Halloween week in EastEnders is set to deliver jaw-dropping drama, dark secrets, and emotional chaos as Walford braces for one of its most

explosive weeks of the year. Between shocking returns, unexpected alliances, and a chilling night that no one will forget, next week’s episodes (October 27–30, 2025) promise pure soap gold. 🎃

 

 

Here are five huge spoilers that will keep fans glued to their screens — and yes, it’s going to be a spooky one for Zoe, Kat, and the Slater clan!

1️⃣ Zoe’s Halloween Nightmare Begins

Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) returns to Walford just in time for Halloween — but her homecoming is far from happy. What starts as a simple family reunion quickly turns into a nightmare when she begins to sense that something is seriously wrong in the Slater house.

 

 

Kat (Jessie Wallace) tries to make peace with her daughter after years of tension, decorating the house for Halloween and planning a family dinner. But as the night unfolds, Zoe’s past trauma resurfaces — and the walls of No.31 seem to close in around her.

Viewers will see eerie flashbacks, whispers from the past, and a disturbing moment when Zoe hears someone calling her name from the hallway — even though she’s home alone.

 

 

By the end of Monday’s episode, Zoe collapses in tears, whispering, “It’s happening again.”

Is Zoe losing her grip on reality — or is there something darker haunting the Slaters this Halloween?

2️⃣ Kat Faces a Ghost from Her Past

 

 

While Zoe struggles with her memories, Kat has her own demons to face. On Tuesday, she receives an anonymous letter that reads:

“You can’t bury what you did, Kat. I know the truth.”

The chilling message sends Kat spiralling. She immediately assumes Alfie or Stacey might be behind it, but as she digs deeper, she realizes the handwriting looks disturbingly familiar.

Rumors are swirling that someone connected to Kat’s long-buried secret — the one about Zoe’s true parentage — is back in Walford.

When she confronts Phil (Steve McFadden) for answers, he warns her to “leave the past where it belongs.” But this is Kat Slater — and walking away has never been her style.

3️⃣ Alfie’s Trick — or Treat?

In true EastEnders fashion, Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) gets caught in the middle of the chaos — again. Determined to win Kat back once and for all, Alfie plans a Halloween surprise for her and Zoe, hoping to reunite the family.

He organizes a haunted charity night at The Vic, complete with fake cobwebs, ghost stories, and his trademark grin. But things take a dark turn when a mysterious man shows up at the event — someone Alfie recognizes from Joe Tate’s old business connections.

The stranger corners Alfie outside, warning him to “keep quiet about what he saw in Spain.” Viewers can expect a tense scene where Alfie’s smile fades completely as he realizes this Halloween isn’t just about ghosts… it’s about survival.

4️⃣ Stacey’s Discovery Changes Everything

While the Slaters are caught up in their Halloween drama, Stacey (Lacey Turner) stumbles upon a shocking truth. While cleaning out an old storage box from the attic, she finds an envelope marked “For Zoe — when she’s ready.”

Inside are old letters written by Kat decades ago — confessions that could destroy the fragile peace between mother and daughter.

In a heated confrontation later in the week, Stacey urges Kat to come clean:

“She deserves to hear it from you, Kat — not from a piece of paper.”

The truth finally comes spilling out — but not before a furious Zoe storms out into the Halloween night, disappearing into the dark streets of Walford.

By Thursday, the entire Slater family is in panic mode. Where is Zoe? And who was seen following her that night?

5️⃣ The Halloween Cliffhanger: A Scream in the Square

Halloween night ends with one of EastEnders’ most chilling moments in recent years. As trick-or-treaters fill Albert Square, the camera pans across the cobblestones… and a blood-curdling scream echoes through the night.

Kat races outside, terrified, and drops to her knees when she spots Zoe’s phone lying beside the fountain — its screen cracked, with a single missed call from “Mum.”

The episode fades to black, leaving viewers with more questions than answers.

Has Zoe been kidnapped? Did the ghostly warnings mean something more? Or has an old enemy returned to take revenge on the Slaters?

Producers are keeping tight-lipped, but one insider teased:

“This Halloween storyline will redefine the Slater family. What happens to Zoe will change Kat forever.”

💥 Bonus Twist: Phil’s Secret Involvement

If all that wasn’t enough drama, fans will also see hints that Phil Mitchell knows more than he’s letting on. His cryptic phone call at the end of Thursday’s episode — “It’s done. She’s gone.” — will leave viewers in total shock.

Could Phil be protecting Kat, or hiding something far darker?

🎃 Final Thoughts

Next week’s EastEnders episodes are packed with emotional turmoil, supernatural scares, and explosive family secrets — the perfect mix for Halloween week.

With Zoe’s haunting collapse, Kat’s buried truth, and a terrifying cliffhanger that will leave fans screaming for more, October 27–30 is shaping up to be one of the most unforgettable weeks EastEnders has ever aired.

Walford loves a good secret — but this time, it looks like the ghosts are ready to talk. 👻
