Zoe's Stalker: Is Sam Mitchell the Real Culprit?
20 Nov, 2025
Summary
- Fans suspect Sam Mitchell is Zoe's stalker, not Jean Slater.
- Zoe's cat and a spray-painted message escalated the attacks.
- Sam Mitchell's past feud with Zoe fuels stalker speculation.
Speculation is rife among EastEnders viewers regarding the identity of Zoe Slater's stalker. While Jean Slater was recently implicated when her earring was found, many fans believe this is a deliberate misdirection. The prevailing fan theory points to the returning Sam Mitchell as the true culprit behind the escalating torment.
The hate campaign against Zoe has intensified, involving disturbing incidents such as her pet cat, Mini Mo, disappearing and reappearing in a carrier bag. A threatening message spray-painted on a door further heightened the tension, leading Zoe to take matters into her own hands.
Fans are drawing connections between Sam Mitchell's imminent return and Zoe's ongoing ordeal, citing their past animosity stemming from the 2005 Den Watts murder. This has led to widespread belief that Sam is the stalker, with Jean's involvement possibly being a red herring orchestrated to protect the real perpetrator.
