This episode was like a final slap in the face to Zoe, proving there’s been 0 character development the entire year and some of her last actions are going to be throwing a tantrum and acting like a teenager.

Absolutely. They’ve only had Zoe behave like a teenager since she came back ‘running away again would ruin the development she’s made’ what development? It’d be totally in character.

She’s noticed her head bleeding a couple of times and clearly doesn’t feel right so why wouldn’t she seek medical attention?

The argument with Zack was bizarre. First, Zack is no one to call anyone a liability. Second, have these two ever really had scenes together? There has been no build up to any of this. They should have spent the last 8 months having Zoe actually interact with people rather than rushing it in a week.

Credit to Wadey though, he actually got me to feel sorry for Cindy. I actually think this is the first time she’s ever been this side of an affair so it’s a bit of a new direction for her (even if she just ends up going revenge crazy)

Linda is a fool though.

Whoever claimed she was going to get Missy booth'd weeks ago can you tell us what tonights lottery numbers are please 🙏

Sorry I'm late! (and soon Zoe will be too oops)

Seriously I was like THAT is the injury that kills her off? If I was Michelle Ryan I'd be totally livid. In her interview she said that the exit "makes sense"... to who?!

Side note I actually think Jodie's pretty entertaining, I don't get the hate.

Especially when you consider how many gripping near death experiences she has has but I suppose the flip side of it it could be to raise awareness that a bump to the head should always be checked out

Well today’s ep is a journey!

Comedy gold for the most part and not massively in a good way; Cindy trying to rip off a wing mirror of a car to her then going to the Vic and dancing by herself to her first dance!

Then a very odd slo-mo dance segment :D

She did have a good line ‘am I your Ian Beale’ but otherwise it was just badly done.

Some surprises though; Max leaving Zoe for dead and Kat discovering her body in this episode was a shock!

EnderZoe has come

Cindy dancing 😭😭

Yeah, who'd have thought she would've been a fan of Skunk Anansie 🤣

She's giving

I wish they didn’t feel the need to randomly insert Max into her last moments just to give him another thing to feel guilty for. 🤷 The ending was a bit of a tearjerker though. Jessie is going to be incredible next week. 😭

Now the least they could do for her is bring back Little Mo and Lynne for the funeral. Maybe Kelly too.

Floored by Avani called Max a boiled egg.

Lol bye Zoe I guess 🤷‍♂️

Pretty poor that neither of her kids were in the episode and Kat was downstairs serving drinks. I did feel for her a little bit as she was calling out "mum". The only thing I'm glad for is at least Kat and Zoe made up before it happened so Kat isn't burdened with guilt; Max will be though, but he can SUFFER.

I'm guessing after the chat between Tommy and Kat on the tube about him feeling he is 'bad for the family' that he'll probably have the most guilt and blame himself for Zoe's death. As he'll probably think if he didn't drink the vodka, Kat would've gone with Zoe and she would still be alive. Or if he never brought her back in the first place, she would also probably still be alive

That was pretty harrowing, Zoe realising that she did actually need help with her injury when there was no one around to help. And of course, Kat discovering her body.

Saying that though, there are plot holes - do you mean to tell me that none of them would have checked on her from about 10pm onwards when she didn’t say she was going to bed? That her kids wouldn’t even go up to see her? And that when Kat saw her body, she wouldn’t call for an ambulance first thing at an attempt to resuscitate her? I guess the last one could be tackled on the next episode but it all just seems to be very much a product of Wadey and realism not exactly a concept.

Cindy doing her wedding dance solo however was very entertaining, Michelle C was definitely giving Drag Race acting challenge throughout bless her.

The dancing was hilarious to be honest. No saving that one.

But the Zoe bits were good. Her hearing the iconic "You ain't my mum" , "yes I am!" whilst looking down on the square was a good touch.

Kat with the shock of finding her.

Actually quite a touching ending after months of her just being meh

Dare I say it, I actually thought that was a good episode.

A Cindy explosion was always going to be great but, despite the dodgy slow mo, I loved everyone rallying round her in the Vic and dancing with her. It was a refreshing change from a big group mocking the person having a breakdown and it was nice to see the other characters being that kind and also Cindy responding well to it.

I am tired with Avani and Nugget looking down on their parents when, despite everything, Ravi and Priya come across as much better people than their children.

And then there’s Zoe. It’s odd that it’s finally happened given we’ve been talking about for so long. I thought her scenes were done well and actually this kind of death storyline could be really powerful. I also thought Michelle did well with them which just made me think it’s been such a shame there was no build up/screen time before this week. It does have the feel of ‘it’s sad it’s come to this’ and Zoe’s return will always be go down as the worst in EE history-this week being the only thing she’s had close to good material and even then there have been plenty of duff moments. There’s definitely more that’s happened than Michelle Ryan is saying but I guess we’ll never know. Let’s just hope they really go into the aftermath and make it as worth it as possible.

Max’s involvement was forced and unneeded. I swear if they make the aftermath all about him rather than Kat or Tommy. Mick Carter vibes.
