' They love all the guys in the show!"
Ricky Norwood, who plays Fatboy, recently warned that there will be "lots of ifs and buts" for his character and Whitney in the coming months.
