They paid Jack a visit instead, and asked him to look into the situation. Unfortunately, Walford’s most bent copper was in by-the-book mode, and demanded more substantial evidence before he could investigate. Dismayed, they were forced to listen as Jean launched into another rant against homewrecking Zoe, who’d caused her beloved Stacey to leave. Jean continued to rub salt into the wound after witnessing a tense exchange between Zoe and Vicki. Vicki, meanwhile, had a point. She didn’t need a few paint cans to ruin Zoe’s life. Still, Zoe wasn’t listening to reason, and she broke into Sharon’s place to go looking for evidence herself. Alas, all she found (besides the ghastly wallpaper) were memories of Dirty Den, the man she’d helped murder. She was caught trying to sneak out by Kathy, who demanded to know what she’d been up to. She escorted Zoe back to The Vic, where Kathy reminded her how Vicki had bigger problems on her plate than Zoe Slater. Jean claimed the earring as her own (Credit: BBC) Zoe’s stalker ‘exposed’ in EastEnders tonight Afterwards, a furious Alfie unloaded on Kat and Zoe for the break-in.

Is Jean responsible for Zoe’s latest torment? What else happened in EastEnders tonight? As new evidence emerged in the hunt for Zoe's stalker, Ross made a huge gesture in an attempt to win Vicki back. Bad timing - given everything that had happened that day, she was in no mood for his attempts at romance. Elsewhere, Jasmine broke into the surgery as her vendetta against Cindy continued, while Zack tried to reach out to Barney. Here's everything else that happened in EastEnders tonight. Ross made a grand gesture Still determined to win Vicki back, Ross had big plans. Taking a cue from the 1989 romcom Stay Anything, he set himself up outside the house with a portable boombox, and The Killers playing. Neither that nor the pictures of their relationship he'd strung up all over Albert Square had the hoped effect though, and she shut him down yet again. "You're his dad. And that'll never change," she told him, before demanding he remove everything. Ouch. Jasmine led Oscar astray Oscar remained frustrated by his lack of progress with Jasmine. She's living in his room, now that Cindy's back, but that wasn't good enough for him. Luckily for him, a bonding experience beckoned. Still set on digging more dirt on Cindy, she engineered a way of breaking into the surgery. Stealing the doctor's keys as he sipped drinks at The Albert, she and Oscar snuck in for a little 'alone time' together. After the fact, Jasmine packed Oscar off with another excuse. She then hacked into the computer (apparently the doctor's not up on his GDPR training) and began searching for information on Cindy... Zack reached out to Barney Zack listened in as Billy and Honey explained how hard things were for Barney at the moment. Seeing him upset, Vicki joined Zack over a coffee, while he explained how bad he felt at not being there for his (biological) son. Meanwhile, Nicola and Barney were troubled to find Harry on the sofa, strung-out on drugs. After rejecting a visit from Honey, she received a call from George, who hadn't taken too kindly to her texting Kojo about Harry. She wasn't thrilled, then, to find Barney and Zack together at McKlunky's. Raging at Zack for making a move on her son, she issued another warning to stay away.
