Zoe Slater may be in grave danger, as she has gone to a person for help after being ‘forced to leave’ the Queen Vic. Feeling no one believed her about her stalker, including mum Kat, Zoe said she had to get out of the pub and turned to person that was described as a “danger to women”.
In episodes airing on Tuesday (2 December), Zoe confronts her brother Tommy after discovering an empty box of fairy lights in his. As the lights had been used to spell out “Die” on the Queen Vic windows, she accused him of being her stalker. However, it was revealed that Tommy had no clue what the light box was doing in his bag and was instead upstairs to rehearse his lines for Nigel’s film.

Rather than reveal a culprit, Zoe’s accusations pushed Kat to the edge and she told her daughter that “this has to stop”. Kat was angry that Zoe keeps making a scene, as she had also threatened to bar Vicki Fowler and Ross Marshall from the bar.
Zoe took this as a sign that her mother had given up on her and was forcing her out of the pub. As her cousin Freddie’s going away party continued, Zoe interrupted the festivities to say she was moving out and yelled at the pub’s punters for not standing by her. She then said her “so-called mother” was “kicking her out”. Kat protested, but Zoe left anyway.
And she ran straight into the arms on Anthony Trueman. Unbeknownst to Zoe, her former flame has been keeping images of her on his laptop and fans have theorised that he might be the one terrorising her. But this isn’t the only proof he is a dangerous man.
Earlier in the episode, Anthony had threatened to tell Kim Fox about her fiance Howie’s stealing, but Howie fought back by calling Anthony’s estranged wife Sophie. She revealed that she had a restraining order out against Anthony.

When Howie confronted Anthony, the reason for the restraining order wasn’t revealed but he did call the doctor a “danger to women” especially when they don’t give him what he wants. In a previous episode, after Zoe turned down a date with Anthony, he got very angry, and told her he didn’t want to be around her because he didn’t want to “waste his time”.
One fan said that Anthony was “overreacting” to Zoe and that it made him look suspicious: “Anthony is well over reacting about Zoe not wanting to take it further with him. It’s like he needs her for something other than the obvious. Does make you wonder if he is the tormentor as when he was in it first time he wasn’t this desperate.”
Another added, “They’ve turned Anthony into a proper wrongun haven’t they!” and continued to say, “Zoe’s now in danger with Anthony too.”
A third said: “I hope Anthony doesn’t hurt Zoe.” A fourth said: “Is Anthony the one who has had a mental psychotic breakdown?” A fifth, remembering how apprehensive Kat was about Anthony, said: “Kat is right as well about Anthony.”
