As Zoe admits the truth about her son, all hell breaks loose when Kat exposes her lies next week
Who saw that one coming?
Zoe Slater revealed that she’d been lying about her twins’ paternity in EastEnders tonight (Thursday, October 23), admitting to mum Kat that Dennis isn’t the father. Zoe revealed that she’d given birth to Dennis’s babies last month, in the hope of getting Sharon to stump up for a Private Investigator.
She was successful in convincing Sharon to fund the search for her son, but Kat’s been more dubious. Witnessing Zoe skirt around the issue of the babies’ father with her Private Investigator, Kat realised that Zoe is still keeping secrets from just about everyone.
And, as she confronted her daughter, Zoe admitted that she’d lied about Dennis.
Here’s what happened in EastEnders tonight – and what happens when Kat reveals the truth next week.
Kat and Zoe bonded over a lost kitty in EastEnders tonight
Kat confronted Zoe over what had happened yesterday. Alfie attempted to keep the piece, but he couldn’t stop the women in his life from sniping at each other.
Hostilities were disrupted by Bert and Ernie, who informed them that something had gone bump in the barrel store. Turns out it wasn’t one of the twins’ pranks, nor the ghost of Dirty Den. No, a cat had become trapped downstairs. Or, specifically, inside a sewer pipe.
This rather gross rescue mission served as a bonding moment for mother, daughter and the whole family. And, as Zoe fussed over her new kitty later, she and Kat shared a heart-to-heart.

As conversation took a more serious turn, Kat addressed the elephant in the room. Having witnessed her lies and elusiveness yesterday, Kat pressed Zoe on why she’d stolen the cash and lied to her Private Investigator.
Finding Dennis’s son was important to Sharon, Kat reasoned, so she needs to tread carefully. And it was then that Zoe admitted the truth: she’d been lying about Dennis being the baby’s father.
How will Kat react to this shocking news?

It’s quiz night at The Vic next week, but Kat remains distracted by Zoe’s bombshell news. Alfie tries to tell Kat to stay out of it, but she’s troubled when she learns that Ian has transferred Vicki money to assist with Zoe’s search.
As the situation escalates, Kat blurts out the truth in front of the whole pub. As everyone reels from Kat’s bombshell, she comes to realise how deeply Zoe’s actions are affecting her family life and business.
In the wake of that night’s events, Zoe decides to leave. But, while packing her bags, she discovers that someone’s smashed up a picture of her and Kat.
When Kat denies being responsible, Zoe accuses Vicki instead. Meanwhile, Alfie discovers an old videotape from the 1980s in the barrel store. He wants to play it, but Zoe is worried about how Zoe will react to the Slater home footage on the tape.
Regardless, Zoe walks in to find the video playing. Lashing out, she accuses Anthony and kicks him out of The Vic. Later, Anthony confides in Kat about his worries for Zoe.
She’s convinced that someone is out to get her – but is there any truth to her paranoia?
