EastEnders<\/a> has seemingly ‘confirmed’ who is targeting Zoe Slater (played by Michelle Ryan) – though could it be a red-herring?<\/p>\n

Poor Zoe has been the victim of a cruel hate campaign<\/a> for weeks. First came the smashed pictures that were splattered with fake blood, then strange noises coming from the Queen Vic barrel store.<\/p>\n

If that wasn’t bad enough, her beloved cat Mini Mo then went missing, before suddenly turning up in a carrier under her bed.<\/p>\n

\"Zoe<\/p>\n

Zoe was convinced that Vicki was to blame.\u00a0BBC\/Jack Barnes\/Kieron McCarron<\/p>\n

With mum Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) and stepdad Alfie (Shane Richie) unwilling to believe her claims, Zoe then fabricated another incident, destroying a collection of family photos.<\/a><\/p>\n

This week, amid Alfie’s uncertainty, the trio were startled by yet another disturbance in the barrel store. Someone had clearly been in there, before spray painting a threatening message on the door.<\/p>\n

With confirmation that somebody really was targeting Zoe, Kat and Alfie had no choice but to support her.<\/p>\n

In today’s instalment, Alfie found a paint stained earring in the alleyway behind the pub. Zoe made it her mission to find out who had dropped it there – convinced that it belonged to Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig).<\/p>\n

Going rogue, she smashed a pane of glass in Vicki’s door and let herself into her house. Rifling through her jewellery, she couldn’t find a matching piece and was soon caught in the act by Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth).<\/p>\n

\"Jean<\/p>\n

Could Jean be responsible?\u00a0BBC\/Jack Barnes\/Kieron McCarron<\/p>\n

She marched Zoe home, and Kat apologised for the trouble. If they were going to get to the bottom of the situation, they’d have to do it properly.<\/p>\n

However, later that night, the culprit seemed to step forward and reveal themselves to Kat and Alfie. It was none other than Jean Slater (Gillian Wright)!<\/p>\n

She thanked them for finding her missing earring, but is she really the one coming after Zoe?<\/p>\n
