EastEnders fans finally know the identity of Zoe Slater’s daughter who she believed died 19 years ago
The identity of Zoe Slater’s daughter has been revealed in a shocking EastEnders twist.
Earlier this year, fans watched flashback scenes of Zoe (Michelle Ryan) giving birth to two babies in 2006, though she ordered midwives to place her son up for adoption and fled the hospital before she could learn the fate of her daughter, who was critically ill.
Zoe originally told Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) that the baby daddy washer ex-husband Dennis Rickman (Nigel Harman), hoping that she would splash the cash to pay for a private investigator to track her long-lost son down.
Sharon got someone on the case, desperate for any sort of connection to her dearly departed Dennis but Zoe’s lie was soon outed, and the PI was called off.
Since then, the search has become somewhat overshadowed by a mystery tormenter that has subjected Zoe to a torrent of abuse with Zoe seeking support from ex Anthony Trueman (Nicholas Bailey).

Little did she realise, he was displaying somewhat of a sinister obsession with her, looking through several saved photos on his laptop.
During Monday’s (December 15) episode, the GP headed to Walford General to meet an acquaintance who had applied for a job at the Panesar House Surgery.
Dr Anthony asked her if he was able to obtain hospital records for one of his patients, saying that it would benefit her application.
The woman produced a number of documents, and he soon confirmed that they belonged to Zoe. Anthony did some quick calculations with the babies’ birth date, and concluded that he must be the father.

There was another very intriguing detail on the papers stating that Zoe’s baby girl had been resuscitated and also placed up for adoption.
On the other side of Walford, Jasmine Fisher (Indeyarna Donaldson-Holness) had been carted into the police station following fears that she was connected to the criminals who targeted Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins).

Officers were confused why her parents had been listed as ‘unknown’, and she explained that she was adopted, having recently moved to East London to track down her birth mother, Zoe.
Following the double bombshell, one fan penned on X, formerly known as Twitter: “I think we all could’ve guessed it. Will be interesting to see how it plays out at Christmas.”

Another added: “Jasmine being exactly who we all said she was as soon as she joined us so chuffing underwhelming #EastEnders.”
A third person wrote: “I’m actually shocked at how easy it was to guess #EastEnders.”
A fourth said: “OF COURSE Jasmine is the daughter of Zoe and Psycho Doc Anthony Trueman! Question is, will the (probable) stalker become the stalkee -daughter stalked by Dad?! Let’s face it, he already has a restraining order on him! #Eastenders.”
A fifth fan moaned: “Wow didn’t see that coming! NOT. Jesus Christ that was so predictable #eastenders.”
How will Zoe react when she learns that her daughter is still alive and where is Jasmine’s twin brother?
