Zoe Confesses a Dark Secret

Drama explodes in Walford next week as Zoe Slater finally confides in Stacey about a terrifying secret. Still recovering from her gunshot wound, Zoe admits that she had a violent fight with Greg the last time she visited his flat. The shocking twist? She fears their struggle may have ended with Greg’s death.

Stacey is floored by the revelation but wastes no time urging Zoe to take action. “Living in limbo is tearing you apart,” Stacey insists, pushing her cousin to face the truth head-on.

A Dangerous Stakeout

The Slater women soon find themselves on a high-stakes mission. Determined to learn whether Greg is still alive, Zoe and Stacey decide to stake out his flat. The tension rises as they weigh the risks. If Greg opens the door, he could lash out in anger. But if he doesn’t, Zoe may have to confront the horrifying idea that she killed him.

The danger is real, and Zoe’s torment only deepens as she prepares for answers she may not be ready to face.

Feuds and Family Drama Erupt

Back in Walford, Zoe’s return sparks more chaos. Arriving on crutches, she’s welcomed warmly by her family, but it doesn’t take long for old wounds to resurface. At the café, Vicki Fowler confronts Zoe about Den’s death, reminding everyone of Zoe’s violent past.

The confrontation quickly spirals out of control. Kathy and Anthony try to intervene, while Zack steps in to calm tensions. But the clash only intensifies, following Zoe and Vicki straight into The Albert where tempers boil over once more.

Zoe Feels the Pressure

Zoe attempts to relax at The Vic, but her night is shattered when she discovers an article about the recent shooting. Thanks to Freddie Slater and Mo Harris leaking details online, Zoe fears her enemies now have dangerous information.

Panic sets in. Convinced she’s putting her loved ones at risk, Zoe secretly leaves a message for someone from her past. Could she be reaching out to Max Branning for protection, or is another ally waiting in the wings?

Her fear escalates so much that she begins packing her bags, determined to leave Walford to shield her family. Stacey refuses to let her go, insisting Zoe must face the threat rather than run away yet again.

Jack Refuses to Step In

Hoping for backup, Stacey turns to Jack Branning. But guilt from the recent shooting leaves Jack unwilling to involve himself in Zoe’s mess. His refusal forces the Slater cousins to handle the danger alone — no police, no allies, just their own determination.

Will Zoe Learn the Truth About Greg?

As Zoe and Stacey prepare to confront Greg’s fate, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Is Greg alive and waiting to strike back? Or has Zoe accidentally taken a life and reopened a nightmare from her past?

One thing is certain: Walford is bracing for fallout. And whether Greg lives or dies, Zoe Slater’s world will never be the same.
