Zoe’s Explosive Confession In EastEnders
Drama unfolded at the pub after Vicki and Zoe had a fierce clash. Even Anthony Trueman and Zack Hudson tried to intervene and stop the two women. However, neither was ready to bow down. Zack even injured himself while trying to calm things down.
When Sharon learnt that Zoe was involved in the fight, she got furious. She had previously sorted things out with her. Despite this, she didn’t stop. Sharon then stormed into the pub and wanted to confront Zoe. The fight turned ugly when Zoe revealed a shocking truth to everyone. Sharon was left speechless after hearing Zoe. Zoe claimed that she had given up a baby years ago. And that now she wants to find him. However, when she revealed the identity of the father, Sharon couldn’t hold back her tears.
Zoe then informed her that the father was none other than Sharon’s ex-husband, Dennis Rickman. Sharon was frozen. She couldn’t believe that her beloved Dennis. The man she had once planned a life with was dragged into Zoe’s secret. We are all aware of Dennis and Zoe’s history now. Over two decades ago, Zoe and Dennis had lived together for a while. However, Dennis always loved Sharon, and his heart only belonged to her. But to keep Dennis close to her, she revealed that she was pregnant with his baby. It was a fake plan to keep him away from Sharon.
Anthony Trueman Or Someone Else?
Sharon’s father, Den, was behind all this. He even suggested that Zoe sleep with him so that she gets pregnant for real. However, Dennis soon found them in the same bed. He then left to mend things with Sharon. Johnny Allen’s men later killed Dennis in 2006. And it was the end of Sharon and Dennis’s love story. And now Zoe is bringing the past back, saying Dennis was the father.
However, fans are not convinced. Many fans on social media feel this is a plot to hurt Sharon. One viewer on X wrote: “I don’t believe it for a second. Zoe just wanted to upset Sharon. There’s no way Dennis is the dad.” Another one added:” This makes no sense. Dennis would never betray Sharon that way. They can’t change history just like that.” It was clear that fans were not ready to believe that Dennis was the father of Zoe’s kids.
Many fans believe Anthony Trueman is more likely to be the real dad. We saw in a recent episode that Anthony tried to kiss Zoe. However, she rejected him. Fans then connected the dots. They said his return can’t just be a coincidence. “It’s obvious,” one fan wrote on Reddit. “Anthony is the father, and Jasmine is their daughter.”
Some fans even believe that the baby is still alive. One viewer wrote: “Zoe knows Sharon lost Denny. She’s using that grief to garner sympathy and financial gain. It’s cruel.” Fans now want to know the real truth. For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, keep following Soap Opera Daily.
