With Stacey telling Alfie that Zoe has done a moonlight flit toย Barcelonaย on herย credit cards, he came up with a plan.
Telling her not to cancel them, he said they could track where she was with it and find her to bring her home for a reunion with her mum Kat.
But with Alfie unable to tell Kat where he was really going, instead he lied and claimed he was going toย Australiaย to see his brother Spencer who was struggling.
And itโs EastEnders, itโs likely that Kat will discover his lies and jump to the wrong conclusion, putting theirย marriageย at risk.
It comes just a day after Zoe fled to Barcelona, after her brief return scenes.
The BBC soap has confirmed that Michelle will return later thisย summerย for a permanent comeback.
EastEndersย new boss, Executive Producerย Ben Wadeyย added: โBefore I even stepped into the role, Zoe Slater was on my wish-list of returnees as, although we havenโt seen her on screen for twenty years, her character has transcended time due to her popular storylines.โ
Speaking on her return to theย BBCย soap, Michelle said: โIt feels like coming home.
โAfter doing my first few scenes, it was like Iโd never been away.
โIt all happened at the right time.
EastEnders drops huge clue that Zoe Slater has a secret child before shock exit
โIโd already been thinking about a returnย because Iโd met up withย Kacey Ainsworthย (Little Mo) andย Kim Medcalfย (Sam Mitchell) and we were reminiscing our fond memories of the show, and Iโd also joined social media and saw that there was still a lot of love for the character.
โIt just so happened that at the same time,ย EastEndersย had announced a new Exec who was keen to explore the potential of a return as he was such a massive fan of Zoe and the Slaters, so both of our worlds aligned at the right time, and Iโm so excited to be back.
โWhen I was pitched the storylines, and when I read the scripts, I knew it was the right decision.โ
