Yes the whole thing was really unsavoury, the Sharon-Dennis connection was bad enough then we had Den and Zoe😧

@Alucard55 yes, that was a great lipcurl from Stacey! pretty much how most of us feel😆

I was fine with Sharon getting with Dennis. They weren't blood related and they didn't grow up with each other, so it's no big deal to me. I wish they hadn't killed him off.

Nobody minded Dennis and Sharon ( they were so in love ) but Dirty Den just couldn’t handle it and Zoe loved him too. It was a grim horrible story line , only good thing was Chrissie watts being evil and very good at it too.

More speculation ( online) that Zoe’s twins have two different dads ! It is possible apparently.

I remember Kat saying once that Zoe was doing well abroad selling time share or something in Spain.
She had a new boyfriend etc. Nothing mentioned since about any of that.

Woah how does that work!

Look it up. It’s probably rare, but someone having multiple partners same day or next can be fertilized twice ! I’ve never heard of it myself . Apparently Hollyoaks did a similar story too, but I don’t watch that

If she’s staying in Walford maybe Zo will stop sponging and take over Stacey’s Baps when Stace gets ye olde black taxi to the airport for her illegal stay in Brazil with her bro?

Dennis and Sharon pairing up was a bit off. Dirty Den raised her from birth as if she was his bio child so I can see why he found it disturbing. They were siblings to all intents and purposes.

I don’t get why Sharon would be interested in finding the son tbh. If Denny was still alive I’d understand her wanting her son to know his brother but as things stand, if the kid is Dennis’ it just means her beloved husband cheated on her and why would she want proof of that.

How does Zoe manage to find all these private detectives at the drop of a hat and how convenient the PI needs £500 up front. Honestly I’m starting to think the whole thing is a massive scam on her part.

My money was on Jasmine being Zo & Antknee’s daughter who didn’t actually die at birth….but I now think both the trans storyline and the ‘gangsters’ kid come to seek revenge on Cindy’ plot are both genius shouts!

Twins with two different dads is getting a bit wacky….time to get new writers if they’re starting to reach for that kind of plot twist.

This is the time of year they start setting up the Christmas storylines good and proper, though, so there will be twists and turns along the way I’m sure.

(I’m being very mean here, but when Antknee leaned in to kiss Zo all I could think was ‘she is wearing that manky jumper again and looks like she hasn’t showered in days…why would you?!’)

I'll really miss Stacey/Lacey, she's a great actress and I have always has a soft spot for Stace.
I'm glad Lily and Charli are staying, for Ricky and poor Jean.

Also when Stacey told Lily that Ricky could not prevent her from taking Charli🙄 Of course he can! He is on her birth certificate and she cannot take the child to live in Brazil without the father’s consent. What is Stacey on.

Let's see how long Zoe has this jumper on. She needs a good scrub she just looks grubby. The Jasmine trans thing Oscar said you're the most beautiful "thing" or something. Perhaps overthinking it but...
And Jasmine seems very interested in Cindy.

I remember his reaction - which was OTT because they weren’t siblings in any meaningful way - but who cares what that revolting crusty groomer thought.

Dennis was the love of her life - and over 40 years she’s had many boyfriends and husbands - so I think wanting one final link to him is credible.

Jasmine’s missing ID didn’t make any sense. I know EE is an alternative universe but no employer would take someone one without at the very least getting their NI number (which would then reveal her real name) to ensure the person has the legal right to work here.

Elaine is meant to be very sharp and has a solicitor grandson so it’s hard to believe she wouldn’t be all over that before Jasmine started work.

I think Jasmine’s real surname is either Trueman or Slater and she doesn’t want anyone to know. I would like it if the reveal was she’s trans or connected to Cindy but no - this useless new executive producer is obsessed with the past and the Slaters, so as I said earlier, I think we’re heading to a very contrived “I ain’t your mother!” conclusion. I don’t give him the credit he can think of anything less predictable.

But if Jasmine is Zoe's child how would she be called Trueman or Slater? Zoe gave a false name at the hospital and legged it before the baby's/babies' birth was registered!

Yes Jasmine being called Truman or Slater isn't going to happen, the hospital did not know Zoe's surname. If she's connected to the Cindy (Ford) family then she wouldn't want her name known, but surely the Fords being criminal overlords would give them easy access to false ID.

I liked the scenes with Oscar (just for Oscar) but Jasmine is so cold she isn't interesting to watch. Yet another PITA female character.

Zoe needs to go on 'Long Lost Family'.
That'll be a challenge and a half for the researchers 😂

Don't you have to show some ID before you rock up at a hospital to give birth or tell them your name so they can look it up?

Mentioned by a PP a few days ago that Jasmine may have been adopted by Anthony. Maybe they fell out and that's why she's avoiding him.

I just can't see why they've brought back Antony after all this time just to look after Patrick? Then a mixed race young person who looks 19 arrives soon after.

If Jasmine is avoiding Antony she’s going a funny way about it, turning up on the street where he lives.

surely Antony’s purpose is the Zoe baby reveal. If any of us survive to see it, it feels like it’s been going on forever.

What about the Callum and Ben storyline? Is he really gonna dump Ben for Johnny? Seems so unlikely, I think he's just lonely! He really loves Ben.

Oh no! Zoe has the gruesome jumper in black as well as white; please, no more.

I think it's great Zoe is ,,as you put it , looking a bit grubby,..no makeup and hair not done
Sick of soaps having women look constantly done up with makeup and hair immaculate..adds to the pressure that's what expected of us
Love the fact she's back with a bit of weight gain ...as normal with women as we age .. especially with Sharon getting thinner by the day
Zoe looks realistic for a woman her age ,going through peri and having had a difficult life .
I hope they don't suddenly cake her in makeup and new clothes

I agree that seeing someone looking normal, not done up and so on is refreshing, but Zoe does look like she could do with a wash and they could have found her some nicer clothes or just a plain sweatshirt or something like that.
She always dressed well before.
I guess a lot is protray her distesss and the fact she’s drinking more and so on. The actual character was always a bit sad / unhappy , so that hasn’t changed. They put the characters through it though to be fair! lol ( who’d be a soap character ! lol )
