The sudden death of Zoe Slater (played by Michelle Ryan) in EastEnders has significantly impacted the residents of Walford. One local, Greg Stanton (played by Jake Wood), has revealed a shocking truth about the incident.
The Incident of Zoe Slater's Death
Zoe tragically died in her bed after suffering a blow to the head earlier in the day. The effects of this blow did not become apparent until early evening, and while Zoe was calling for her mother, Kat (played by Jessie Wallace), who did not hear her, she ultimately lost her life. Kat was left emotionally devastated after finding Zoe's body, and the Slater family was profoundly affected by this unexpected event.

Greg Stanton's Guilt
As the story unfolds, Greg Stanton, who has recently recovered from a heart attack, is deeply affected by Zoe's death. He had previously discovered his infidelity with Priya Nandra-Hart (played by Sophie Khan Levy) during his wedding ceremony with Cindy Beale (played by Michelle Collins). Now back in Walford, he is shocked by the news of Zoe's death. Viewers remember that Zoe had seen him kissing Linda Carter (played by Kellie Bright).
Greg approached Zoe and asked her to keep what she had seen a secret. However, Zoe was in a bad state and asked him for help. Greg, thinking she was drunk, left her alone, and Zoe died in the following scenes.
The guilt from leaving Zoe in such a difficult situation has weighed heavily on him, and he has turned to alcohol. He confesses to his son Oscar (played by Pierre Konyan-Molier) that Zoe's death is his fault. Now the question arises: will Kat and the other Slater family members realize that Greg might have been able to help Zoe?
EastEnders airs from Monday to Thursday at 7:30 PM on BBC One, and viewers can watch it from 6 AM on BBC iPlayer.
