EastEnders Viewers Left Stunned After Episode Disappears.
The programme was not released online at the expected Sunday hour. Instead, it was only broadcast on BBC One at the regular interval.
This move came as Zoe Slater’s return kept raising mystery. Her return raised more than an eyebrow, and this delay poured fuel on the fire.
The delay of episodes seemed intentional. With Zoe’s presence causing tension in the Slater family home, producers might be hiding something big.
BBC has delayed episodes before but only when something big was brewing. This strange release timing suggests the team is keeping a major twist under wraps.
Another Exit, and Still No Closure
To make matters more mysterious, she left the Square again that same week. She remained with Stacey while avoiding her mother, Kat. Zoe jumped out of the window as Kat arrived at Stacey’s flat.
She said she had done something really awful in a voicemail she left for Stacey later. She warned her not to go searching for her either.
Zoe’s threat was terrifying, and her dramatic exit left audiences with more questions. Her return may have been brief, but its effects could last much longer. For more such EastEnders spoilers & updates, follow Soap Opera Daily.
