Zoe Slater’s Final Exit Explained | Entertainment and Celebrity News

Her character was killed off, meaning this return, which happened last June after a 20-year absence, is her final one. She had only been back for about a year before her scenes were filmed. Earlier this week, Ryan was seen out with Jesse Wallace, who plays her on-screen mother-cats Slater. They shared some photos on social media, showing them enjoying a day together.
