Ever since Sharon came back from her break, she had been underused and she hasn't been mentioned in spoilers?

Why is she so underused at the moment? Sharon had always been a central character.

I quite like Sharon but it's true, Letitia Dean is not the best actress.

You can't blame Lorraine on the fact Letitia is such a bad actress.

You can blame Lorraine Newman...Lorraine has not just wrecked Sharon she alomost driven the show into the ground with her poor storylines and deadwood characters...

I think you look at some the past Sharon stuff on You Tube to remind yourself,

DTC will NOT axe Sharon so you wont get your wish...

I think Letitia Dean's acting is poor. I'm glad she's "under used" and hope she is axed.

She wont be axed love...sorry you wont get your wish on this one.

They wont axe iconic characters like Sharon

The best thing that has happened to Letitia Dean has happened- the departure of Lorraine Newman along with Jo Joyner and Scott Maslen.

Now DTC can sit down with Letitia Dean and map a comeback for Sharon- Letitia will want to be around for the 30th anniversary so I doubt very much that you will get your wish.

EastEnders is a dying soap and that is reflected in the fact they've destroyed their most iconic female character. The reason she's underused is because they've realised they can't write for her and have taken notice of the fact Sharon's many fans are up in arms because her comeback has been executed so badly. Standard EastEnders. They destroyed the biggest character they ever had (Dirty Den) and the linch pin of the entire series (Pauline Fowler). Sharon is a hat trick for them without even taking into consideration the near ruination of the biggest character from the 2000's (Kat) and the many senseless off screen deaths of important characters like Kathy, Cindy and Angie. Even Pat Butcher's death was unnecessary. EastEnders has no respect for its legends. You reap what you sow.

They have no idea what to do with her. So they gave her that awful addiction storyline and had her play second fiddle to Tanya and Jack.

I hate what the writers have done to our beloved Sharon. They brought her back but its clear they didn't have a clue what to do with her. I don't think Letitas acting is as good as it used to be but it isn't bad. Her character being ruined is because of ridiculous, repeititive, rushed storylines and poor writing.

Sharon and Shirley have been shoved into the background whereas complete crap and dull characters like Kirsty, Alice and Lauren have been given endless screentime with boring and repetitive storylines. Lorraine Newman ought to be ashamed of herself because for a woman with 23 years' experience at EastEnders, she's been a complete big fat failure.

Completely agree with you here Scott...

but Lauren, Alice and Kirsty are all guess what...BRANNINGS!

Alice and possibly Kirsty will be axed by DTC I think.

I agree with this so much. She's Den and Angies daughter for goodness sake! They're treating her appallingly. She's been part of some of the best, most memorable storylines in EastEnders history and is one of the biggest EastEnders legends ever and they're destroying her. She's been an absolute mess in this stint. Her return could've been so good!

LD might not be the best actress in the world, no denying she had some ropey moments but she knows her character and can play her to the best of her abilities.

What they've done is nothing short of pissing over everything that Sharon is as a character, she been reduced to second rate fodder and extra position for months its disrespectful to the show's history and its long time viewers and too the actress to see how much they've messed her character up, writing and storylines are crap since her return, I can't see Sharon staying on for another year or two doing nothing of any substance.

I hope DCT rectifies theses mistakes somehow but considering the team who brought her back is pretty much the same ones who have been there quite a few years even when she was there it doesn't bring much hope they're going to get it right.
