Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) comes clean about her horrifying ordeal with Greg Dolan (Dean Williamson) in EastEnders next week.

Last week, during a series of flashbacks, viewers were introduced to the devious individual who claimed to be working as a private investigator.

He had information on her son – who she abandoned in hospital in 2006 – but wanted 5k in exchange for it.

As he waited outside in a car, she went into Greg’s derelict flat and handed over the money.

Overwhelmed by the care given by her family, she rushes out and seeks some peace and quiet in the cafe.

Unfortunately for Zoe, that isn’t going to happen. One of the first people she runs into is a furious Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig), who still blames her for the death of her dad Den Watts (Leslie Grantham).

In 2005, Zoe was roped into one of Den’s many schemes. He asked her to fake a pregnancy with his son Dennis Rickman (Nigel Harman), so that it would end his relationship with Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean).

It was the romance that grossed us all out – two adoptive siblings getting it on – but ultimately, Zoe’s plot was unsuccessful.

Dennis knew that she wasn’t expecting, and so Den decided to impregnate her himself.
