With a good actress it could be a great move, Its wierd that Kat never mentions her and shes just been wiped off the face of the earth, were does she even live now?

The thing is, even though a lot of people want her to return you get annoying forumers saying "Bad move. Worst mistake ever. DTC is the worst producer in his history" but yet its what many of them have wanted before....

I would love for Zoe to return though, whether its Michelle Ryan or a new actress it really doesn't matter to me as its he SAME character

I think Kat should be concentrating on her young children, not making up for lost time with her eldest. It wouldn't be much better than her obsession with Stacey, the only difference is it is actually her daughter.

More mentions and a brief visit would be great though.

I found it really odd that Kat completely changed the subject when Anthony mentioned Zoe and she is literally NEVER mentioned.

No way! Zoe is Zoe, she was a key character, and Michelle Ryan is a great actress, unlike Martin Fowler, and James Alexandrou...

Would you really like them to change the face, behind what has been voted soaps best scenes ever, 'you ain't my mother'?:/

I don't think she will ever come back to eastenders.

If they can recast Martin Fowler they can recast Zoe Slater. He's a far more important character than she is. James Alexandrou is a better actor than Michelle Ryan too.

I would prefer no recasts personally. There's no need for Zoe or any of the Slaters. They had their day. Bringing back Pauline's son recast is a bigger deal than recasting Kat Slater's daughter in my book. Time will tell if it's a success or not but the Fowlers should never have been allowed to die out.

I think there are some characters that shouldnt be recast and some that should. With Martin When I first heard I thought no way but after thinking about it for a bit I thought it might be a good move as he is needed with sonia being back.

I don't think Zoe was in it long enough or the actress memorable enough to warrant a no recast on her head and would welcome zoe back either with the same head or a new one. Yes she had a couple of memorable storylines but thats it.

characters like michelle or robert in emmerdale or those they recast with a personality transplant are pointless and spoil it for the viewers

I liked Michelle Ryan but the way she spoke about the show made it almost definite that she would never return. If they got a similar-looking, talented actress in to take over the role then I wouldn't complain.

I want Stephen Beale and Vicky Fowler to return first, they are legacy characters after all.

Lol. I know what you mean. Kat treats Stacey like she did with Zoe. The funny thing is Kat didn't seem that bothered about Stacey in their first stint.

While soaps are never fully believable I do think it's a step too far recasting popular characters. I don't like that they've done it with Martin and I wouldn't be happy with Zoe either.

She could return as a one off. Her mum needs her right now and she could sort out the family a bit

I think Zoe's story is too iconic for that. (I don't mean the character, just that big moment).

I really would like to see Zoe return and meet her brothers on screen. Preferraby I would like it to be Michelle Ryan of only a guest stint if not permetant. Would settle for a recast though.

Zoe was three characters for the price of one.

Herself and also Philth and Grunt's secret identical twins hiding out from the law down the front of her dress.

It's just as important though IMO that Kat can focus on, remember as well as heaven forbid talk about Zoe (her older daughter) just as much as her younger children - even though it may not be all the time now (given the fact that Zoe's moved away, of course).

It is weird also as the OP says that Zoe is referred to and mentioned so little these days - but probably given Kat's much younger & "littler" children with Alfie and her obsession with Stacey (as some kind of surrogate daughter, which is actually quite a recent thing) there isn't then a lot of time or inclination available to talk about Zoe - although of course, I wish there was.

It's not to say that EE couldn't or wouldn't re-cast Zoe as Martin Fowler has now been, but given that MR really made the role her own originally, I wouldn't imagine it's very likely that TPTB would do so. Although it would be great to see Zoe back on the Square again, given the Chrissie / Sharon & Dennis history, particularly (which was somewhat unfinished at the time IMO)

They should never recast Zoe. Michelle Ryan's character will always be iconic.
