\n\t\tZoe\u2019s past is catching up with her (Picture: BBC\/Jack Barnes\/Matt Burlem)<\/p>\n
Zoe Slater<\/a> (Michelle Ryan<\/a>) is being haunted by her past in EastEnders, as she quickly tried to conceal information from mum Kat Moon<\/a> (Jessie Wallace<\/a>)<\/p>\n Last week, the\u00a0BBC<\/a>\u00a0soap legend made a spectacular return to Albert Square after two decades away, with a series of flashbacks giving us a glimpse of what life has looked like for her during that time.<\/p>\n After being shot by either\u00a0Jack Branning<\/a>\u00a0(Scott Maslen<\/a>) or\u00a0Ravi Gulati<\/a>\u00a0(Aaron Thiara<\/a>) \u2013 who were brawling\u00a0over who got their hands on a gun<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 she was left fighting for her life.<\/p>\n As Zoe faded in and out of consciousness, we were firstly taken back to 2006.<\/p>\n We learnt that she had a traumatic labour,\u00a0giving birth to twins<\/a> \u2013 one of whom possibly didn\u2019t survive. The other, a boy, was placed up for adoption after she claimed he had \u2018bad blood\u2019.<\/p>\n We\u2019re still none the wiser as to who could of fathered the children, though it\u2019s possible that this is why Zoe is acting so cagey about their existence.<\/p>\n In the years that have followed she\u2019s desperately searched for her son, exhausting all of her finances on a dodgy PI who claimed that he could help her.<\/p>\n Rather surprisingly,\u00a0she bumped into Max Branning (Jake Wood)<\/a>\u00a0in a bar and he offered the 5k she needed to get crucial information on his whereabouts.<\/p>\n \t\t \t\t The private investigator, Greg Dolan (Dean Williamson), wasn\u2019t willing to tell her everything without even more cash, and he tried to force himself on Zoe, saying that he could think of an alternative way of payment.<\/p>\n She was disgusted, and picked up a lampshade \u2013 whacking him several times over the head and\u00a0knocking him unconscious<\/a>.<\/p>\n Does Kat know about Zoe\u2019s children?<\/p>\n When Zoe lay on the floor of The Queen Vic hallway, Kat noticed a tattoo on her body.<\/p>\n The artwork showed two footprints, surrounded by angel wings and a halo. It was at this moment that Kat knew that she\u2019d lost at least one child.<\/p>\n \t\t In the ambulance, as Zoe\u2019s condition worsened, Kat implored her daughter to open up more and talk about years gone by. When asked about how many children she had, Zoe simply lifted two fingers.<\/p>\n Zoe covers her tracks<\/p>\n In tonight\u2019s episode, Zoe was clearly fearful of her mum doing some digging and finding out about her attack on Greg.<\/a><\/p>\n At her hospital bed, a nurse told Kat that she\u2019d had an unsettled night and kept pressing the panic button so that someone would sit with her. She didn\u2019t want to be alone.<\/p>\n On the outside, this may seem like she\u2019s simply on edge after her attack, but it\u2019s more likely that she\u2019s fearful of Greg discovering her location.<\/p>\n Kat was eager to get more answers, pressing her about the \u2018enemy\u2019 she had been avoiding.<\/p>\n \t\t \t\t\t\tFollow Metro Soaps on WhatsApp and get all the latest spoilers first!\t\t\t<\/p>\n Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?
