EastEnders Orchestrates Zoe Slater’s Return as Gunshot Cliffhanger Prompts Rare BBC Simulcast

The BBC is withholding the early iPlayer release to create a shared 7:30pm reveal for all viewers.

Overview

  • Tuesday’s episode ended with a gun going off during a Jack BranningRavi Gulati struggle, with the victim not yet confirmed.
  • Zoe Slater returned on-screen after 20 years and reunited with Kat in a scene that deliberately echoed their original landmark moment.
  • Producers say Zoe’s comeback carries multiple secrets set to shake the Slaters, with major revelations positioned for tonight’s broadcast.
  • The BBC will simulcast Wednesday’s episode on BBC One and iPlayer at 7:30pm, pausing the usual early-morning streaming drop to protect spoilers.
  • Running alongside the Slater fallout, Jonno Highway reappears, is arrested by his son Callum, and later suffers a heart attack, according to upcoming storyline details.
