MYSTERY DEEPENS! EastEnders’ Anthony Trueman hides a chilling secret — is he protecting Zoe or playing mind games in Walford’s darkest twist yet? 👇👇👇
Suspicion is once again swirling around Anthony Trueman (Nicholas Bailey) in next week’s EastEnders, and this time, it’s Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker) and Kim Fox (Tameka Empson) who begin to question his motives.
Anthony’s long-awaited comeback earlier this year reignited plenty of tension in Albert Square, especially after he swooped in to rescue his former flame Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) during a shocking accidental shooting. But while his return initially seemed heroic, new events suggest Anthony might be hiding something far darker.
Zoe’s Paranoia Escalates
Recent episodes have seen Zoe growing increasingly paranoid, convinced that someone is trying to harm her. When a mysterious scare shakes her at The Queen Vic, she immediately turns on Anthony — accusing him of sneaking around and deliberately tormenting her.
Anthony insists he’s innocent, but the confrontation leaves him rattled. Concerned for Zoe’s wellbeing, he confides in Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace), warning her that Zoe’s mental health appears to be deteriorating.
The doctor previously voiced fears that Zoe may be experiencing the early signs of a psychotic break, and his worried tone only deepens the sense of unease surrounding them both.
Patrick and Kim Grow Suspicious
It’s not just Zoe who’s wary of Anthony. Next week, Patrick and Kim begin to notice his secretive behavior — and they don’t like what they see.
In scenes airing Thursday, November 6, the pair exchange theories about what Anthony could be hiding. But when confronted, Anthony offers a perfectly reasonable explanation: he’s just been offered a permanent position at the local surgery in Albert Square.
Still, Kim isn’t convinced. Something about his demeanor — calm, polite, but evasive — doesn’t sit right. And as viewers soon discover, she’s right to be suspicious.
A Secret Phone Call Changes Everything
Later that evening, Anthony makes a cryptic phone call — one that suggests his new job might not be the whole story. His tone shifts, his words carefully chosen. Whoever’s on the other end of the line, it’s clear Anthony is keeping secrets.
Could Zoe’s wild theory be right after all? Is Anthony hiding something sinister, or is this all part of a bigger plan to protect her from someone else?
The truth remains just out of reach — but in EastEnders, secrets never stay buried for long.
