EastEnders Explodes: Sharon Slaps Zoe in the Queen Vic After Dennis Bombshell
Albert Square was rocked in Wednesday night’s EastEnders as Sharon Watts and Zoe Slater came to blows in a showdown that stunned Queen Vic punters. What began as a war of words ended with a thunderous slap — and a feud that looks set to tear Walford apart.
Zoe’s Shocking Claim
The tension boiled over after Zoe dropped a jaw-dropping revelation: she claimed Sharon’s late husband, Dennis Rickman, fathered her child twenty years ago.
Dennis tragically died after being stabbed on New Year’s Eve 2005, but a flashback revealed Zoe secretly gave birth in 2006. According to Zoe, Dennis had visited her the day she left Walford, sparking suspicions of a betrayal that Sharon had never even considered.
Sharon, livid and reeling, confronted Zoe in front of the pub crowd: “So what you are saying? You had a quick bunk up behind my back?”
The Slap Heard Across the Square
When Zoe doubled down, refusing to backtrack, Sharon branded her a liar. The fury built until Sharon finally snapped, delivering a brutal slap that sent Zoe flying across the Vic floor.
Gasps filled the pub as Kat Slater and Vicki Fowler rushed to separate the women. Sharon, her voice breaking with rage, shouted: “Dennis would never cheat on me! Ever!”
But Zoe, defiant and cold, spat back a line guaranteed to twist the knife: “Oh, but he did.”
Walford at War
The fallout has already divided the Square. Some are siding with Sharon, believing Dennis’s love for her was unshakable. Others can’t ignore Zoe’s conviction — and the haunting possibility that her claim could be true.
With Kat and Vicki dragged into the fray and long-buried history being rewritten, the stage is set for one of EastEnders’ most explosive feuds in years.
What Happens Next?
Is Zoe lying to shake Sharon’s foundations, or is she holding onto a devastating truth? Could a DNA test blow the storyline wide open? And if Dennis really was Zoe’s child’s father, how will Sharon cope with the ultimate betrayal from beyond the grave?
One thing’s for certain: the Slaters and the Watts are on a collision course — and the Queen Vic may never be the same again.
