12 Jul
Summary
- Michelle Ryan's character, Zoe Slater, has been axed from EastEnders.
- Her return after nearly 20 years was met with disappointment by some viewers.
- Zoe Slater's character will be killed off entirely from the show.
Actress Michelle Ryan's recent return to the popular British soap opera 'EastEnders' as Zoe Slater has been short-lived, with the character officially axed. Ryan, who originally starred in the 2000s, made a comeback after nearly two decades, a return that was celebrated by fans.
However, reports suggest that Ryan's return has been "somewhat flat and lacklustre," leading to disappointment both among some viewers and backstage. The actress reportedly filmed her final scenes last month. 'EastEnders' confirmed Zoe Slater's departure, stating they wished Ryan well for the future and would not comment on storylines.
Rumors of Ryan's imminent exit began circulating earlier this year after a cryptic social media post. In upcoming episodes, viewers will see Zoe Slater's final moments, as it has been confirmed her character will be killed off permanently. This departure follows Jessie Wallace, who plays Zoe's mother Kat Slater, advocating for Ryan's return, stating the show wouldn't feel right with a different actress as Zoe.
