It is an injustice to kill off such an important legacy character and this decision needs to be reversed","additional_details":"Michelle Ryan began portraying Zoe Slater in 2000, a member of the groundbreaking Slater family. The storyline in which Zoe finds out Kat is her mother is one of the most remembered and referenced storylines in the shows history and the quote \r\n\r\n“You ain’t my mother”\r\n“Yes I am”\r\n\r\nIs still referenced daily\r\n\r\nIt was reported this week that Michelle Ryan had left the show and that Zoe would be killed off. This decision is a disgrace and I am starting this petition to try and get the decision reversed.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":6,"created_at":"2026-07-13T16:51:11.153Z","updated_at":"2026-07-22T11:23:05.009Z","rejected_at":"2026-07-22T11:23:03.350Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-07-13T17:01:20.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"irrelevant","details":""},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
