Watch the dramatic moment EastEnders’ Sharon SLAPS Zoe – sending her flying across The Vic
TENSIONS rose in Albert Square as Sharon Watts slapped Zoe Slater – sending her flying across the Queen Vic.
Wednesday’s instalment followed on from a huge bombshell dropped in the previous episode.
Zoe claimed Sharon’s late husband Dennis Rickman got her pregnant 20 years ago.
Dennis d.i.e.d after a stabbing on New Year’s Eve in 2005, and a flashback episode showed that Zoe gave birth in 2006.
Sharon dismissed the claim, but was reminded Dennis visited Zoe on the day she originally left Walford.
“So what you are saying?” Sharon asked, “You had a quick bunk up behind my back?”
After her rival doubled down, Sharon branded her a liar and slapped Zoe hard across the face.
Zoe was sent flying – as Kat Slater and Vicki Fowler stepped in to separate the two.
Meanwhile, Sharon defiantly yelled: “Dennis would never cheat on me! Ever!”
Zoe responded with a taunt, saying: “Oh, but he did.”
Previous bombshell flashbacks revealed Zoe had twins in 2006 – but one baby seemingly didn’t survive the birth.
It was revealed Zoe fled the hospital, leaving the surviving baby behind in the process.
Fans suggested her past love interests like Dennis or Anthony Trueman as possible candidates to be the father.
Before her altercation with Sharon, Zoe clashed with Vicki earlier that day.
The pair blasted 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.”
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.
While Anthony came to help Zoe – and was later declined when he tried to kiss her.
EastEnders airs on BBC One and iPlayer.
