EastEnders advance spoilers confirm new character arrives and Zoe Slater devastates one resident
Who does Zoe upset?
Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) looks set to upset one EastEnders local, some early teasers have confirmed.
Having been shot in Albert Square shortly after reuniting with estranged mum Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace), Zoe was revealed to have a connection to Max Branning (Jake Wood), and to have suffered the loss of a baby girl back in 2006.
She was also caught up in another possible murder!
While Zoe will first aim to get to the bottom of this particular problem, it won't be long before she is leaving a mystery character devastated.
But who does Zoe leave heartbroken, and what has she said to them?
EastEnders will no doubt be keeping the exact nature of this twist under wraps until transmission, but while we wait for the big moment, there's plenty more to delve into from BBC's official spoiler lines.
A newcomer called Jasmine is about to cause trouble for Freddie Slater (Bobby Brazier), but who is she and where does this leave Freddie?
With Brazier due to leave his role, is this story linked to his exit?
Also, as Freddie's relative Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) is also departing, it looks like she has an announcement to make.
Meanwhile, Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) will lose her temper, but it's anyone's guess whether this is related to her stepson Joel Marshall's (Max Murray) vile attitude, or about something else entirely.
There's also fresh drama for Peter Beale (Thomas Law) and Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa), but why is Peter behaving strangely, and what is he up to by the end of the week?
You can dive into all the advanced spoilers below to find out what happens when.
