Since her return to Albert Square, EastEnders legend Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) has been tormented by a mystery stalker.
She has been left terrified after finding a smashed, blood-smeared photo, suffered a violent attack and more recently received a sinister Christmas card.
It’s safe to say that her ordeal has been getting to her, and it seems it is far from over.
Tensions are high between the Slaters in upcoming scenes, as Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) attempts to calm agitated Zoe down, before her mystery stalker strikes again during Anna Knight (Molly Rainford) and Freddie Slater’s (Bobby Brazier) goodbye celebrations.
As the Christmas lights are switched on, an unnerving message is revealed in the window of the Queen Vic, and when Zoe later makes a discovery in Tommy Moon’s (Sonny Kendall) backpack, she is convinced that he is behind her ordeal.
However, it turns out that Zoe is on the wrong track – at least where the message was concerned.
In a surprise twist, Lily Slater (Lillia Turner) reveals to Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) that she saw her stage the nasty surprise!
Jean is unrepentant as she admits that she wants Zoe gone.
However, it seems that Jean may not be Zoe’s stalker, as she swears to Lily that the light stunt was the only thing she’s done to mess with her and scare her off.
Meanwhile, Tommy insists that he is innocent, but furious Zoe ends up lashing out at him, Kat and Alfie Moon (Shane Richie), before heading downstairs and rowing with Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) in the bar.
Unable to cope with Zoe’s behaviour, Kat has no choice but to ask her to leave, and she ends up seeking refuge from Anthony Trueman (Nicholas Bailey).
Unfortunately, it seems that Zoe’s stalker isn’t done with her yet.
As she bonds with Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) over her long-lost son, she is unaware that someone is watching them both…’
Are Jean and Tommy telling the truth about their involvement in Zoe’s torment, or will either one of them be revealed as her stalker?
