Beyond The Gates Recap: Naomi Learns June Has Two Children
Beyond The Gates Recap: Naomi Learns June Has Two Children originally appeared on Daytime Confidential. On today's Beyond The Gates recap: Garland Memorial Hospital: Shanice tries to play nice with Ashley, but she continues to be ice cold. Ashley thinks it's fascinating how quickly Shanice pounced on Derek. She admits she likes to sample the vanilla side of the menu on occasion. That being said, she will stand back if it makes Ashley feel better. She says Shanice should do what she wants. Ashley unconvincingly says she's over Derek and moved on. Just then, Andre arrives and Shanice understands just who is filling her head at the moment. Andre walks over and Shanice gets snarky before making her exit. Ashley and Andre get a wee flirty before he asks her on a date that very evening. They chat a bit more and Andre exits to prepare. A delivery person arrives with a package for Ashley which includes a beret and a note from Andre telling her to come right over. Shanice hovers and trades barbs with Ashley before exiting. Orphey Gene's: Leslie and Eva are laughing and reminiscing. Eva wonders when Leslie is going to play her angle. Leslie asks a favor and asks her daughter if she can pick up the check. She explains she was let go from her bartending gig because they are going for a younger crowd. Eva thinks they should sue but Leslie has no cash to do so. Eva wishes she had told her how bad things were as they could figure things out together. She grabs the tab and says she'll cover it but worries what her mother will do moving forward. Leslie says there is something or someone and heads out. Jacob walks in to meet Naomi and he and Leslie stare each other down. Naomi says she met up with June's sister, Regina, who slammed the door in her face. Jacob wants his wife to pull back, but Naomi is on a mission. Jacob spots Eva and wonders how she and Leslie could be this tight. Naomi notes toxic family members always pull you back in and they chat about her father's hold on her. Just then, June's sister Regina walks in. Kat and Chelsea's Place: Tomas and Kat get dressed. He is thrilled with their afternoon delight whilst she simply looks shell-shocked. He thinks it was everything he imagined while Kat simply says, 'it was definitely something.' Tomas asks if it was ok. She says it was 'lovely' and walks away. Tomas asks about 'lovely' and Kat says being close to him was everything. He asks if it was as good for her as it was for him, but she deflects. Tomas, once again, doesn't read the room and says he needs to get back to work. Chelsea walks in just as Tomas exits. Kat tells Chelsea nothing and they start to review work things. Chelsea looks down and sees a condom wrapper (a Magnum?). Kat smiles and Chelsea realizes they did the deed. Chelsea hugs her cousin who isn't in a very hugging mood. Kat snatches the condom wrapper as Chelsea gives her the business. Kat says they felt the vibe and went with it. Chelsea assumes all was perfect but Kat says she hated every minute of it. Kat thinks there's something wrong with her but Chelsea says the first time is usually awkward. Kat notes how kind and gentle Tomas was and Chelsea asks about the problem. She says she felt like she was watching everything from the outside. Her body was going through the motions but was not impressed with the act. Kat worries she is simply broken. Chelsea thinks Kat should give her and Tomas some grace and talk to him. Hotel – Ted's Room: Leslie arrives to see her Teddy Bear. Ted doesn't really want to see her but she makes her way into the room. Leslie admits she lost her job and mentions the age discrimination of it all. She asks for a loan and says she will pay him back. He doesn't just say no but not ever. Ted notes he already gave her fifty grand and wonders what happened to that money. He says she and her expensive tastes can go to hell. Leslie thinks Ted is a man who helps folks when they are down. Ted has no more time and opens the door for her to leave. Leslie ain't going anywhere saying she raised Eva by herself and protected him from child support payments. Ted says he was robbed of his own daughter (let's not rewrite history, Teddy Bear). Leslie thinks he is a decent man who will provide for one of his own. Ted throws Leslie out and she says she won't forget his actions. Orphey Gene's: Eva is making her exit when she runs into Tomas. He wants to chat about their earlier encounter, but she needs to go deal with her mama (He's a shady cat). With that, she exits. Later, Katherine meets up with Tomas who says there's something different about him today. Naomi is glad Regina tracked her down and says they've been trying to help June. Regina hasn't spoken to her sister in years. Naomi shows her June's picture and Regina immediately recognizes them. She pulls out her phone and shows Naomi the same picture. Regina says their names are Ron and Cecile (Tyrell and Samantha?) as they were June's children before they ended up in the system. She says June abandoned the kids and they were snatched up and adopted before she had a chance to try and get custody. Regina would have taken them in a minute. Leslie's Apartment: Eva arrives, and Leslie tells her about meeting up with Ted. She is furious Ted is being so stingy with his purse strings. Eva is annoyed her mother called her over for nothing resembling an emergency. Leslie wants Eva to ask Ted for a loan which she will then funnel to 'her broke-ass mama.' She indicates she could totally end up staying at the hotel with Eva and then urges her daughter to work her magic. Hotel – Ted's Room: Eva arrives and says she knows her mother asked for money. She doesn't blame her for turning her down but wonders if he could loan the money to her instead. Previous Beyond The Gates Recap: Endings Ted can't believe Eva is asking him to give her money for Leslie. Eva says the request is her choice but, Ted says he worries about the hold Leslie has on her. Eva says her mother really does need help and she needs to try and help her. She begs and Ted breaks. Ashley arrives at Andre's place and finds it all decorated like Paris. She is thrilled by how thoughtful he is and takes a seat at the table. Regina was devastated when those babies vanished into thin air. She tells Naomi and Jacob about her memories of the children and says she will never forgive June for throwing them away. Just then, June walks in and is stunned to see her sister. Keep checking back for the latest Beyond The Gates recaps!

EastEnders reveals who stole Kat's phone as Zoe's imminent return 'sealed'
EastEnders latest episode saw Kat Moon's phone stolen by a masked thief before she could listen to Alfie's voicemail message, and now Zoe Slater's return could be very soon There was a twist involving one of the Mitchells on EastEnders on Monday night. Kat Moon was just about to listen to her husband Alfie Moon's voicemail message, which she didn't know revealed all about the recent return of her daughter Zoe Slater, when she was mugged. A masked man on a bike sped past and grabbed the phone out of her hand. Later in the episode we learned the thief was none other than Harry Mitchell. He was shown playing around with a phone before chucking it in a bag in frustration. As he did this, the camera panned to the inside of the bag, with multiple phones shown. One of them had Kat and her young twin sons as a wallpaper, showing that it was Kat's mobile and Harry was the thief on the bike. But will he return the phone, and will Kat ever hear the voicemail? In the message, Alfie had wrongly believed Kat knew he was off finding Zoe after her abrupt return weeks ago. Zoe refused to see Kat and fled abroad, with Alfie soon heading off to try and bring her home. He was forced to tell Stacey Slater he'd lost her last week, after a trail ran cold following Stacey giving her money to Kat for the pub, instead of giving it to Alfie to pay off some men in the hope of locating Zoe. Both Stacey and Alfie have kept it all from Kat and instead, Stacey allowed Kat to think Alfie was helping her cousin Hayley and Alfie's daughter Cherry. So Alfie faced a race against time to get the phone and delete the voicemail to stop Kat learning the truth. But instead, Harry stole the phone which means the message will remain on there unless it deletes after a certain amount of time. So whether Harry returns the phone or she gets it back somehow all remains to be seen. Surely the message is a ticking time-bomb, as is the truth about Zoe. Will this phone theft and the message somehow trigger Zoe's comeback? After all, we know Zoe is returning to Walford very soon. Michelle Ryan, the actress who plays Zoe, has already begun filming summer scenes. With it very nearly August and her filming for weeks, it's safe to assume Zoe will be back in Albert Square, for the first time in two decades, very, very soon. Within a few weeks it's thought she will be back on the show, given the gap between filming and transmission. So something has to happen relatively soon that will trigger Zoe's Walford comeback - but will it be linked to Harry and the phone theft? Might he answer a call or listen to the message and realise the importance of Kat getting her phone back? Might Zoe make contact? Viewers will just have to tune in and see what happens next.

Kat issues Alfie a serious warning in EastEnders amid yet another Zoe twist
Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) has returned to EastEnders – and has received a firm warning from wife Kat (Jessie Wallace) concerning the multitude of lies he's told her. As viewers of the BBC One soap know, he's spent the last few weeks searching for his estranged step-daughter Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan), who fled London for Barcelona after telling him that she'd done something 'so bad' that her family would disown her. Zoe and Kat haven't seen one another in years, and she was adamant that her mother play no part in her life. As a result, Alfie had to think quickly for an excuse to leave. He first told his family that his brother Spencer (Christopher Parker) – who lives in Australia – was in turmoil, so had to rush off to be by his side. Of course, it didn't take long for the truth to out and Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) was forced to say Alfie had suffered a cancer scare, and was in Spain trying to clear his head. Stace's mum Jean (Gillian Wright) then began asking questions about what was going on, and yet another lie was created – that Alfie needed money to track down his own daughter Cherry, after her mum Hayley (Katie Jarvis) ended up in a bad way. Kat got wind of what was being discussed, and saw red. She couldn't wait for Alfie to return so that she could confront him. Back in Spain, Alfie thought that Kat knew about Zoe. While drunk, he poured his heart out and told her everything about what was going on in a voicemail message. Arriving back in tonight's episode, he feared the worst. He was firstly surprised to learn that he was now landlord of The Queen Vic, with Kat making the purchase in his absence. She put on a façade, making it seem like she was thrilled to have him home. But as he relished in the glory of getting away with his many, many fibs, Kat slung a bouquet of flowers around his head and drenched him in champagne. Upstairs, Alfie assumed she'd listened to the voicemail. However, as their conversation progressed, it became clear that she still believed that he was trying to find Hayley and Cherry. Kat – having calmed down – said that it would be wrong for her to dismiss his concerns about his daughter, and that if she ever found herself in that situation with Zoe she knew he'd feel similar. But there was one condition. The lies stopped immediately. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street? The latest gossip from Emmerdale?

More Trending But there was one big issue. She still hadn't listened to the voicemail from the night before, and despite Alfie's attempts to delete it, it was still there. She headed out into Bridge Street for some privacy, with Stacey rushing after with an excuse to bring her back in. However, just as Kat pressed play on the incriminating voice note, she was mugged by a lad on an e-scooter. Later, it transpired that this person was drug dealer Okie (Aayan Ibikunle Shoderu), who then dropped the device off at Harry Mitchell's (Elijah Holloway) flat.
