EastEnders: Zoe Slater's Lies Explode & Stalker Mystery Deepens

Well, Walford fans, get ready for an absolute rollercoaster! Zoe Slater's been playing a dangerous game, and her web of lies about a stalker and the father of her twins is finally unraveling, leaving Kat and Alfie Moon reeling.

TL;DR: The Lowdown on Walford's Latest Drama

• Zoe has confessed to Alfie that she partially faked some stalking incidents to gain sympathy, but insists there's a real threat too.
• Her massive lie about Dennis Rickman being the father of her twins has exploded, causing chaos for Kat and Sharon.
• Kat is making a huge sacrifice, selling her share of the limo business, to help Zoe find her son, despite all the deception.

Zoe's Stalker Saga: Is She Being Targeted, Or Is It All a Twisted Game?

Okay, so let's dive into the absolute mess that is Zoe Slater's current life in Walford. For a while now, strange things have been happening around her, leading everyone, especially her mum Kat Moon, to believe she's being targeted by a stalker. We've seen a photo of Kat and Zoe smashed, a mysterious intruder at The Vic, Zoe's cat going missing, and even the Slater family photos being vandalised.

Kat has been deeply worried, despite Alfie Moon's growing suspicion that it might all be in Zoe's head. And guess what? Alfie's gut feeling wasn't wrong! In shocking upcoming scenes, Alfie catches Zoe out, and she's forced to admit that she "may have helped things along a little on the stalking front" to keep his and Kat's sympathies. Apparently, she even defaced some of those family pictures herself!

But wait, there's a twist! Zoe insists that her actions were a one-off, and the previous incidents were genuinely the work of someone out to get her. So, is she a victim or a manipulator? Or a bit of both? The mystery deepens when Zoe later receives a text from an unknown number claiming to have her missing cat. Is this the real stalker stepping up, or another one of Zoe's twisted games?

The Explosive Truth About Zoe's Twins' Father Comes Out

If you thought the stalking drama was intense, buckle up! Zoe's biggest secret – the paternity of her twins – has well and truly blown up. Remember when she told Sharon Watts that her late husband, Dennis Rickman, was the father of her twins born in 2006? Well, that was a complete lie!

Kat, fed up with her daughter's deceptions, finally blurted out the truth to Vicki Fowler, who was helping Sharon track down Dennis's supposed half-brother. This revelation left Vicki (and Sharon, we can only imagine!) in complete shock. Kat's anger boiled over, leading to a tense ultimatum for Zoe to leave Walford.

This huge lie has left fans speculating wildly about who the real father could be. One popular theory circulating online points to Anthony Trueman, who's been around lately and has shown some concern for Zoe. The timelines might even line up for it to be possible. Could the show be setting up another huge paternity bombshell?

"Zoe has not stopped lying since she stepped onto Albert Square, so it's not hard for her family to believe that someone is gunning for her." — A Walford insider

Kat's Heartbreaking Sacrifice: Selling the Limo Business

Despite all of Zoe's lies and the chaos she's caused, Kat's love for her daughter is unwavering. Seeing Zoe's distress and her desperate mission to find her son, Kat makes a massive decision. In a truly selfless act, she decides to sell her share of the limo business to help raise the cash needed for the private investigator to continue the search.

This move highlights the deep, complicated bond between Kat and Zoe. Even with all the deception, Kat is determined to support her daughter, putting her own financial security on the line. But with Zoe's propensity for faking drama, will Kat's sacrifice truly lead to the answers they're looking for, or just more trouble?
