The BBC soap’s autumn season kicked off with a bang this week as Zoe Slater made her long-awaited return to Walford<\/a> after 20 years.<\/p>\n

In an unexpected storyline twist, Zoe’s comeback converged with Max Branning’s reappearance<\/a> as flashbacks showed they’d had a fling earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Speaking to us at an EastEnders press event this week, Wadey commented: “This week kicks off a really big autumn for us. There’s lots of drama ahead for lots of different families, so we’ve seen a few stories really building recently.<\/p>\n

“We’ve got Joel’s story<\/a>, which in the next couple of months is going to really come to a head.<\/p>\n

“We’ve got Lauren and Peter and Oscar. There’s plenty of drama to unfold there.<\/p>\n

“And of course, Zoe is now back in the Square, and Zoe and Kat’s relationship is complicated\u2026” <\/p>\n

Revealing how Kat and Zoe’s reunion plays out from here, he continued: “There’s 20 years there for them to try and recover and get to know each other. I think Kat’s been expecting one thing when Zoe would come back and actually, meeting your adult daughter is more complicated than perhaps Kat thinks.<\/p>\n

“There’s a lot for them to get to understand about each other. Zoe has a lot of secrets that she’s going to bring into the Square with her. So the Slaters are in for a whole ride this autumn \u2013 and there’s a lot to kick off there.”<\/p>\n

The show’s team are also thought to be working on a new spin-off documentary for BBC Three and iPlayer<\/a>, which will further explore the issues raised in Joel’s radicalised misogyny storyline.<\/p>\n

EastEnders<\/strong> airs on Mondays-Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes drop early at 6am ahead of their TV broadcast. <\/strong><\/p>\n
