BBC/Composite: EastEnders Insider Share By Joel Harley Aug 29 2025 By Joel Harley Aug 29 2025 Fans convinced Zoe has brought another Slater with her as she returns Is Zoe hiding another Slater? Zoe Slater Share By Joel Harley Aug 29 2025 By Joel Harley Aug 29 2025 Fans of EastEnders are convinced that Zoe Slater will be returning to the soap with another member of the family in tow – and we don’t just mean Tommy. Last night’s episode (airing Thursday, August 28), saw Tommy track down his missing sister. Arriving at a dilapidated block of flats, he made his way to one of the homes and knocked on the door. This was answered by a troubled-looking Zoe, who invited him inside. But what awaits Tommy in his sister’s flat? And how did she score a flat in the UK anyway? Some viewers have a theory… and it means that there may be another Slater lurking in the shadows. Zoe’s got a new flat, but is she alone? (Credit: BBC) EastEnders fans convinced Zoe is living with another Slater As last night’s scenes aired, fans shared their thoughts on Zoe’s new living situation. And some wondered whether she might be staying with another member of the family. Article continues below Read all the latest spoilers “So who do we think Zoe has been staying with? I get the feeling it’s either Little Mo or Hayley Slater. There’s no way Zoe rented that flat as she’s meant to be in debt to loan sharks,” wrote one fan. “I wonder if Zoe is staying with another Slater family member or another family member judging by the area she’s living in. So we may get more then one Slater appearance,” a second hypothesised. Has Zoe shacked up with Hayley Slater? Alfie had an affair with Hayley (Credit: BBC) Who was Hayley Slater anyway? Hayley has been the talk of the town in recent months, with Alfie claiming to have been helping her out when he was in Spain. Hayley is the mother of Alfie’s daughter, Cherry, and the result of an affair between the pair. Troubled Hayley was last seen in the wake of a suicide attempt, leaving Walford after being admitted to a psychiatric hospital. She later reunited with Cherry (who was in Kat and Alfie’s care for a while), and hasn’t been seen since. However, viewers have grown convinced that a Hayley return is on the cards, due to repeated invocation of her name over recent months. Are we set for a full Slater family reunion?
