EastEnders: Zoe Makes A Dash For It After Emotional Reunion With Stacey
Zoe Slater, played by Michelle Ryan, came back onto EastEnders after a nearly 20-year absence only to leave again. She had been sharing a London flat with Stacey, but it was not long before Stacey learnt that Zoe was not precisely in a great place.
Alfie Moon learnt the truth, but Zoe pleaded with Alfie not to inform Kat Moon of her location. Still, when Kat unexpectedly appeared, Zoe freaked out and went into hiding. She then escaped again, resolved not to confront her estranged mum.
Kat’s suspicion increased further when Alfie said he was off to Australia. He was going to Barcelona to search for Zoe. Later, Stacey defended Alfie by explaining that he needed some space following a scare about cancer.
The million-dollar question is: What did Zoe do that was “so bad” she had to flee?
