EE- Kirkwood Should Have Brought Back Chrissie & Sharon Instead Of Kat/Alfie
Really think after Tracy Ann Obermann saying a few months back she really wanted to join the show again. It should have been her brought back & then Sharon could have returned to the Square to get her out of the Vic. Sharon then could have found out of Phils part in Dennis death. So much could have been done with Sharon if she had been brought back.

I'd explode with happiness if Chrissie and her big hair came back. She was Eastenders for me when she was last in it.
I'm not sure what's left for her now though but if they could contrive a reason for her return, it'd be great. |

I'd adore Chrissie and Sharon back but I don't see why it has to be instead of Kat and Alfie. They could have easily had Kat and Alfie not in the vic or Sharon back in the club and chrissie coming back to the square for some other reason. I say this because chrissie wouldn't be able to come back to the vic anyway and I doubt sharon would want too - her dad was burried in it
.. Obviously I don't mean all four return at once, spread over a year or so.. I don't care if anyone thinks there's too many returns or whatever, I cared a million times more about the characters of Kat, Sharon and Chrissie than I do about 80% of todays cast unfortunately I wouldn't feel the need to look to past characters if there was characters I could really care about in todays cast but unfortunately the golds, heather, connor, mercy, roxy, lauren just don't do it for me

No thanks.
Sharon is an EE icon and one of my all time greats. I don't trust Kirkwood to not ruin her given the horrific Kat and Alfie comeback. |

Ronnie and Janine wouldn't have many storylines left if Chrissie and Sharon were to return.
Their return would've been better but I like Kat and find Alife to be alright. |

I've heard it all now. Sharon I can understand but Chrissie is a no mark. No one outside this forum would have a clue who you were talking about. She was hardly a key character in Eastenders history. You might as well ask to bring Roly back. at least people would remember him.

Disagree! Chrissie's been one of my fave characters since 2004 this forum isn't responsible for my liking of her at all. She carried 05, I'm sure people know who she is

I've always said Sharon should come back and be much more mumsy than buisness woman this time around. Their is huge potential in that. Sharon didn't think she was going to be a mother so she threw herself into her career, but know she has a child. I'd love to see her come back with her still owning the bookies, she could leave Carol and Glenda to run it and she could get a house/flat on the Square and her focus could be her child. I'd have Jane set up her own nursary and Sharon could get involved with that and form good friends with Jane and Tanya. Then a few people who knew Chrissie, Kat, Phil and Ian all have possible sightings off her but shrug it off until they all end up talking about it one night, at that moment they turn to see the bar doors open... Chrissie's back. She's been released from jail and has been rehomed near Walford. We'd then see her trying to rebuild her life in this community where she destroyed it. Some good material there. I'd like her and Tanya to bond over their hatred for their exhusbands who they still loved.
Potential to be awesome? |

I don't think Chrissie and Sharon could suddenly turn lesbian, fall in love, then run the vic together where Den was killed and buried.
That would be as silly as someone getting buried in the middle of the square.....oh wait... |

Have ALOT more to say on this - but no time atm so will come back - you lucky people!
![]() But I don't think 2010 was the right time to bring back Sharon or Chrissie. Even though well handled returns of these two could do wonders for EE. But TAO says she wants to return in the context of being asked a question. She is ONE OF THE FEW actors who, when asked about EE, say they would love to go back and don't slag the show off. It is very refreshing. And she also loved her character. But she is one of the few who don't have to return - she has been very successful elsewhere. I think Letitia Dean may be coming round to a return - but it is probably only a recent thing. Dean has also been comparatively successful. Didn't she have a big fitness video (which may have made her a lot of money) and she did quite a bit of light theatre (high school musical) and that calender girls thing. Don't know what she has done most recently. |

How long does someone get for Murder (or was it manslaughter) these days? When would it be plausible for Chrissie to be released?

The ONLY thing we have is Sam's little plea about running into Chrissie when she was in jail. But that was an assumption on her part. We don't even know if Chrissie was in jail - or what she was convicted for. COuld be anything. She may only have got accomplice of murder. Who knows. Without witnesses the only thing the police have are a very weirdly worded confession on CCTV; and her word to Sharon. On niether occasion did she mention Sam or Zoe, so as soon as that gets brought in her confession starts to look very odd. A good lawyer would have a field day. That, I suspect, is how they will get around the problem IF they bring her back. This isn't like Tracy Barlow who got convicted on screen. We never saw a trial or anything, there is a lot of room IF Chrissie is ever brought back. |

Tracy Ann said herself this year now was the exact right time for her to return. I dont know why Kirkwood didnt get her back after her saying this or Santher either. Also Santher brought back so many characters and didnt ask Letitia Dean. Also could have tied in with Danielas Westbrooks exit this year with Chrissie returning that Sam fled immediately. I really hope Eastenders big return of 2011 will be Sharon ten years after ''Ello Peggy''

With GOOD WRITING there is no reason why Chrissie can't return; but we have to be realistic. Good writing is still hard to come by on EE, and there needs to be as many things in favour of a return for it to work these days. It isn't like Sharon's return in 2001, where you can make a mountain out of a molehill in terms of reasons for returns. You only have to look at these forums to see how people go on about "What is there left for her on the square"; "She can't legally come back [even though we don't know what she may or may not have been convicted of]"; "Why would she come back"; etc., etc. People these days what everything lined up. I DON"T believe that. I believe it is possible to have Chrissie return - BUT it would need good writing. I'm not convinced there is enough of that to spare in EE atm. As for Sharon - we all know WHY Santer never asked Dean back. Despite the denials, it is pretty clear that R&R are Sharon split down the middle: spoilt, fiery princess on the one side, cool, determined, wilful tragic heroine on the other. It is why Sharon is a much more dynamic character than either - because she is the some of the two combined!!!! Bringing back the original would inevitably overshadow the copies, and that is why Santer didn't go down that path - despite the fact, let's face it, that Sharon is generally the number 1 character on peoples lists to return. So it is odd that the king of returnees didn't bother with her - because she would overshadow his pet characters. |

Well, I would have to respectfully disagree with TAO on this one. Besides, she said it at the time Sam was having her various returns (iirc) - maybe TAO thought Samw ould be around a bit longer. Also, I'm not at all sure she wasn't saying it a bit tongue in cheek.

I actually find it weird enough having Ronnie AND Kat on screen together given that they pretty much have the exact same histories; rape, teenage pregnancies, fathers taking the baby, big reveal - one resulting in dannielle dead the other resulting in kat trying to kill herself, further miscarraige, on/off relationships, both pregnant again etc etc. Sharon coming back would just be odd having them both on screen at the same time I think. I mean if they overlapped by a few months if say Sam Womack had already quit and Sharon came back then that's fair enough but if they're both there for the forseeable I think there would be a bit of a clash of these characters. Plus it would almost be a waste to have them both at once. I think it would make more sense to consider a Sharon retutn after Ronnie's exit, whenever that day comes. As for Chrissie, I would LOVE for her to return but as said above it would need to be done really carefully. It is possible because we NEVER saw her trial and the only evidence was her saying to Jake "it was me blah blah" caught on tape and the fact she used a phrase of words to sharon.. so what she actually got convicted for we never knew. In saying that it would need to be done really carefully because I could imagine an uproar of people saying "she can't go to walford if she's been done for murdering someone there" etc etc. |

Sadly unless her conviction is overturned Chrissie can never return to Walford. A person who is sentenced for a murder crime can never return to the area the crime was committed in as part of their parol once released. I think EE closed the door firmly shut on Chrissie and the Den Watts era.
I'd love to see Sharon back but Kat and Alfie are right for the Vic. If Sharon ever returned she would suit running Fargos or something similar. I actually think that would be a good direction for her and it stops her from being so connected to the Pub. |

But I agree that if they do say she got convicted of first degree murder then she shouldnt come back unless overturned PS: I am also less sure about EE turning it's back on den watts era. A few years ago I'd have agreed, but grantham is increasingly turning up in those BBC 3 things (which he never really did from 06-08) and there is less negativity associated with him now. |

Sharon and Chrissie returning would never happen.
For one Sharon no longer has a place in the square. What would Sharon do when she comes back. |
