EastEnders Sparks Romance Rumors as Zoe Slater and Anthony Trueman Reconnect
Zoe Slater’s Dangerous Predicament
EastEnders fans are in for a tense ride as Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) faces the aftermath of a shocking encounter with Greg Dolan (Dean Williamson). After being shot, Zoe is understandably anxious and struggles to reach her former ally Max Branning (Jake Wood). With the threat of danger looming, Zoe turns to someone who recently saved her life—Dr. Anthony Trueman (Nicholas Bailey).
Anthony Trueman: Single and Protective
Anthony, now separated from his wife, is staying in Walford temporarily. During a candid conversation with Zoe, he reassures her that her strength and fire will return. “The Zoe I know would never have let anyone talk to her the way Vicki did,” he tells her, signaling his support and protective instincts. With Anthony single and clearly caring deeply for Zoe, fans are left wondering if a past spark between the two exes could reignite.
Motherly Intervention from Kat Moon
As tensions rise, Zoe’s mother Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) steps in to protect her daughter. After Zoe’s altercation with Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig), Kat promises no one will hurt Zoe as long as she is around. This moment frightens Zoe and reignites thoughts of Greg, prompting her to flee to Stacey Slater’s (Lacey Turner) house to pack her belongings. The protective presence of Kat underscores the high stakes and emotional intensity of Zoe’s current situation.
Stacey Slater Takes Charge
At Stacey’s house, Zoe confides about the attack and her fears regarding Greg. Stacey immediately asserts her involvement, warning Zoe that Kat would never forgive her for walking away again. Stacey is determined to help Zoe confront the situation. Despite Stacey asking Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) to investigate Greg’s whereabouts, Jack refuses—while secretly covering his own tracks regarding the shooting incident. This refusal adds another layer of tension, keeping viewers on edge.
Zoe Faces the Unknown
Later, Zoe reveals the full story of the attack and her confrontation with Greg. Still unsure whether Greg is dead or alive, Zoe’s anxiety intensifies. Stacey insists they must find out the truth, heightening suspense for viewers. With Anthony in close proximity, offering both protection and emotional support, Zoe is caught between past relationships, current dangers, and uncertain futures.
