Former EastEnders star Michelle Ryan ‘hints’ at Zoe Slater comeback in cryptic social media post

Former EastEnders star Michelle Ryan has hinted that she may return to the soap as Zoe Slater in a cryptic new post to her social media.

Reuniting with co-star Kacey Ainsworth (who played screen sister and, uh, aunt Little Mo) as they headed out on a dog walk, Michelle reflected on their time on the soap together in a heartfelt post to her Instagram account. “Our boss John Yorke took a real risk putting a family of women in the show and it paid off as on one week when Zoe found out that Kat was her mother viewers tuned into the BBC for 19, 18, 20 and 21 million per episode plus the omnibus.” Since then, viewers have been holding out for a return from Michelle – who went on to star in an episode of Doctor Who, the sci-fi series The Bionic Woman, and comedy-horror film Cockneys vs Zombies.
