BBC/Composite: EastEnders Insider Share By Joel Harley Oct 30 2025 By Joel Harley Oct 30 2025 As she rules Anthony out, two shocking new theories on Zoe's twins emerge The speculation is rife Zoe Slater Share By Joel Harley Oct 30 2025 By Joel Harley Oct 30 2025 EastEnders seemed to rule Anthony Trueman out as the father of Zoe’s twins last night (Wednesday, October 29) as he questioned what many fans have already been wondering. As it happens, Anthony isn’t the father of her children – she’d been on the pill, and the timelines don’t add up either. But if not Anthony, then who? Zoe’s latest admission has sent the rumour mill into overdrive – with two new theories now coming to light. Warning: The following contains discussion of themes which some may find upsetting.

Anthony thinks Zoe is going through a psychotic break (Credit: BBC) Her children never existed, fan theory suggests In last night’s episode, Anthony shared his concern with Kat, diagnosing Zoe as being in the early stages of a psychotic break. Kat seemed unsure whether to believe Anthony, but it’s becoming increasingly clear that Zoe’s struggling with some deep issues. Might the twins – and the pregnancy – be a product of her distressed mind? “Are the twins even real? Perhaps it’s all a fantasy in her head….there has to be some kind of twist I think to drag out the details about the Father for this long,” asked one fan. Another said: “I definitely do think she’s going through a psychosis atm and that the son doesn’t exist.” Is Zoe as unwell as Anthony thinks?
