'Obsessed' Anthony is stalking Zoe, fans predict

Is he up to something?
Joel Harley

EastEnders fans are convinced that Anthony Trueman has become ‘obsessed’ with Zoe Slater and is her mystery tormentor. The Doctor made the shortlist this week after it seemed as though Zoe was being targeted.

First a picture of her and Kat turned up smashed, and then someone played a VHS of her and the family in front of the gathered punters at the pub. While Zoe’s made no shortage of enemies recently – including Jean Slater and Vicki Fowler – some think Anthony’s been raising some rather large red flags recently.

And let’s be honest… lurking in the toilets of a pub long after it’s closed is pretty weird behaviour, even by EastEnders standards.

Could his theory that Zoe is suffering a psychotic break be part of a bigger game from Anthony? Is he the one stalking Zoe?

Anthony is Zoe’s tormentor, EastEnders fans predict

As last night’s scenes aired, fans shared their thoughts on Anthony’s odd behaviour. And some wondered if he had begun targeting his former lover.

“I started wondering about Anthony, too. Why is he still there hanging around? His kid is sick so he should have left and gone home. It seems suspicious to me,” wrote one fan on X.

“He’s obviously still in love with Zoe and on a couple of occasions has tried to isolate her from others, and he did also try to kiss her. And suggesting she’s having a breakdown is an extreme reaction to what could be Zoe just being manipulative,” another theorised.

“I do not trust Anthony,” stated a third.

“Anthony, I never liked him – but they’ve turned him into a weirdo mass murderer haven’t they???” asked a fourth.

What’s Anthony’s end game here?

Anthony’s hiding something in EastEnders spoilers

Whether he’s stalking Zoe or not remains to be seen. However, Anthony is definitely up to something in EastEnders spoilers for next week.

When his secretive phone calls cause his family to grow suspicious, Anthony reveals that he’s scored a permanent job at the local surgery.

Mystery solved? Apparently not, as he’s soon making clandestine calls again once alone.

What is Anthony hiding? And does it have something to do with Zoe and the search for her twins?
