The actress Michelle Ryan, known for portraying Zoe Slater from 2000 to 2005 in 'EastEnders', made her much-anticipated return, leading to an outpouring of nostalgic reactions from fans. Many took to social media to express amazement at her ageless appearance and excitement about her return. Viewers drew comparisons between Zoe and her on-screen relativity, particularly Lily Slater, and some highlighted the show’s longevity and mix of old and new characters. Ryan herself noted this return felt right and had been contemplating it prior to reconnecting with former co-stars.
Still a major pinch me moment to have Zoe Slater on our screens in 2025.
I am well and truly lost for words! Michelle Ryan looks incredible and really hasn't aged a day.
Honestly, it was still absolutely brilliant! How amazing to think Zoe has finally returned.
The fact that Zoe is on the show at the same time as characters like Cindy, Kathy and Nigel... It's surreal.
