EastEnders Spoilers: Explosive Fallout as Zoe Slater’s Baby Bombshell Rocks Walford

EastEnders fans were left stunned after Zoe Slater finally confessed that Dennis Rickman is not the father of her twins, setting the stage for one of Walford’s most dramatic weeks in recent memory. With secrets exposed, returning faces, and a Halloween showdown on the horizon, chaos is about to descend on the Queen Vic once again.


The Truth Finally Comes Out

Tonight’s emotional episode saw Zoe buckle under pressure after weeks of suspicion. Kat Slater, already sensing her niece was hiding something, demanded honesty — and Zoe finally cracked. “What I said earlier about not knowing who the father of my son is, it ain’t really Dennis Rickman,” she admitted, leaving Kat reeling.

The confession sent shockwaves through the family, ending Zoe’s web of lies and reigniting old wounds between the Slaters and the Rickmans. But while Zoe has admitted that Dennis isn’t the father, she’s still refusing to name who is — if she even knows.Alfie and Kat


Kat Can’t Keep Quiet

Next week, the tension explodes. As the Slater family tries to contain the fallout, Kat finds herself unable to hold back any longer. During quiz night at the Queen Vic, she overhears Vicki Fowler discussing Zoe’s son with Ross, and in a moment of fury and frustration, she blurts out Zoe’s secret in front of everyone.

The revelation brings quiz night to a screeching halt as Walford’s residents gasp in disbelief. Zoe is left humiliated, while Sharon and Vicki are devastated by the betrayal. The Slater matriarch’s impulsive decision soon spirals into a full-blown family war.Zoe and Anthony


Zoe’s Fury and a Halloween Meltdown

In the aftermath, Zoe lashes out, accusing Kat of destroying a photo of them together and vowing to leave Walford for good. As Kat and Alfie attempt to process the night’s chaos, a shocking discovery threatens to deepen the mystery — a VHS tape from the 1980s that Kat believes could reopen old wounds.

What secrets does the tape hold, and could it finally reveal the truth about Zoe’s son’s father?


Theories Point to Anthony Trueman

Viewers have wasted no time in piecing together clues. Many now believe the real father is Anthony Trueman, who was recently seen exchanging uneasy glances with Zoe and even attempting to kiss her.

One fan posted on X, “I actually knew Zoe was lying from the start — this just confirms it’s Anthony.” Another wrote, “Anthony still cares for Zoe, and his reaction said it all. I can’t see it being anyone else.”

If the theories prove right, it would mark a shocking full-circle moment, reviving one of EastEnders’ most complicated family ties and setting up a fiery confrontation between Anthony, Zoe, and Kat.The Last Samurai on X: "Thank Jesus. So glad they didn't do that to my boy.  Dennis Rickman was the best #EastEnders male character for good reason." / X


What’s Next for the Slaters?

As Zoe’s lies crumble and Kat’s betrayal sends ripples through Walford, the Slater family’s unity is under threat like never before. With Halloween week promising “chaos, revelations, and heartbreak,” one thing is certain — this is a secret that won’t stay buried for long.
