Since the cast list has come out for the 17th August we've noticed Marcus Christie is back;
We also know Kathy is back;
Sharon's solicitor Margaret is on the cast list on 14th

Why is Marcus back, Has DTC dropped the biggest clue on Fridays episode;

Marcus Christie SHARONS FATHER
I know sounds very odd but another reason;
When Sharon said shes dropping the search for her real dad, Margaret said that's a good idea and then the camera looked at the vic!
Margaret last appearance said that Den was close to her real father.... Marcus worked with Den Watts when he helped Den con the vic from the mitchells; Why? Maybe Marcus wanted to help Den in the end with conning the vic because he knew it would benefit Sharon having stability in the vic in her home;
Why did Marcus agree to help Sharon? Clearly he could of ran and even if Sharon threatened him with Phil. Maybe it was guilty of him giving her up;
Why didn't we see Phil finish off Marcus when Phil found out they were planning to steal from Phil; Maybe Ritchie found out Marcus is Sharons real dad and kept it from her all this time.

I know a few things don't add up but why did the camera go straight to the vic!

REVENGE on PHIL
Maybe hes gonna help Max get out and will try and set Phil Up?

Something to do with Kathy/Gavin
We haven't heard of Gavins return date but we know Kathy and Marcus are making comebacks on the same day 17th, Maybe he knows something...Reveals to Sharon what Phils been up too; Hence why she gets the doof doof moment by being the first on the credits;

Chrissie
DTC said a lot of familiar faces are returning in the summer; could he be pinning up a top secret return; Maybe Chrissie is planning with Max Branning inside jail and Marcus Christie is seen to be helping due to all three of them being crossed by Phil/Sharon


This is just speculation and I put spoiler tags because people may not know of the returns;

I like this logic OP.

I like the logic of "HERE'S A SPOILER YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE WANTED TO KNOW - TOO LATE YOU'VE READ IT NOW!!! (may contain spoilers)"

Chrissie and Max Branning scheming in prison? what is it a unisex prison? lol

but yes do you have an interesting theory here, but I'm pretty sure Gavin Sullivan will be revealed as Sharon's father

Pray tell, how would Chrissie end up in a male-only prison with Max?

Tracy-Ann Oberman is about to open in London as one of the leads in a play about the fashion designer Alexander McQueen so I don't think Chrissie could be in EE for any period of time these days.

As far as I can recall it was hinted at by Den that he had some dirt on Marcus Christie. That information along with the incentive to rob the Mitchells blind is what prompted Marcus to help Den swindle The Vic out of Sam Mitchell's grasp. It's actually plausible Marcus could have got an underage Carol (Sharon's birth mother) pregnant but I still think Gavin Sullivan is her dad.

Gavin is Sharon's Father- he has to be.

Erm.... Some people may not know about the cast list hence why I've put may contain spoilers

We know GAVIN been writing to her!
But we also know kathys GAVIN has been stopping kathy coming back to the UK, if he's stopping her why? He could of gone back to the UK to find Sharon hence the writing.

Just seems silly Gavin stopping kathy who wants to be with her family return ro the UK and then he writes to her that he's been searching for her knowing she's in the UK!
Seems very mixed up if Katy's Gavin is Sharon dad

Could be a brief return,

Some actors can so other stuff and be in EE

Jake wood - strictly and on EE
Scott maslen - strictly and on EE

Not sharing, open prison... I'm sure they will have to work in the same prison....

You never know chrissie may of bumped into him has they've both walked past each other to see visitors....
Chrissie may have inside info

Tracey from CS worked with two makes to get Gail turned over. Like chrissie mentioned in her last appearance something about finding someone inside and getting married or Sean slater said to Johnny alien that he think he's needs to settle down, find a new wife inside...

Well den knows who her father is.
When den returned Ian said that she met someone out there (presuming Gavin) and he's only got back (I think)

Kathy would of said something about Sharon and showed pics etc or even Ian too and has we know Gavin been writing to her to search for Her, if he knew that he would of flown back to find Sharon. We know that Gavin been stopping her returning to UK

OMG Marcus Christie is Sharon's Real Father

Something to do with Claudette

Why would Max want to get revenge on Phil? and hasn't he learnt his lesson.

I still remember when he screwed Phil and Sam over, a brilliant episode, it'll be interesting to see what the story is this time
