Sharon’s Sudden Exit And The Mystery Around Her Absence
Sharon has been missing ever since the mess with Zoe Slater. She had lied about the twins being Dennis Rickman’s. The intention was to squeeze money out of her.
However, when Sharon learnt the truth from Vicki, it broke her completely. Hence, she ran off to Michell Fowler’s place in Florida. The shaken woman wanted to get her head straight.
So since then, the fans didn’t receive any information about her situation or possible return. In fact, they didn’t even learn of her whereabouts in the recent episodes. However, after Phil Mitchell talked to Mark Fowler Jr. things changed. Phil said that Mark could run The Boxing Den for a bit since Sharon and him are joint owners of the place.
And the way Phil mentioned it caught everybody’s attention. He mentioned Mark managing the place until she gets back. This felt like a hint rather than a throwaway line. Even Mark quickly agreed to it. This is because Phil had helped him sort out the situation with the informant. This was kind of a first sign that Sharon hasnt gone forever. But it’s still unknown when she will return to Walford again.
Fans React To Phil’s Hint And Start Predicting Sharon’s Return In EastEnders
Fans took it as a direct hint that Sharon’s comeback is already on its way. One viewer wrote, “OMG SHARON IS RETURNING!!”
And others admitted that they have been waiting for months for this to happen. Another said, “Walford has not felt the same without her.” A third user mentioned, “I miss Sharon so much! I hope she returns at some point in 2026.”
Some users also wrote that the show feels empty without strong characters. This included Stacey, Suki and Sharon as they are all missing at the same time. For now, the expectation is set.
