EastEnders Shocker: Vicki Fowler Slaps Zoe Slater as Explosive Feud Erupts in Albert Square
Rivalry Reignited
Walford descended into chaos in Tuesday’s episode of EastEnders as Vicki Fowler and Zoe Slater reignited their bitter feud in a full-scale brawl. The clash, which unfolded in Albert Square, stunned onlookers and transported fans back to the drama-filled days of the early 2000s.
What began as barbed words quickly spiraled into violence when Zoe taunted Vicki about her father, Den Watts, insisting he loved Sharon and Dennis more than her. Vicki snapped back with her own brutal dig about Zoe’s mother passing her off as her sister — and that’s when tempers boiled over.
The Slap Heard Around the Square
Zoe shoved Vicki to the ground, snarling, “You don’t want to mess with me.” But Vicki wasn’t backing down. Rising to her feet, she shoved Zoe from behind and shouted, “I didn’t. But I do now,” before slapping her rival twice across the face.
Residents looked on in shock as Vicki spat out: “That is for burying my dad under the Vic.” Zack tried to break it up but only injured himself, while Anthony rushed to Zoe’s side. Zoe, defiant as ever, hurled a cruel parting shot: “You know your dad… he never really loved you.”
Before storming off, Vicki left Zoe with a chilling warning: “One day, when you least expect it, you’re going to get what’s coming to ya.”
Sharon Confronts Zoe — and a Bombshell Drops
Later, tensions escalated further when Zoe clashed with Sharon Watts, newly returned to the Square. Zoe dredged up the past, reminding Sharon how Den coerced her into bed. But then she delivered a shocking revelation that left Sharon reeling.
“You wanna know who the father is?” Zoe teased, before dropping the bombshell: “Not your dad’s. Your husband’s. Twenty years ago, Dennis Rickman slept with me. That’s right, Sharon. Precious Dennis… he got me pregnant.”
Fans were floored as Sharon struggled to process the tainted memory of her late husband. The cliffhanger ended with the revelation that Zoe’s child — given up for adoption in 2006 — was the result of her affair with Dennis.
Final Thoughts
Tuesday’s EastEnders delivered high drama, physical confrontations, and a bombshell secret that could change Sharon’s world forever. With Vicki and Zoe’s feud reignited and a decades-old scandal unearthed, Albert Square is set for even more explosive fallout.
