Tempers flare in the middle of the Square
SPARKS fly on the Square as Vicki Fowler and Zoe Slater trade shocking slaps in a dramatic soap scrap.
The explosive showdown took place in Tuesday’s episode of EastEnders as the old nemeses’ clash reached a boiling point.
The pair blast each other’s families, trading barbed insults before the slaps start flying.
Zoe told Vicki that her dad, Den Watts, loved Sharon and Dennis more than her.
Vicki hit back saying at least her mum didn’t pass her off as her sister.
A fuming Zoe then shoved Vicki, who fell on the floor, before threatening, “You don’t wanna mess with me.”
But Vicki was left steaming and retaliated by shoving her from behind and shouting: “I didn’t. But I do now.”
Vicki then slapped Zoe across the face TWICE, leaving the nearby residents stunned.
“That is for burying my dad under the Vic,” Vicki said.
Zack tried to intervene and tear Vicki off of Zoe, but he ended up getting injured himself.
Anthony came to help Zoe before she yelled at Vicki: “You know your dad… he never really loved you.”
After walking away, Vicki turned back around and threatened: “One day, when you least expect it, you’re going to get what’s coming to ya.”
Later, Anthony comforted Zoe after her public showdown, but he got carried away in the moment and leaned in for a kiss.
Zoe pulled away and ordered him to stay away from her.
Soon, Zoe found herself in another face-off, this time with the recently returned Sharon Watts.
She reminded Sharon how her “creep of a dad” Den coerced her into bed with him.
When Sharon ordered Zoe out of Walford, Zoe revealed that she is just desperate for money to find her son whom she gave up.
“You wanna know who the father is?” she asked Sharon.
Sharon rebuffed any claims that it was her dad’s.
Zoe revealed: “Not your dad’s. Your husband’s.
“Twenty years ago, Dennis Rickman slept with me. That’s right, Sharon. Precious Dennis… he got me pregnant.”
Dennis died after a stabbing on New Year’s Eve in 2005, and a flashback episode showed that Zoe gave birth in 2006.
Sharon was left stunned by the news as the memory of her beloved late husband had now been tainted.
How will the Slater family react to the bombshell?
EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
