EastEnders viewers have sparked speculation that Anthony Trueman may still be alive following a dramatic episode that saw him lying lifeless on the floor of the Queen Vic. The character, played by unknown actor, appeared to be dead, but fans are convinced that the twist is not as straightforward as it seems.
Zoe Slater, portrayed by an actress, was seen taking responsibility for Anthony’s apparent death, fearing that her daughter Jasmine could be involved. She called the police and was arrested, seemingly sealing her exit from the soap. However, eagle-eyed fans have taken to social media to question whether Anthony has truly perished.
One fan wrote: “Oh is not dead. I'm calling it now. That guy is going to get backup.” Another added: “Am I being stupid? what is Anthony doing on the floor? Zoe was knocked out and he standing over her.” The implication, as suggested by a fifth viewer, is that someone else killed Anthony off-screen while Zoe was unconscious, potentially Jasmine.
Meanwhile, the storyline also involves the return of Chrissie Watts, played by Tracy-Ann Oberman, who has been tormenting Zoe. In a recent interview, Oberman stated: “Chrissie has always felt that it’s very unfair she spent 20 years in prison… She clearly has time on her hands!” She also noted that Chrissie has developed a fondness for Jasmine, seeking to empower her to get revenge on Zoe.
The continuing saga leaves fans guessing about Anthony’s fate and the future of Zoe, as more twists are expected in the coming episodes.
