Sam also made a mistake in putting her finger prints on the doorstop, if she'd have left the pub straight away she would be getting on with her life by now.

yeh sam shouldnt have agreed to get rid of the doorstop, but then again she did it for selfish reasons

Sam wanted the pub and if she hadn't cared about it so much then she wouldn't have got involved, atleast I hope that's the case because I wouldn't like to think anybody was that stupid to get involved for no reason especially in something like this.

sam should have immediatley left the vic, not got herself involved as she never hit den, touched him etc

so if she'd not touched his body or the doorstop she could have still blackmailed chrissie, without any way of being arrested, as she could have told the police, but done some deal in that sam got chrissie to confess, giving sam time to get the vic

very boring idea, prefer what actually happened, sam is too blonde to think clever ideas like mine anyways :rotfl:

Zoe's done the right thing by leaving. I reckon Sam and Chrissie should go too. I don't want them to because I like their characters but in a real life situation I'd be terrified. I'd run a mile not live above the corpse.

but if sam had left so she wasnt involved then she wouldnt have seen chrissie hit him and so everyone would still think it was zoe

Thats why I said I had a feeling we HAD not seen the last of Zoe ...I am sure it won't be any time soon, but she is gonna be back,, briefly,,

Treacle
25-06-2005, 14:07
I actually think she's done a good job in EastEnders. In the beginning she was good and for a 17 year old coped with the Kat/Zoe mother storyline very well.
Okay we all know she went off a bit but didn't everyone last year? I think she should do okay, she's certainly a lot better at acting than most her age.

Treacle

No because Sam could have still seen Chrissie hit him then suddenly came to her senses and realised she doesn't have to get involved and this is her ideal oppurtunity to get back her pub. Silly cow probably went ahead and helped bury him though - no brains! Den said it and he was right. :rotfl:

She's not gone for good, there could be some good drama if she comes back again but I doubt it's going to be this year or next.

I think no matter what... IF the crime squad is really good,, then it won't matter how much washing Chrisstie does,,there is always places that the blood stains can get to that cant be reached,, if THEY are being realistic,, about this murder..Chrissie should have been splattered with Dens blood, and the blood splattered every where...there is a certain way the blood arches and splatters when using a heavy object as a murder weapon,, given Chrissie is probably not the strongest,, she wil have had to BANG DEN'S head in really hard and several times...:wall: The dog door step will also have blood on it,, those cast iron objects are usually just that CAST,, so there are seams where the blood can get caught and Chrissie could not have gotten to it when she was cleaning the door stop..
Ok nuff said....:searchme: Sorry I do have some background in criminal justice..

chrissie has washed it since tough... but then again there will be fingerprints all over den's body

but if that happened then her fingerprints/dna would be on den as she touched him to see if he was alive or not. hse probably did help them bury him as they were all panicky

But that would be the only thing and there could be any number of reasons why she touched him. They did work behind the same bar together.

well if thats the case then she could have picked the doorstop up as well at some other point seeing as pauline thinks it was left in the vic

i agree, she didnt hit him so she didnt need to help them cover it up, she could easily have got away with it

Treacle

She might not have her pub but is it really that important? Atleast she wouldn't be feeling as she is now.

but at the time she was panicking and so probably thought that she was involved already and so she needed to help them get rid of the evidence, then afterwards she realised that she could use it to blackmail chrissie and get the vic back

Treacle
25-06-2005, 14:54
Blackmailing Chrissie didn't get her anywhere though. Chrissie managed somehow to outsmart her and turn the situation round to her advantage hence Sam not being able to get her mitts on the pub.

it didnt get her anywhere but sam thought it would. all she wanted was to get the pub back and she didnt thin about it properly. i mean on the night den died they planned to get den to sign the vic over to chrissie and then sam thought she was going to get it. if sam had thought about it proeprly she would have seen that chrissie wouldnt have given it to her anyway so her being there was pointless, she wasnt going to achieve anythig from it

I must admire the way Chrissie has played this so cooly. Yes Sam knows some information that could probably ruin Chrissie but Chrissie hasn't let Sam see her panic or begged her or cried on her shoulder etc and made desperate pleas for Sam not to go to the police. Chrissie has handled the fact Sam has something on her really well although Sam is now seen as an accessory especially if she helped bury the body but even knowing and not telling anyone is enough to get a prison term which I think is where she'll end up when she leaves in November. I have a feeling it's all going to kick off and Chrissie will be having the last laugh - well for now anyways.

Maybe somehow Chrissie manages to turn it on her. I would hope Kat would stand in and tell the truth to the police though should that happen.

kat wouldnt tell the police though as she wouldnt want to tell them that zoe was involved. also i cant see how chrissie could turn it on sam as dens buried in the pub she owns, she wouldnt be able to say she didnt know about it

Treacle
25-06-2005, 15:10
True! Even if the police knew about Zoe's involvement - would they be able to find her? I suppose it sort of stops Michelle coming back though.

JustJodi
25-06-2005, 15:20
Hmmmmm Before Zoe even said it,,, I said call her Mom,, or something,,, whoa she did,, that is when I saw a totally different Kat,, What i saw was a momma bear and she is going to defend her cub,,God help those who get in Kats way and the ones who are on her list,,, like when she said to Chrissie before she stormed out,, YOU'LL KEEP,,, oooooohhhhh

Kat is a decent person really when she first came into the programme she hid it and pretended she was shallow but she was always a mother.

Kat's a very caring mother even though it took so long for that side to come out of her.

squarelady
25-06-2005, 18:25
Kat tries to hide her real self alot because she doesn't want to get hurt. There were only ever a couple of people that you ever saw the true side of Kat with and Zoe is one of them. They had some fantastic moments!

Big Mo also got caught with her sex line the other day too.

Amz84

It would make sense her coming back for Chrissie's trial. As Sam and Chrissie are bound to mention it too the coppers especially Chrissie. When everything starts to fall apart.

Lennie
30-10-2005, 17:53
Yeah, but why would she return, Kat's gone so no one will protect her

Kim
30-10-2005, 18:12
Yeah, but why would she return, Kat's gone so no one will protect her

If Chrissie drags her into it when she is caught, Zoe wouldn't have a choice in the matter.

Jade
30-10-2005, 18:32
It would make sense to bring her back, after all she played a major role in the downfall of Den. I'd also quite like to see her back for the trial.

Kim
30-10-2005, 18:39
So would I. If she is dragged into it she would probably end up in prison for concealing evidence and abh.

soapyclean
31-10-2005, 07:40
yeah she'd have to come back if they had a trial, too answer police questions then again it depends on how they have written it.

There have been several rumors concerning Zoe's return, and EastEnders have approached actress Michelle Ryan to return for a six month stint as Zoe. But there has been no confirmation of whether she is returning or not. See the threads in the rumour mill.

Mr Humphries
05-11-2005, 07:29
She should be brought to justice as she did hit den first.

eastenders mad
05-11-2005, 10:40
well said she should be brought down.
THe police in Spain should find her and arrest her in there jail.

kalfie
05-11-2005, 11:52
i think she should come back to Albert Square for a couple of weeks for the trial. She should have to testyfie. I think she should get sentenced to 6 months in prision. or she could get fined

Bryan
05-11-2005, 11:55
as of yet michelle ryan has not confirmed a return, and i doutb she will either

rumours of her returning and discussion of this have already been posted here:

Zoe's not coming back for the trial. Michelle's moved on. There's no need to show the trial if they've got a confession. There's no need for a trial, Chrissie'll just plead guilty. She doesn't have any other choice.

_lil_hunni
16-11-2005, 13:32
I'd like for there to be a trial in a year or so, I wouldn't mind if zoe returned for that but she doesn;t need to return for a whole 6 months. Maybe if there was a trial it would give chrissie the chance to return because everybody would get to hear her side of what happened and by some miracle the case could collapse.

i would like her to come back but not quite so soon, i dont think its fair that sam and zoe get away scott free, i mean Den might not have died with chrissie's one blow if Zoe hadnt hit him the first time, sam blackmailed chrissie and they did burry his body, so if anyone was punished it should have been all three of them.

Sam is on the "lam" so she can not return to Walford... Zoe is in Spain,, so they really DIDN'T REALLY GET AWAY WITH IT,,, they just CAN NEVER return to their old home town.That is a life sentence in itself,,:searchme:

It's not exactly a life sentence for Zoe, she wanted to go and see Kelly after everything that had happened in Walford.

Bryan
02-01-2006, 10:19
i think Zoe would need a real purpose to return, Walford is filled with too many bad memories....Dennis, Jamie, Uncle Harry, Den, Chrissie etc...

with the ever decreasing Slater family the chances of Zoe returning are minimal! i think if ms Wallace ever returns then Michelle can too!

DaVeyWaVey
02-01-2006, 10:55
She could return if she wanted too. Sam and Chrissie didn't drop Zoe in it as being an accessory to murder over Dens death.

Probably because all those that have left have not done much since or what they did was not too successful, so back to the soap that got their name up into the EastEnders cast list :lol:

Eastenders babe Michelle Ryan is returning to the soap - five years after quitting to tackle other acting challenges.

Michelle, 25, who played Zoe Slater in nearly 500 episodes, vowed never to go back to the show that helped make her name. But soap bosses persuaded the star - out running near her London home last week - to return.

Michelle has agreed to appear in the BBC1 show for at least a month around Christmas. Auditions have already been held to find her character a hunky new love interest.

Zoe clouts Zoe's mum Kat (Jessie Wallace) and Kat's husband Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) will also return as producers try to boost viewing figures. Michelle left EastEnders in 2005. She landed roles in the movies I Want Candy and Cashback. Michelle also played Jaime Sommers in the American TV series Bionic Woman.

She appeared in the 2008 BBC TV series Merlin and was in a Doctor Who special last year.

Michelle first appeared in EastEnders in 2000. Zoe found that Kat - who she thought was her sister - was her mother.

She became entangled with Dirty Den (Leslie Grantham) and bashed his wife Chrissie (Tracy-Ann Oberman).

Speculation over old favourites returning mounted yesterday when it emerged six characters - Charlie Slater, Minty Peterson, Libby Fox, Danny Mitchell, Adam Best and Liz Turner - are to be axed.

A bbc spokeswoman said : "We have not approached Michelle

"Speculation is rife about returning characters but this is not true. However, as with all characters, we would never say never.

Michelle Ryan has apparently been persuaded by BBC bosses to return to EastEnders after a break of more than five years.

The actress vowed in December that she would not return to her role as Walford's Zoe Slater, likening her time on the soap to "an apprenticeship" within the industry.

However, The People reports that the 25-year-old will be back on the BBC One soap for at least a month at Christmas - along with Zoe's mum Kat (Jessie Wallace) and Kat's husband Alfie Moon (Shane Richie),

A BBC spokeswoman denied that Ryan has been appraoched, adding: "Speculation is rife about returning characters but this is not true. However, as with all characters, we would never say never."

Ryan first joined the EastEnders cast in 2000 and appeared in more than 500 episodes before deciding to quit to work on different projects. Despite leaving Albert Square, Ryan later aknowledged that she will always be associated with the soap.

There's bound to be speculation when Kat's returning. Every member of Kat and Alfie's family are returning according to this board! lol we'll probably have Nana Moon returning from the dead next!
Nothing every goes back to exactly the way it was. Even if the entire Slater clan came back. Look at the Jacksons. Its totally not the same. They have grown up so much! Its changed.

I think it's because most of the acters who have left Easties have not done very well, that they are hoping for a return?

Former EastEnders star Michelle Ryan has poured cold water over claims that she could return to the soap.

Last month, a tabloid newspaper reported that Ryan had been persuaded to reprise her role as Zoe Slater for a storyline tying in with the comeback of her screen mum Kat (Jessie Wallace).

However, asked by PA whether such a move would appeal to her, Ryan replied: "No, [it's] not for me."

Reflecting on her time with the Walford serial, she continued: "It's like a five-year intense apprenticeship and then you get to go out and try different things."

Despite ruling out a return, Ryan revealed that she has heard good things about the programme's current form. She said: "I never watched it while I was in it but I hear it's great now and I hear the live episode was amazing."

The 26-year-old previously vowed to carry on "progressing" in the industry by "jumping from job to job".

Ex-'EastEnders' actress Michelle Ryan has said she has no plans to follow her former co-stars Jessie Wallace and Shane Richie back to the BBC One soap.

The Press Association reports that Wallace and Richie, who played Kat and Alfie Moon, will return to the show later this year.

When asked if their return could convince her to reprise her role as Kat's daughter Zoe Slater, Ryan replied: "No, not for me.

She continued: "It's like a five-year intense apprenticeship and then you get to go out and try different things."


Ryan also revealed that she has never been a regular viewer of 'EastEnders'.


"I never watched it while I was in it but I hear it's great now and I hear the live episode was amazing," she said.

Great News

In talks to return for Christmas

EastEnders bosses have denied reports that Michelle Ryan is reprising her role as Zoe Slater.

Earlier today, a Sunday newspaper claimed that Ryan was being lined up for a Christmas special and was "excited" over possible storylines with Jessie Wallace and Shane Richie.

However, a BBC spokesperson dismissed the speculation this morning, telling Digital Spy that there are no plans for Zoe to make a comeback.

Ryan made her final appearance in EastEnders back in 2005 and she has ruled out a return on a number of occasions.
