I absolutely agree.

I think the actress who plays Linda is awful but just my opinion..

Sharon is by far and away the best carictor on the show. But for some reason she's. It given the screen time and storylines she's rightly deserves, I mean she's the leading last, Linda's just some newcomer

Yes, that scene where she cried for my bwoi in afgannistaaaaan was would shame Meryl Streep!

Yes, forget that headtbreaking scene in Sophie's Choice.......

Linda's Choice!

Spot on. Its very Panto like. Kellie Bright is a brilliant actress playing a brilliant believable character.

She's worse than Letitia. Believable?!

I agree with this, it's as though Sharon is completely unaware of her actions. She is extremely selfish IMO, just look at her inability to see anything but good in her son which goes way and beyond normal maternal instinct. Only she matters, only her and her son are important. I also agree it's very different from the Sharon we once knew but the writers can almost get away with this change because of Sharon's long absence in that we haven't seen her develop in the intervening years.

IMO, Kellie Bright couldn't cry well in her scenes and she is very OTT.

Yep Sharon was selfish and bitchy but she needs to wake up and think about what she's saying as Linda was peeved at her!! I hope the writers write Sharon well in future.

I hope she catches Linda's 2 facedness out and calls her arse out on it. Not to mention Sharon suggested something a few weeks ago that would benefit both businesses while Linda continues to bitch and actively hires her own son (which is really low anyway but using your son like that!) to sabotage her business outrageous.
I know Johnny gets fired and rehired but Linda is lucky Sharon doesn't call the police on her son which she could have done. But I am sure when Sharon fires him it will be bad Sharon poor Johnny. Which is ridiculous.

She will never be Sharon Rickman to me, she will always be Sharon Watts.

I wish Sharon changes her name back to Watts.
