EastEnders Shocker: Zoe Slater’s Twins Reveal Sparks Fan Theories

Viewers of the long-running British soap opera, EastEnders, were left reeling after a shocking revelation in the latest episode concerning character Zoe Slater. The episode featured a flashback to 2006, during which it was revealed that Zoe had given birth to twins. Although it appeared that one of the babies—a girl—had died, many fans are now speculating that she might still be alive.

In the flashback sequence, Zoe finds herself in a hospital bed after delivering her twins. She quickly notices that only one infant, a boy, is beside her. Concerned, Zoe questions a nurse about the whereabouts of her daughter. The nurse informs her that the doctor will soon discuss the situation with her. Zoe, feeling overwhelmed, expresses her intention to place her son up for adoption, but the nurse advises her to consider her decision carefully. As the nurse leaves to fetch the doctor, Zoe makes a drastic choice and flees the hospital, leaving her baby boy behind.

Transitioning back to the present, Zoe, who is suffering from severe blood loss after a shooting, confesses to her friend Kat that she feels incapable of being a proper mother. Kat’s inquiry about the fate of Zoe’s children prompts this admission, which adds another layer of complexity to Zoe’s character. Fans also noticed Zoe’s angel tattoo, which they believe symbolizes her lost child.

Despite the assumption that Zoe’s daughter had died, many viewers took to social media, particularly X (formerly Twitter), to express their doubts. One viewer pointed out that the nurse never explicitly stated that the daughter had died, merely indicating that the doctor would speak with Zoe shortly. Others echoed this sentiment, suggesting that Zoe may have assumed the worst and commemorated her daughter with the tattoo.

There was also speculation surrounding the identity of the twins’ father. Viewers noted that based on the timeline, some believe that Den Watts could be the father, as Zoe had become pregnant after a brief encounter with him, although she had terminated that pregnancy. One viewer remarked on social media, “If anything, it’s Den’s baby.” Another added, “Wait, is Dirty Den the dad?”

In addition to Den, some fans speculated that Zoe’s former partner, Anthony Trueman, might be the father. One viewer recalled their brief affair, stating, “Anthony Trueman is the father; didn’t they have a fling?” This speculation has left viewers eager to learn more about the unfolding storyline.

Meanwhile, a surprising twist emerged as the character Max Branning made a comeback, having been in contact with Zoe. The reason for his calls remains unclear, further intensifying the intrigue surrounding Zoe’s story arc.

As the drama continues to unfold, fans are encouraged to stay tuned to EastEnders for more revelations and developments in this captivating narrative.
