Anthony's prime suspect when Zoe's stalker issues another chilling threat... as Tommy comes under suspicion next week
There's another twist in the tale
Zoe’s stalker sent another menacing message in EastEnders tonight (Thursday, November 27), in the wake of her one night stand with old flame Anthony. Subsequently spurning his advances, Zoe left Anthony heartbroken – which is when her stalker struck again.
Opening a mystery Christmas card, Zoe found a sinister message and a series of photographs inside. The timing doesn’t look good for Anthony – but is all as it seems?
Here’s everything that happened in EastEnders tonight.. and what happens when she accuses Tommy next week.
Zoe broke Anthony’s heart
It was the morning after the evening before, and Zoe left the Truemans,’ having spent the night with Anthony. Once she’d gone, he enjoyed a private smirk – only to be confronted by Patrick and Yolande, who demanded answers.
While the pair were full of disapproval of their son’s latest conquest, he assured them that this was more than just a mere fling – Zoe was the one, and he wasn’t going to let her slip through his fingers again.
Back home, Kat warned Zoe that Anthony might be looking for something more serious. And for good reason, it wasn’t long before he came sniffing around at The Vic, inviting her out on a dinner date.
Realising how smitten the doctor appeared to be, Zoe informed him that last night had been a mistake, and she wasn’t looking for anything more serious. Ignoring Kat’s pleas that he back off, Anthony continued to beg Zoe for a second chance.
No dice – and the doctor stormed off, rejected, when she continued to reject his advances.
Zoe’s stalker struck again in EastEnders tonight
As Anthony’s day went from bad to worse, he ranted down the phone to ex-wife Sophie. Relations obviously weren’t well between Anthony and his estranged missus, who seems to be preventing him from seeing the children.
“I’ll see you in court!” he snapped, as Howie looked on.
Meanwhile, at The Vic, Alfie found a Christmas card addressed to Zoe, by the back door. She opened it up to see that it was full of candid pictures of her.
Inside, another menacing message loomed. “THIS ISN’T OVER… YET!” it threatened.
Another threat from broken-hearted Anthony? More spite from Jean? Or is Zoe’s stalker somebody we haven’t even considered?
Tommy accused of being Zoe’s stalker in EastEnders spoilers
Another name enters the fray in EastEnders spoilers for next week, as Zoe becomes convinced that her stalker is actually… Tommy. This comes as the Square gathers for the Christmas lights-switch on, where another message is revealed in the window of The Vic.
Afterwards, Zoe returns home, where she discovers a damning piece of evidence in Tommy’s rucksack. She accuses him of stalking her, leading to a massive row between the family.
But was Tommy really responsible for all Zoe’s torment?
Traitors' Jessie Stride explains the truth about her stammer as she claps back at trolls who accused her of faking it
The Faithful, who was murdered in the BBC show last week, has clapped back at trolls while explaining how her speech disorder works.
Jessie has had a stammer since she was four years old and was open about her struggles on the BBC show.

But she still found herself receiving vile messages from some keyboard warriors who claimed she was 'putting it on'.
Jessie has now bravely responded to the mean claims in a heartfelt video.
Traitors star Jessie reveals truth about her stammer
Jessie has recorded her video to thank fans for being so supportive of her during her time in The Traitors.
But she has also used it to explain more about how her stammer affects her.
The hairdresser said she received messages asking why her stutter would come and go in different scenes.
She begins by saying "hello, my fabulous friends", while also signing the welcome for hard of hearing fans.
Jessie goes on to say: "Even though I'm out of the game, I still feel like I have won. My whole purpose of doing wasn't ever to win. I mean, I wouldn't have turned down the money if I had won, but it was never to win.
"My whole purpose was to help raise awareness on stammering and I believe I have done that.
"I'm hoping that I have helped a lot of people who are like me and live with a stammer every day. It just proves that we can do whatever we put our minds to.
"Your stammer does not define who you are and it doesn't have to hold you back.
"Yes, it can be challenging at times. But we just need longer to speak."

She continues: "I've read a couple of comments from people asking why I stammer more in this episode, whereas in this one I haven't stammered much.
"The answer is, I don't know! A stammer is really unpredictable. People can link it with nerves but it isn't because I'm nervous.
"Nerves don't help but I don't stammer because I'm nervous."
Jessie has said her 'heart has been warmed' by all the messages she has received from fans who also have stammers.
She is also hoping her newfound fame will help raise more awareness of the condition.
"Stammering isn't talked about enough," Jessie adds. "We had Gareth Gates, which was really good, but we haven't really had much else.
"It is important that we educate people on it."
Jessie's murder on The Traitors
Jessie's time to leave The Traitors came during Friday night's episode (January 16, 2026). She was the latest murder victim to fall foul of Traitors Rachel Duffy and Stephen Libby.
The pair bumped Jessie off after she began making her feelings known that she thought Stephen was a Traitor.
Jessie later learned she was right about Stephen during scenes in spin-off show, Uncloaked.
She jumped out of her seat and declared: "I am not just a daft lass that wears yellow and orange!"

Jessie was delighted to find out that she had guessed correctly, although she was really shocked to find out Rachel was the other Traitor.
The Traitors continues on Wednesday evening at 8pm. This time, Stephen and Rachel have to decide who to give a Dagger to.
The Dagger will grant the recipient two votes at the Round Table - and they can choose to award it one of themselves.
Hurry up, Wednesday!
