Anthony Trueman, played by Nicholas Bailey, was declared dead by Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) after she discovered his body at the top of

the stairs of the Queen Vic pub, near to her daughter Zoe Slater, who had passed out next to him after being thrown against a bannister.

The characters had earlier tussled after Zoe, played by Michelle Ryan, became angry at Anthony, who had lied to Kat about Zoe’s two long-lost children being dead.

 

 

Finding her on the landing, Kat woke Zoe up and said: “Zoe, Zoe, wake up… what have you done? Look at me, what have you done? Zoe, he’s dead.”

Anthony had lied to Kat as he was angry after discovering he was the father of the twins Zoe gave birth to and abandoned in the hospital in 2006, after believing her daughter to be dead.

 

Zoe had also been angry at Anthony as she wrongly believed him to be the person who had been making sinister threats towards her.

Having found his body, Kat responded by switching off the electricity in the pub and forcing Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) to tell the punters to get out.

Instead, she found Chrissie Watts (Tracy-Ann Oberman), and it was revealed that she has been the mastermind behind Zoe’s torment.

Kat asked her how long she had been in the pub, presumably to figure out if she could have killed Anthony, to which Chrissie said: “Just got here, why?”

Chrissie’s plan has involved teaming up with Zoe’s daughter, Jasmine, and turning her against her mother as revenge for her involvement in the death of Den Watts, whom Chrissie had actually murdered.
