EastEnders actress Michelle Ryan to depart soap as Zoe Slater

Michelle Ryan, who portrays Zoe Slater in the BBC soap EastEnders, has filmed her final scenes for the series. After returning to the show last June following a 20-year absence, her character is set to be killed off in a dramatic storyline.

Reports suggest the character's exit will be significant, with rumors indicating a tragic end for the character. While some fans expressed disappointment regarding the lackluster nature of her recent return, the exit marks the conclusion of a long-planned storyline. Following the completion of filming, Ryan was seen spending time with co-star Jessie Wallace, who plays her on-screen mother, Kat Slater.
