WARNING: This article contains spoilers for today’s episode of EastEnders, which is streaming now on BBC iPlayer, but has not yet aired on BBC One – in which Zoe Slater drops another game-changing bombshell.

Zoe Slater leaves Kat Moon reeling in EastEnders today (Thursday, October 23) as she shares another shocking revelation. Zoe’s behaviour has left mum Kat frustrated recently, as she stole from The Vic and then lied to the Private Investigator she’d hired with the money.

Last night, Kat told Alfie that Zoe would have to start setting a good example for Tommy and the family – or leave. Neither were aware that Zoe was listening in to this conversation, putting her on edge also.

Kat is left reeling at another bombshell from Zoe as the story continues today. But what else has Zoe been hiding?

Zoe reveals the truth about Dennis in EastEnders early release

With Kat and Zoe still at each other’s throats, tensions lift when a cat becomes trapped in the barrel store. Zoe manages to free the cat from the sewer pipe it was trapped in, to Kat and Alfie’s great amusement.

Afterwards, Kat and Zoe share a heart-to-heart. While she admits she doesn’t want Zoe to leave, she demands that Zoe start telling the truth about recent events.

Reminding Zoe how important the search for Dennis’s son is to Sharon, she warns her not to mess Sharon around. Zoe responds by revealing that the twins weren’t Dennis’s after all – leaving Kat shocked.

Zoe grows paranoid in spoilers for next week

As next week’s episodes begin, Kat remains distracted by Zoe’s bombshell. 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.

Hearing Vicki talking to Ross, Kat blurts out Zoe’s secret in front of the whole pub. As everyone reels at what has just transpired, Kat 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?
