The long-awaited funeral of Zoe took place in EastEnders this week, marking a poignant moment for characters Kat and Alfie as they mourned her loss. The ceremony initially encountered a minor hiccup when the order of service mistakenly featured a black-and-white image of Zoe, prompting questions among viewers about production choices. The error was quickly corrected, allowing Jasmine, Josh, and Kat to deliver heartfelt eulogies.

The scene also revived speculation about the potential return of former characters, as some fans wondered if Zoe's coffin might yet open again in a future storyline. Meanwhile, the absence of a vicar in Walford continues to be noted, echoing similar storylines in other British soap operas where clergy roles remain vacant, leading to questions about who will conduct religious services in these fictional communities.

In other developments, Amy and Craig are planning to flee Walford, setting the stage for a potential chase involving Jack and Max. This subplot adds to the week’s drama, as viewers await to see whether their escape will succeed or be thwarted.

Overall, the episode combined emotional farewells with ongoing narrative tension, maintaining EastEnders’ focus on intertwining personal loss with community dynamics.
