Zoe’s Explosive Paternity Reveal 👶
The mystery of who fathered Zoe Slater’s twins has been solved. Following a tense confrontation with Sharon Watts and Vicki Fowler, Zoe, in need of money to find her son, dropped the bombshell that Sharon’s late husband, Dennis Rickman, is the father. The timeline of Dennis’s death in 2005 and Zoe’s birth in 2006 makes the story plausible. This revelation comes after Zoe’s tumultuous return, which included a shooting, a flashback to her secret twin birth, and a dangerous hostage situation. While the news has left Sharon reeling from the betrayal, some viewers are skeptical, given Zoe’s history of deception.
A New Mystery in Albert Square 🔍
A mysterious newcomer named Jasmine has arrived in Walford, and her presence is already causing a stir. She secured a job at The Albert, but immediately created tension with bar manager Elaine Knight, who distrusts her. Oscar Branning has also taken an interest in Jasmine, despite warnings from Cindy Beale. Fans on social media are already speculating about her past, with some suggesting she could be Zoe Slater’s long-lost child. Jasmine is played by Indiana Donaldson Wholess, an actress known for her roles in “Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie” and “Save Me.”
Natalie Cassidy Reflects on Her Departure 👋
Former EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy, who played Sonia Fowler, has shared her reflections on leaving the show after three decades. She told Prima magazine that her departure has given her a new sense of “freedom” and independence. Cassidy, who recently turned 40, sees this as a “turning point” in her life, where she can embrace a more glamorous persona and “feel like myself again” after portraying Sonia’s less glamorous character for so long. She has even noticed her face looks different, with softened frown lines, which she attributes to the reduced stress of the role. While she’s enjoying her new chapter, she “wouldn’t rule out making a comeback for short stints.”
