I just remembered something. Did Roxy ever find out Phil and Shirley stole most of her money? perhaps he should have included Roxy in the will for Amy's future.

I'm surprised Rob Gittins wrote tonight's episode because he's the longest serving writer. But I shouldn't be too surprised because he was the one who wrote the 'Hello Princess' retcon.

I've despaired at Sharon plenty of times in this stint, and there have been plenty of times where her behaviour has been totally out of order. I don't understand the outrage with this one. She's ensuring that she and her son aren't left penniless/homeless after her husband's death, the husband who has put her through a lot of emotional and physical trauma, and whose businesses and children she has been looking after while he has been drinking himself to death. Nobody in that situation would have sat back and said nothing while Phil left everything to a child.

Yes she found out but he'd already put the money back. Ronnie stole £100.000 off him to pay him back....not that she gave any to Roxy. That's Mitchells for you.

This how I view it, why the smirking didn't do her any favours, Phil is yet again making a decision, a big life changing decision without involving her, at least discussing it, cutting not just her but Ben out show such little disregard or actually putting any thought into it.

Sharon should have never went back to him after he attacked her, she should have went through with taking his money. To go back to him, play happy families, then split up and go back again when he's a deaths door just comes across as a gold digger. I understand that you think she should be given something but the way it was written for me it didn't really show her in a good light.
The stuff she was saying about Ben was true, but I think that was overshadowed with her making Phil change it immediately.

So if Phil paid Roxy back her 3 million why does she never have any money? Does Roxy know about Shirley's involvement?

Are they? I seem to remember the divorce was granted, which is why is has confused me that Sharon is still calling herself Phil's wife. Did the divorce not go through?

So she isn't a gold digger, apart from the writing, the multiple examples of gold digging since her return, and her characterisation

No it never went ahead and they didn't get the decree absolute. They are still married.

Cos he stole her last 20k and not 3mill

He only stole 20k I think, cause she needed it to pay for Ronnie's first wedding. to Jack

He did a lot of dodgy work to pump his money up.

She knows about it , Shirley gets off scot free 90% of the time, its mostly swept under the carpet, Ronnie blackmail him for 100k and to get rid of Nick and the money got burnt.

She apparently spent all of her money, that's why she not had a proper job in 4 years until recently.

I thought that too.

Is Phil, Richie's only client?? Lool she was there and soon as he called with the changed Will. If that was me, I would have seen it as a bit iffy, guy in hospital will die in a few months or weeks, ex wife or wife (forget what sharon is now) there making sure it is signed.

They only stole £20,000, she blew the rest herself😏

So Roxy blew 3 million in six months? !!!

EastEnders has always been so unrealistic. No wonder its considered the joke soap.

Maybe he tore up the second will the minute Sharon left.

Still a bit surprised people seem to be condoning Phil's homophobia though just because they dislike Sharon.

I hope Ben finds out and lets Phil die a painful lonely death.

She bought a beauty salon, share in a club, car loads of expensive items and if I'm correct a flat. So actually it was realistic (especially for Roxy)

Danny and Glenda stole some of it. She bought a house and Roxy's (the salon) and new jeep so she did splash out a bit but there's no way she got through 3m. I remember Bryan Kirkwood referencing it on This Morning as, "Maths isn't our strong point." That's an understatement.

Also after apparently having nothing left (in terms of cash) at the end of 2010, Roxy sold her house, the salon and her stake in R&R in 2011 yet was penniless again a few months later.

She was pretty reckless like giving the Vic to Peggy and the Arches to Phil (IIRC) but even then she still had other assets eg. the salon, her house, and a stake in the club. So even cash poor at the end of 2010 she was not exactly on the breadline. The odd thing is when she sold her remaining assets off in 2011 that money just evaporated into thin air (unless she had loads of debt but I can't even believe she got through the initial 3m even with some unwise choices and Danny conning her let alone went even further to have loads of debt on top of that).

J-B is on a roll tonight .

Oh so it happened under his reign! lol now it makes sense

Poor Ben, he does not deserve this treatment by his nasty Dad. I can see & understand Sharons point, anyone who is married, expects their spouse to leave them something, if they do not already have joint accounts/ownership.

I don't see anyone condoning it....it was disgusting. Ben should have been his first consideration.
