EastEnders has confirmed an iconic celebrity cameo for its upcoming Pride episode, with drag queen La Voix set to perform. However, Mo Slater and Zoe Slater may ruin the surprise by hijacking the booking for the Queen Vic.
Pride Celebrations Spark Rivalry Between Pubs
The BBC soap last celebrated Pride in 2019, an episode praised for its joyful depiction of the LGBTQ+ community and its handling of homophobic violence. This year, the Albert—the square's gay bar—is the natural venue, but Zoe Slater has other ideas. She plans to host a Pride event at the Vic, hoping to reunite her estranged twins, Josh Goodwin and Jasmine Fisher.
Zoe's twins have been at odds since Josh revealed his affair with Jasmine's boyfriend, Oscar Branning, at Zoe's birthday party. Zoe believes a successful Pride event at the Vic will bring her children back together, but she hasn't made any arrangements yet.
Clash with Cindy Beale Over Customers
When Zoe starts planning, she clashes with Cindy Beale, who along with Elaine Peacock, runs the Albert. Cindy books a headline performer—La Voix—to draw customers away from the Vic. Zoe worries her event will flop, so she and Mo decide to trick La Voix into performing at the Vic instead.
According to a source, "Zoe and Mo are determined to make the Vic's Pride a success, even if it means sabotaging Cindy's plans. They think if they can get La Voix, it'll be a guaranteed hit."
Will Zoe manage to unite her warring kids, or will the Pride event end in disaster? EastEnders airs these scenes in the coming weeks.
