Unraveling the Mystery of Zoe's Twins
The identity of the father of Zoe Slater's missing twins has become a focal point of speculation among fans of the British soap opera *EastEnders*. Since Zoe's return to Walford earlier this year, viewers have been intrigued by the mystery surrounding her children's father, who has yet to be revealed. Initially, Zoe attempted to mislead others by claiming that Dennis Rickman was the father, a strategy aimed at securing financial support for her search. However, this deception was exposed when Kat Moon inadvertently disclosed the truth during a recent episode aired on October 27.
Fan Theories and Speculation
As the search for the twins continues, fans have taken to social media to propose various theories regarding the father's identity. A prominent theory suggests that Alfie Moon could be the father, supported by what fans describe as "clues" in the storyline. Observations of interactions between Zoe and Alfie, along with Alfie's complicated history with the Slater family, have fueled this speculation. One fan noted, “Going by that look between Zoe and Alfie… I’m even more convinced that the father is Alfie!” Others expressed concern that revealing such a twist could disrupt the stability of Kat and Alfie's marriage, which appears to be thriving.
Zoe's Ongoing Struggles
In the upcoming episodes, Zoe's situation intensifies as she believes she is being targeted by an unknown assailant. Kat and Alfie are caught in a dilemma, unsure whether Zoe's fears are legitimate or merely a product of her imagination. Meanwhile, Zoe's emotional state deteriorates as she faces the loss of her cat and the defacement of family photographs, leading to further tensions within her family. Kat's attempts to support Zoe include selling her share of a business to fund a private investigator's search for Zoe's long-lost son.

The show's producers have not confirmed any theories regarding the identity of Zoe's twins' father, leaving fans to speculate. The ongoing narrative suggests that the revelation will have significant implications for the characters involved, particularly for Zoe and her relationships with her family.
