Spoilers: Sharon returns with a huge dilemma in EastEnders

Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) found herself unable to stay put in EastEnders following the tragic death of son Dennis Rickman (Bleu Landau), and therefore she resolved to leave, but during tonight’s episode she makes a resounding return — and it soon becomes apparent that she’ll have a huge decision to make.

Following Sharon’s departure, Phil (Steve McFadden) done everything in his power to buy her The Vic, and thus far, his attempts to make this future a reality have proven successful.

During tonight’s episode, the Mitchell hard-man gets quite the shock, as Sharon returns unannounced.

Afterwards, the pair soon catch up. However, said catch-up is interrupted by Ben (Max Bowden), who is intent on discussing the approaching job with his dad.

Sharon struggles to adjust to being back in Albert Square, and therefore she heads off to speak to Linda (Kellie Bright) — and while there, she reveals her desire to give things with Phil another go.

Linda gives her blessing to Sharon and Phil in regards to buying the Vic, and — later — the hopeful new landlords have a drink together.

However, Karen (Lorraine Stanley) and Billy (Perry Fenwick) soon turn up, and it all gets a bit much for Sharon.

Is she beginning to regret giving up Kayden?

She helps Linda pack upstairs, but they soon come across some of Dennis’ belongings.

How will Sharon react?
