EastEnders to Air Explosive Zoe and Kat Feud – Before a Confession Changes Everything
Zoe Crosses the Line
Next week on EastEnders, Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) takes her search for her long-lost son to dangerous new lengths, stealing from her own mother Kat (Jessie Wallace) in a desperate act that reignites their long-simmering feud.
After Kat promises to help Zoe find the twin she gave up for adoption nearly two decades ago, she’s horrified to discover that her daughter has gone behind her back—nicking money from The Vic’s till to hire a private investigator.
“Kat is understandably livid,” a show insider revealed. “On the same day she offers to help, Zoe betrays her. It’s a huge slap in the face for Kat and Alfie—but Zoe’s despair shows just how far she’s willing to go.”
A Mother’s Anger and a Daughter’s Desperation
Unwilling to wait for Sharon (Letitia Dean)—who had agreed to fund the private investigator but is away—Zoe takes matters into her own hands. Kat, realising money has gone missing, follows her daughter to a secret meeting with the PI and catches her in the act.
What should have been a calm confrontation explodes into yet another mother–daughter showdown when Kat catches Zoe lying to the investigator. Furious and heartbroken, Kat storms home to Alfie (Shane Richie), declaring that Zoe must leave if she can’t show respect or responsibility.
Unbeknownst to Kat, Zoe overhears every word.
A Fleeting Truce – and a Shocking Outburst
A distraction briefly brings the pair together when a stray kitten becomes trapped in The Vic, and Zoe rushes to the rescue. The moment softens Kat’s anger, and the two finally manage to share a fragile reconciliation.
But the peace doesn’t last long. Later, when Kat pushes Zoe to open up about what’s really driving her reckless behaviour, Zoe breaks—unleashing a bombshell confession that changes everything between them.
“Zoe drops a huge revelation,” teased the insider. “It’s emotional, raw, and completely alters how Kat sees her daughter’s pain. Viewers will be stunned by what she admits.”
What Comes Next for Zoe and Kat?
Zoe’s confession could finally reveal the truth about her missing son—and the heartbreak that has haunted her since his birth. But as Kat processes the truth, can the Slater matriarch forgive her daughter, or will this be the final crack that breaks their bond forever?
