Zoe is living in fear in EastEnders spoilers

Zoe is convinced someone is out to get her, following a string of disturbing happenings.

We now know Zoe was behind the defaced photo of her and Kat, but there’s still the business of the intruder and missing kitty Mini Mo. Zoe has been pleading with her family to believe she’s in danger, but they’re not sure if she’s making the whole thing up. Fans are also starting to wonder if Zoe has been harassing herself because she’s in the grips of a mental health crisis.

Other theories indicate that the stalker is someone else. Potential suspects include Zoe’s former boyfriend Anthony Trueman, her nemesis Vicki Fowler, Stacey’s vengeful mum Jean. And then there’s Sam Mitchell, who’s on her way back to Walford, and has some old scores to settle with Zoe.

Zoe plays matchmaker

Next week starts on a lighter note for Zoe when she decides to play matchmaker between Freddie and Anna. Viewers will recall Freddie and Anna had an on/off romance, which ended when Anna discovered he’d bedded her big sister Gina.

But Zoe can sense the pair are still hot for another and decides to use the quiz night as an opportunity to get them back together.

Zoe has fun helping Anna and Freddie rekindle, but her happiness is short-lived when she makes a shock discovery. Someone has put a string of negative reviews about The Vic online, each one mentioning her.

Alfie has his suspicions about the online troll and thinks Zoe could be behind it. In order to appease Kat, Alfie asks Freddie to look into the negative reviews and try to identify who wrote them.

As Kat continues to defend her daughter, Alfie’s patience soon reaches its limit. He orders Zoe to move out, but their heated chat is interrupted by a noise coming from downstairs…
