Teddy Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) and Gina Knight (Francesca Henry) become increasingly anxious amid unfolding events.  Gina attempts to divert her attention from the mounting concerns. These scenes air week beginning Monday 13 October 2025 on BBC One / BBC One HD / BBC iPlayer. In tonight's gripping episode of EastEnders on Monday 16 June 2025, Zoe Slater (portrayed by Michelle Ryan) made a dramatic comeback, with more turmoil expected as she prepares to return to Walford - full-time - later this year.  Absent from Albert Square for two decades, Zoe remains a legendary figure in EastEnders history, forever etched in fans' memories for her role in iconic plots, including the unforgettable "You ain’t my mother" storyline, still quoted today. In 2001, it was revealed that Zoe, the youngest of the Slater sisters, was actually the daughter of Walford's beloved Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace), sparking a 24-year saga of bitterness between the mother and daughter. Zoe is tied to one of the programme's more darker storylines involving family inbreeding, as her mum and dad are niece and uncle. Zoe's time in Walford was marked by a series of doomed romances, none more destructive than her affair with Dennis Rickman (Nigel Harman). This led to her entanglement in the murder of Den Watts, alongside Chrissie Watts (Tracy-Ann Oberman) and Sam Mitchell (Kim Medcalf), following her secret pregnancy with Den. In 2005, Zoe left Walford after confessing her part in Den's murder and briefly reconciling with Kat, however, their fragile bond crumbled during her years away, leaving them estranged once more. With two decades of unresolved resentment, fractured family ties, and siblings she’s yet to meet, Zoe's return promises to be a turbulent journey. The path back to Walford will be fraught with challenges, setting the stage for an unmissable chapter in EastEnders.  Ben Wadey (Executive Producer - EastEnders) Ben Wadey, who took the reins of BBC's juggernaut Serial Drama from Chris Clenshaw earlier this year and this evening's episode marked his first as Executive Producer. Ben Wadey, said: "Before I even stepped into the role, Zoe Slater was on my wish-list of returnees as although we haven't seen her on screen for twenty years, her character has transcended time due to her popular storylines. I was absolutely delighted when Michelle agreed to return, and I'm thrilled to welcome her back to Walford. Whilst I can't say too much at this stage, Zoe's return is just one of the many exciting storylines we have planned."  © 2025: BBC / EastEnders / Elstree Studios Michelle Ryan, said: "It all happened at the right time. I'd already been thinking about a return because I'd met up with Kacey Ainsworth (Little Mo) and Kim Medcalf (Sam Mitchell) and we were reminiscing our fond memories of the show, and I'd also joined Social Media and saw that there was still a lot of love for the character. It just so happened that at the same time, EastEnders had announced a new Exec who was keen to explore the potential of a return as he was such a massive fan of Zoe and the Slaters, so both of our worlds aligned at the right time, and I'm so excited to be back. When Ben pitched me the storylines, and when I read the scripts, I knew it was the right decision." Michelle, concludes: "It feels like coming home. After doing my first few scenes, it was like I'd never been away. I can’t say too much as there is a lot of drama to come, but Zoe is a mess. She's not the girl that left Walford twenty years ago, and she's been really struggling on her own. She has her defences up, but this week you will see that she needs help, but whether she is willing to accept it is another story". EastEnders continues on BBC One / BBC One HD / BBC iPlayer. BBC RELEASE FIRST-LOOK IMAGES OF A BRAND NEW WALFORD AS EASTENDERS MOVES HOUSE | EASTENDERS11/1/2022  First look images of the new Albert Square, and the iconic Queen Victoria Pub, have been released as filming starts on the new EastEnders set today (Tuesday 11 January 2022).  The new set replaces the former Albert Square which - having been built in 1984 with an intention to be used for two years – is no longer fit for purpose.

EastEnders continues on BBC One.  Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker) arrived at 53A Turpin Road to take Violet "Vi" Highway (Gwen Taylor) out for the day. Stuart Highway (Ricky Champ) was enthusiastic for his grandmother to spend a lunch-date with Patrick. Making a joke at Patrick's expense, Violet said she's "doing her bit for the oldies". As Violet put her coat on, Stuart playfully/cheekily pressed for answers on where Patrick was taking his grandmother. Patick suggested they were going up west but Violet was getting somewhat flustered with Stuart's questioning. Rainie Highway (Tanya Franks) got in on the teasing and told Patrick she wants Violet back in one piece. When Stuart & Rainie left the room, Patrick turned to Violet and suggested she should think about telling them about what they were up to. Violet couldn't bring herself to tell Stuart the reason she & Patrick are going out was to try and track down the son she gave up for adoption many years ago. Trying to maintain reason, Patick told Violet that Stuart & Rainie will find out sooner or later but Violet would rather wait to cross that bridge when she gets to it.  At an Adoption Agency, Violet poured her heart out to a representative called Harriet (Alison Dowling) in hope she can help. Violet gave her son away 35 years ago when she was in her 50's. Furthermore, Violet told Harriet that she hopes to explain everything to the child she gave away all those years ago. The meeting progressed further and Violet revealed to Harriet the birthdate of Christopher - the boy she gave away - as Saturday 11 January 1986.  When asked about Christopher's birth-father, Violet was dismissive. Then hoped his adopted parents kept his name as Christopher. More than jumping the gun, Violet expected to speak to Christopher there and then but Harriet told her to be more cautious and manage her expectations. Harriet told Violet the first move would be to see if Christopher has been in-touch with the agency to register his vito. If he did register his vito then that means he won't want to be contacted. This upsetted Violet. It got worse for Violet when Harriet explained if Christopher hadn't registered his vito then it might take a number of months before he could be located. Giving his support, Patrick asked Harriet if there was any possibility of speeding up the process but Harriet was firm and reiterated the process takes time. Harriet went into further details and said Christopher might have died or other upsetting information may come to light. Violet was shaken at the thoughts. Harriet suggested to Violet to be absolutely sure it's what she wants to do.  Arriving back on The Square, Rainie & Stuart spot Violet & Patrick exiting a black cab thinking they had just come back from having lunch "up west". Speaking amongst Bridge Street Market, Violet started to argue with Patrick because she was frustrated at how the appointment earlier in the day went. Rainie clocked Patrick storming off so went to confront him about it a little later when he was at The Queen Vic having a drink. Asking many questions, Rainie tried to get the truth out of Patrick but he kept his counsel. However when Rainie said she would keep on digging for answers, Patrick opened up a little saying Violet received some bad news and it isn't his place to say.  Back at home, Rainie sees Violet crying and tells her what Patrick said in The Queen Vic earlier. Violet told Rainie that Patrick had no right to mention anything.  Weakened with emotion, it wasn't long before Violet dropped the bombshell on Rainie - telling her everything about Christopher as episode 6,377 aired its Doof Doof. EastEnders continues tomorrow, at 19:40, on BBC One. Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) returned to 31 Albert Square, exhausted, after spending time with Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall) at a nearby Children's medical facility. The worried mother revealed Tommy has broken his ankle as well as damaged the sprain further. Visibly, Kat was annoyed with Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) and Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) who were sympathetic towards Tommy's condition however, Kat still blames the two women for the predicament Tommy is in.  Trying to make things right, Jean suggested they throw Tommy a massive "Get Well Soon" party when he is discharged but Kat firmly told Jean that no amount of cake or ice cream will make up for the fact Tommy's *footballing career might be over. When Kat left to go and sort something over at Phil's house, Stacey told Jean she was up half the night looking for somewhere to live since Suki Kaur Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) wants The Slaters out of her property. Not only that, Stacey is worried when her Probation Officer starts sniffing around, she might end up back in prison because Jean sent Eve Unwin (Heather Peace) - Stacey's wife - away.  Later, Stacy headed over to 5 Albert Square to speak with Kheerat Panesar (Jaz Deol) and immediately started to flirt. Stacey told Kheerat she would like to resolve all the bad blood between The Slaters & The Panesars and hopes Kheerat could talk to Suki about the eviction, putting in a good word for the troubled family. Kheerat told Stacey he would love to help but his hands are tied. Stacey then told Kheerat she was wanting to get some stability back in her kids' lives. Feeling generous, Kheerat soon gave in and told Stacey he would have a word with Suki.  It's clear there's still some sexual tension between Stacey & Kheerat. Taking a phone call from Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty), Stacey let herself out of The Panesars' flat and rushed off to the cafe where she came face-to-face with an intoxicated Eve who was having a go at Suki.  Trying to calm the situation down, Stacey attempted to get Eve back home but Suki reminded her that it won't be The Slaters' home but Eve let the alcohol get the better (or worse) of her and told Suki that her children would probably rather die than have a mother like her. Suki then told Stacey that Eve was a liability. Suki left the cafe then Stacey turned to Eve asking what she was playing at also wondering where she had been. Eve was too drunk to give any coherent answers.  Back at 31 Albert Square after sorting a minor - off-screen - incident, Kat was apologised to by Jean for Tommy's injuries but coming round Kat realised Tommy would probably have got injured eventually because of his obsession with playing football. The front door goes again and in comes Stacey with Eve in toe. As Eve plunked herself on the sofa, Stacey asked Kat & Jean for help in sobering Eve up because the Probation Officer would be arriving soon. Being plied with water, Eve is told to wise up by Stacey because if Probation senses anything wrong then it's likely she & Eve will be back serving time at Her Majesty's pleasure. Jean looked rather disgusted with the situation. It was a busy day for the front door at 31 Albert Square because when Eve tried to sober up, drinking water in the kitchen, the doorbell rang. As Stacey answered the bell, she pleaded with Jean to maintain a cover story. Stacey left the kitchen to answer the door then Eve told Jean she had brought too much trouble into her life and to go right ahead to tell the Probation Officer everything. In comes the Probation Officer and upstands Eve who turns to throw up into the kitchen sink. Jean gave Eve a chance and made up a story about how her Chicken Surprise meal may have needed longer to cook in the oven - suggesting Eve was suffering from suspected food poisoning. It was thanks to Jean the liaison with Eve's Probation Officer went smoothly. And episodes of Garden Rescue. The Probation Officer assessed that married life is good for Eve then left them to it. Just when you think 31 Albert Square's front door saw enough action for one episode, EastEnders managed to squeeze in one more use before the Doof Doof. In comes Suki (with Kheerat) who Eve believes is there for round 2. Kheerat stood up to Eve, Stacey & Jean and said he didn't appreciate Suki being insulted in public by Stacey's drunk wife.  Trying to defuse the situation, Stacey told Suki that Eve was sorry but Eve said she wasn't. Furthermore, Eve went on to brand Suki a bully and she doesn't like bullies. Attempting to get the upper hand over The Slaters, Suki pointed out she saw Eve's Probation Officer leave and she might want to tell her about Eve going AWOL. Jean stepped in and said Eve had been there all the time. Suki immediately pointed out that with Eve living there, The Slaters had broken the tenancy agreement and wanted the whole lot out by the end of the week. Jean said they have until Christmas but Suki explained "not anymore". EastEnders continues tomorrow, at 19:40, on BBC One.  A huge bombshell was dropped in tonight's (Monday 05 October 2020) episode of EastEnders. Since EastEnders returned after its break due to COVID-19, viewers have saw Frankie Lewis (Rose Ayling-Ellis) get close to The Carters. After giving Frankie a job at Prince Albert, Tina Carter (Luisa Bradshaw-White) thought Frankie fancied her because of all the looks Frankie had been given her.  Viewers thought Frankie has an unhealthy obsession with Oliver Carter (Harry Farr) as he looks like her brother who died. It was suggested, although never mentioned on-screen, Frankie were to abduct Oliver to replace her brother but that wasn't it either. Upon finding out Frankie took Oliver to the park all on her own, Mick Carter (Danny Dyer) became concerned because he, too, thought Frankie was going to do something to Oliver. Making a bolt for the park, Mick eventually caught-up with Frankie and after showing her Mick Carter's version of sympathy about her brother, Mick told Frankie to stay away from his family. Then, the bombshell was delivered in true Doof Doof style.  Frankie left Mick reeling after revealing his family may be her family as he might be her dad.
The fallout of this will be seen in tomorrow's (Tuesday) EastEnders on BBC One. In tonight's (Monday 05 October 2020) episode of EastEnders, Jags Panesar (Amar Adatia) was encouraged to tell his family about the relationship he's been having with Habiba Ahmed (Rukku Nahar).  Earlier in the episode, Suki Kaur Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) was seen with Jags' trousers that he wore when helping Martin Fowler after he was assaulted by Vinny Panesar (Shiv Jalota) in the MinuteMart a couple of weeks ago. Suki railed at her family for keeping the clothing in the house and reminded her children about what if the police came searching for evidence. Viewers thought Suki, herself, got rid of them but that wasn't case.  In The Queen Vic, Jags arrived to introduce his wide-eyed family to Habiba who came armed with a cupcake for Suki to break the ice.
It was obvious Suki didn't approve but after asking Jags if it were a serious relationship, he confirmed claiming his love for Habiba. Suki subsequently welcomed Habiba to the family as she quickly left the pub for a meeting. Out-of-sight, Suki distregarded Habiba's cupcake like a piece of rubbish and headed on her way. Later, viewers saw Suki speak to a Detective Inspector, who is in-charge of investigating Martin's assault. Suki then told the policeman that she saw Jags wear the jeans on the night of Martin's attack before handing over the garment to the detective thus turning her back on Jags. EastEnders continues tomorrow on BBC One. Since arriving in Walford, on-screen, Frankie Lewis (Rose Ayling Ellis) has been somewhat of a mystery character. Not much was known about her apart from she's deaf and the reason behind her insertion was to assist the already established Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden) as he went through his own battle with deafness.  Tonight's (Monday 14 Septemeber 2020) episode, viewers learnt of Frankie's troubled past as her backstory was explored. Frankie's brother tragically died at a fairly young age.  Frankie has been employed by Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) to work at The Albert under the management of Tina Carter (Luisa Bradshaw-White). When Frankie arrived for her shift, she and Tina had a conversation which revealed Frankie's brother's death. Frankie, a keen photographer, had a digital camera with her. Tina looked through the pictures to find images of a child (Frankie's brother) who looks remarkably like Tina's youngest sibling, Oliver Carter (Harry Farr). After their shift at The Albert, Tina took Frankie to The Queen Vic where they met with Tina's family. Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) and Mick Carter (Danny Dyer) exhanged plesantries while Oliver sat quietly at the table with his parents. Oliver gave Frankie a smile and the reaction on her face was almost euphoric.  As Linda & Mick teased Tina about maybe having a crush on Frankie, Frankie was sitting with Oliver and told him about her brother. Frankie's mannerisms were somewhat obsessive over the young boy.
Later, as Mick, Tina & Linda played football with Oliver on Bridge Street, EastEnders fans saw Frankie taking photograph after photograph after photograph of The Carters - more specifically Oliver. Since Frankie seemingly obsesses over her dead brother and the fact Oliver looks a dead ringer to the deceased sibling. As the BBC have previously revealed that Oliver Carter is to depart Tony Holland & Julia Smith's programme in the coming weeks, is this his exit storyline? Will Frankie abduct Oliver to replace her brother? Only time will tell. EastEnders continues tomorrow at 19:35 on BBC One. Since EastEnders returned to BBC One after CoronaVirus shut down production, the abused Chantelle Atkins (Jessica Plummer) has put the wheels-in-motion to divorce her abuser Gray Atkins (Toby-Alexander Smith) and take their children with her.  Trying to disguise her departure from Gray by making out it was a last minute holiday arranged by Karen Taylor (Lorraine Stanley) & Mitch Baker (Roger Griffiths), Chantelle had her suitcase packed full of her kids' things. All ready to make her move until Gray found out things weren't quite right with the whole arrangement.  Asking Mia Atkins (Mahalia Malcolm) about what she knew of the holiday, Gray was told by the girl that she knew about it for days thus meaning it was never a spur of the moment deal from Karen & Mitch.  At the Doof Doof of tonight's (Monday 14 September 2020) episode written by Pete Lawson, Gray was seen delivering another emotional blow to Chantelle by informing her he'd unpacked their children's things and made it out like he was giving Chantelle a well deserved break from the family.
As Mia & Mackenzie Atkins (Isaac Lemonius) waved from the upstairs windows, Chantelle's world - and plans - crumbled around her. Visibly upset, Chantelle had no choice but to go with her parents on holiday and leave her kids behind. Pete Lawson will continue the story tomorrow as EastEnders rolls on. |
