EastEnders drops another Zoe bombshell in advanced spoilers – as Kat makes worrying discovery

Zoe Slater’s return in EastEnders has led to one drama after another – she has a missing child, she almost killed a man, she’s been sleeping with Max Branning, to name a few – and it looks like she’s got another secret up her sleeve that’s set to rock her family soon.

The BBC has released advanced – if vague – spoilers for the episodes airing later in October, and it looks like the Slaters will be featuring quite heavily.

While details are a bit thin on the ground at the moment, we know that Kat will be concerned about her family and decides to face things directly, which leads to Zoe dropping another major bombshell.

Following the revelation that Dennis Rickman was the father of her twins, what more could Zoe have to share?

It doesn’t look like it will be the main storyline of the week, however.

That honour goes to Nigel Bates, with the spoilers revealing that he’ll do something bad that his wife Julie will cover up. It will lead to a clash as Nigel is insistent on being honest.

The timing of this storyline is interesting, as Phil Mitchell is away in Portugal for a few weeks. He’s clashed quite a lot with Julie over how to handle Nigel and his dementia, so will the events of this week affect that dynamic?
