Maybe condoning it is the wrong word but people seem to be more angry with Sharon than they are Phil for cutting his son and granddaughter out of his will.

Oh I think that's awful too and I was glad Sharon pointed this out to him. It's just she looked self-serving when she settled for only her own inclusion in the end.

Sharon's actions are worse then anybody's, your learn that soon enough on here

Characters change though. Imo the Sharon Watts who once was, has not been for ages now. She just seems to be this weak doormat for any Man (she seems to love e.g Dad, Husband etc. To walk over)

She had no right to force Phil to change anything. A will is a will for a reason. Infact in real life Sharon would not even be in the room while he updated or done it.

Anyone who is in a loving marriage maybe. Sharon kissed his brother not long ago and wanted to divorce him. So really he would not be out of line leaving her nothing. Not sure Sharon should expect much anyways the Mitchells have always been about blood anyways.

Phil is rotten, we expect no different. I think he has lost the power to shock us.

This. I do not understand why people feel Phil has to make sure Denny is not left Potless. It is Sharon who needs to provide for her sons future.

Yeah she should be the one providing for Denny. I don't understand why she's so reliant on Phil, he attacked her and instead of that being a wake up call she settles down with him. Then when she finally leaves him, instead of doing her own thing she's crawling up his arse again.
Ok spouses expect to be left something, but are Phil/Sharon still married?? Phil is horrible for leaving Ben out his Will, as for Sharon maybe it's time for her to see Phil dgaf.

He should be including Ronnie and Roxy in his will at least, as they know about business, and can still keep the Mitchell 'legacy'.

Sharon annoyed me so much Tonight

She owned half the Albert, a bar Phil built for her. She could have easily provided for Denny with that. Instead she sold up and threw the money away...and I didn't see her consulting Phil or giving him half of the payout. It seems that sharing only goes one way.

Disgusting. Hope he divorces her before he will die and she is cut out asap. Horrid selfish character who tbh I'd rather see die before Phil.

I can see why she hoped Phil would leave her something, to be honest she will be the main breadwinner for the family if Phil dies and rather Sharon had some control over it than Louise blow it all, as for the scene where it seemed she was only content with her being in the will, I interpreted it as her having lectured him on including Ben and pushing him to do the right thing by reminding him it was his choice despite his homophobia. She did look rather pointedly at him as if to say 'go on put Ben in the will too'

I agree totally. Sharon deserves something, the amount of things she has covered up for him. And he has treated her terribly at times, i.e paying a stranger to pretend be her real dad?! That was insane. When Sharon forgave that I thought the writers were mad, but since she did, she deserves her share!

To me it came across as a move to purposefully hurt Ben so he backed out of the operation. Of course phil could just refuse the op, but his mind moves in strange ways.

Really ? if you had stood by someone like Phil to find he had cut you out in favour of a teenager would you not be angry and try and change his mind. That isn't gold digging it is common sense and self preservation

As Philth's widow, wouldn't Sharon be entitled to his estate anyway? I think he left Ben out to get him to change his mind about donating his liver. I think he left Sharon and Dennis out because he doesn't give a **** about them. Money is the only reason left for Sharon to stay with Philth. He's treated her like dirt and was planning to leave her with nothing when he dies. Clearly he has no plans to pay Grant back the money he owes him either.

Good old Phil. Grant, Ben, Sharon, Dennis, Jay and Billy stick by him for years and he leaves all his money to a daughter he barely knows. What a complete prick!

Yep Sharon revealed her true gold-digging self right there and it's the only reason she has stuck around not so long ago she wanted a divorce but now there is a chance Phil might die and she could get her gold-digging hands on his loot and whatever else she's hanging around like a bad smell.

Only problem with that theory is what if Phil died before he change the will again? Ben would be left with nothing.

Completely agree!! I'm still baffled at the ott reaction to Sharon on here. Anyone with common sense would have reacted the same way.

I'm not impressed at all by him. Then again I'm not surprised by them completely changing sharon to suit the plot

Writers are basically told what to put in the script by the story producer who is Alex Lamb. Lamb has never understood Sharon at all and I think its partly down to him being a Shirley fan boi and for some reason Shirley and Sharon fans seem to hate each other.

Sharon and Shirley are both wonderful characters but for some reason Tptb seem to think they are better as enemies when on their recent scenes they have shown they are great sparring buddies.

EE annoys me in their depiction of women at times

I don't think it is Sharon being a gold digger. For him to leave everything to Louise is terrible. Even if he left nothing to Sharon you would expect him to leave a share to Ben and if I were Ben I would not be giving him my liver/kidney or whatever it is.

I'm wondering if Sharon is still holding anger towards Phil for his role in Dennis Rickman's death and she feels he owes Denny because of this? If Dennis hadn't died, he would be providing for Denny, and maybe she feels that because of what Phil did, he should be taking that into account when leaving money in his will? Leaving money to her in the will would ultimately go to Denny?
