More of this Sharon, please.”
Absolutely. There is something about the two characters that doesn't work well as a fully functioning couple, only either as secret lovers or feuding enemies. They certainly have a lot of chemistry, but not in this context - unfortunately Phil just over-powers Shaz, which is very uncomfortable to watch.
I should also add that Letitia Dean does not do 'drudge' well, so it is a mystery why the writers keep scripting her that way. Play to her strengths and have her queening it like the glory years:
