EastEnders has dropped another jaw-dropping revelation with Zoe Slater’s explosive claim about the father of her twins—but fans aren’t convinced she’s telling the truth.

Zoe’s Shocking Confession

Since her dramatic return to Walford, Zoe (Michelle Ryan) has been desperate to track down the son she gave up for adoption after believing her daughter had died at birth.

In Tuesday’s episode, tensions boiled over when Zoe clashed with both Kat Slater and Vicki Fowler. But the biggest shock came in the Queen Vic when Sharon Watts pressed Zoe on why she’d returned.

Zoe’s answer stunned the pub:

“You wanna know who the father is? 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.”

The revelation left Sharon shaken, but fans immediately began to question whether Zoe’s words can be trusted.

Fans Cry Manipulation

On Reddit and social media, viewers suggested Zoe could be lying to manipulate Sharon into helping fund her search for her son.

One fan wrote: “Wouldn’t shock me if Zoe said he is the father to get money off Sharon.” Another added: “She thinks she can dangle one last piece of Dennis in front of Sharon to get what she wants.”

Others argued the storyline risks rewriting history:

• “Retconning what happened would be an utter joke,” one viewer complained.

• Another said: “He would have never cheated on Sharon, especially with Zoe, after everything that happened with Den.”

Still, the shock on Sharon’s face proved that, true or not, Zoe’s revelation has already set off ripples across the Square.

What Happens Next?

If Zoe is lying, her scheme could destroy any chance of reconciliation with Kat or Sharon. But if she’s telling the truth, the fallout would shake Walford to its core, rewriting Dennis Rickman’s legacy nearly 20 years after his death.

For now, fans remain divided—was Zoe’s confession a desperate ploy, or the soap’s latest hidden truth?
