EastEnders actor Tony Way to return for Zoe Slater exit

Actor Tony Way is set to return to the BBC soap opera EastEnders for a brief stint in Albert Square. Way, known for his role in the Netflix series After Life, previously appeared on the show in 2004. His return is linked to the upcoming exit storyline for the character Zoe Slater, played by Michelle Ryan.

While the BBC has confirmed that Zoe Slater will be departing the series later this year, specific plot details remain undisclosed. Reports suggest the character's exit may involve a death storyline following a fall, though the BBC has declined to comment on specific narrative arcs to avoid spoiling the show for viewers. The storyline aims to explore the long-standing and complicated relationship between Zoe and her mother, Kat Moon.
