I feel like Sharon will leave sooner than we thought. She's obviously not the same Sharon we saw all those years ago. Obviously to death of Dennis made her weak, but I'm tired of this "giving up" Sharon. DTC already said that he wanted to give Sharon the time of day after she was stuck in bed for what seemed like a year, but I don't think he's properly shown us what Sharon can do.

Thus, I feel like Sharon could leave for the same reason that many people have, because she's not getting enough out of the character. I may be wrong, and she may still be on TV for years to come.

Phil sent the hitmen on Sharon because he felt she was gaining the upper hand. And as soon as Sharon's back on track and she had this massive plan which I really wanted to see go into action, Phil has the upper hand again.

Prove me if I'm wrong but Sharon's nowhere near as strong as she used to be.

Obviously can't be sure how her current storyline will play out but think its time to retire the character.

It's a shame because I think many people would like to see the Sharon of old back but for some unknown reason the writers just don't want it.

having your partner die changes you
having a child changes you.

you would have to be a pretty resiliant person to have all those things happen and not change or grow as a person.

sharon is responsible for denny and to some extent a single mother to him with no family around so I would never expect her to act in the way she did in her younger care free days

Her acting is so bad that she can't lead a major storyline. In the past she was always a sidekick to other key players who were good actors. That support network is basically gone and Sharon as a lead actor is not working. Time to either pension her off or bring back (say) Michelle character with a good actress. The new actress could carry her.

I think Sharon was good in her older stints but this latest one has failed dramatically. They are putting a lot of effort into bringing her back and trying to recapture the Sharon of old but It's not working imo. I don't think Sharon works with a child either.

They should bring back Vicki and give Sharon a family unit.

Sharon and Denise are both seriously lacking families.

They'd never sack the actor so it'll be down to her.

I think Letitia is back for the long haul so I don't see her leaving.

I don't think turning her into an out and out criminal was the answer.

I dont think that was the point. Sharon had discovered that she was beaten up by thugs sent by nine other than Phil, with whom she has had an on off fling with for years and the man who is meant to be madly in love with her, them man whom Sharon has always loved (albeit more likely platonically than romantically). The fact that Sharon Watts was always a just and strong woman and exacting revenge on him is quite in chatacter and shows she is being repaired

She was pushed over by one bloke who went too far. No way did Phil tell them to hurt anyone and he couldn't have known she's sacked the bouncers...he paid them to protect her and his business.

If she wanted revenge she should have got him arrested and left him, not jumped back in bed with him and stolen from him. Denise got it right...you don't stoop to their level.

Sharon & Linda are been lined up as the new Peggy & Pat in my view so I think Letitia will be around for a while but the Albert really needs to be used more..

Kat, Stacey, Ronnie etc are essentially the same character we see but completely different to how they was originally was when they come in because as time has gone on they've been molded and changed by various writers/EP.

Sharon is no different, she had a bad year on her return in 2012/13 that was down to the complete direction of how BK took her.

I think she got better but damage was done, I did think this storyline would bring her back to the forefront but started with promise but went back to the worshiping of Phil, it wasn't even fleecing Phil, it was for once him being punished for his actions, and the woman coming out on top and stronger but as usual other things have come in to play to ruin it.

I think if she come out of this with nothing and back sofa hopping with Denny then yes she should leave as I rather not see her play that tune again.

I get the feeling though LD might be here for awhile yet, it's job security at the end of the day.

Dont read it if you dont like your previous Sharon being slated. You have created more than enough Sharon and Cora praising threads

That would be boring though, no storyline with just him him being reported and arrest as he always gets out of it.

You could say it was boring that Denise just walked away from Ian. She lived with him longer and he treated her like utter sh!t. But I loved her dignified exit after she'd told him a few home truths...I would thought the less of her if she'd set out to steal his home and business without a thought to his family.

It's a shame because I think many people would like to see the Sharon of old back but for some unknown reason the writers just don't want it.
Then maybe it's time for the writers to be retired. They're the ones who messed Sharon up and, let's face it, they haven't exactly been churning out classic storylines lately.

Her acting is so bad that she can't lead a major storyline. In the past she was always a sidekick to other key players who were good actors. That support network is basically gone and Sharon as a lead actor is not working. Time to either pension her off or bring back (say) Michelle character with a good actress. The new actress could carry her.
Absolute nonsense. Her acting is perfect for the character. She's been on fine form this week and ever since the assault at The Albert. Sharon was never held up by other characters. She just had a better supporting cast in previous stints and has been off the show for several years so hasn't fully settled back in yet due to not having any proper family members on the square like other returnees have had. She led the Sharongate and Shannis storylines in the past so I don't know where you got the idea she was always a sidekick.

I was looking forward to her fleecing Phil, but they have RUINED IT
I'm keeping in mind that the storyline hasn't played out fully yet but it does seem DTC led us up the garden path with his promises of bringing Sharon back "old style". The obsession with Phil being invincible and always coming out on top has seriously damaged this show and the characters he interacts with. Another reason it is the writers and not the actors who need to be retired. It's very disappointing that after all this build up Sharon has ditched her revenge plan and Phil is about to exact revenge on her. It's going to take a lot to salvage this mess.

That would be boring though, no storyline with just him him being reported and arrest as he always gets out of it.
Agreed. Soaps need drama. There is no drama in Sharon reporting Phil to the police and him slinking off the hook yet again. I'm not overly concerned if she fleeces him but she should end up with The Albert at least and the viewers deserved to see Phil get his comeuppance. Silly season at EastEnders never ends.

It's not Denise style though she isn't like that, Ian cheated on her but don't think it's in the same league as what Phil has done, she stayed out of guilt because of the Lucy situation. Ian maybe slimy but his hardly a Brut either.

Sharon knows Phil is much cleverer then that he won't own up or take responsibility for what his done, never has, never will, completely different situation aswell tbh, this storyline is much more prominent for a reason because of the character's involved, simply walking away and reporting him wouldn't be a option and would have no fall out or aftermath, it's being taunt as dramatic for a reason.

Afternoon all. Another day, another Sharon thread.
She can revive if the will is there from the writers but they totally squandered the Dennis stuff. It should have defined her for her first year back and ended with the reveal of Phil's role in it and her attacking him, a reprise of the destruction of Sharongate. Then bring Peggy back for a cameo instead of all that Karl rubbish. We'll see how the wedding stuff goes but I have found the revenge story disappointing so far. They promised much more than they delivered. When she leaves I think I will too as the rest of EE isn't really doing it for me on a consistent basis.

Sorry to disappoint all of you Sharon haters, but I don't think that DTC would ever let Sharon go (unless Letitia Dean DECIDED to leave)

Stop praying that she'll leave anytime soon, unless you've got nothing else to do

I am loving Sharon's character, she's brilliant now! She was like watching paint dry for about a year, but now she's very exciting! I hope she stays for years to come! There's lots they could do with sharon, I can't see them getting rid of her, or her leaving, now she's being used more! I feel like the character has become a lot more watchable lately! Obviously you disagree, but I'm loving sharon WATTS now!:P Phil will always have the upper hand I think, but we'll have to see how the storyline plays out.
