EastEnders star Alice Haig addresses possible Sharon Watts return

EastEnders star Alice Haig addresses possible Sharon Watts return

Published by Daniella Wilson

Wedding fever is on the horizon in EastEnders, though there could be one notable absence. Ahead of Vicki Fowler’s big day, actress Alice Haig has addressed the possibility of her half-sister Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) returning for the big day. Sharon has spent much of the last year visiting Vicki’s mum, her old pal Michelle Fowler, in Florida. She originally departed following Martin Fowler’s (James Bye) funeral, admitting to her family that she needed time away to grieve. She finally staged a comeback in September last year, after hearing that Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) had returned to Walford and was seeking the estranged son she’d conceived with her late husband Dennis Rickman. Sharon was furious, still blaming Zoe for her dad Den’s demise two decades earlier, though eventually offered to cough up the cash that she needed to pay for a private investigator. If she found the missing child, he could potentially reignite some of Dennis’s legacy.

Published by Daniella Wilson

Tracy-Ann Oberman has had quite the day. The EastEnders actress not only wrapped up her latest stint in Albert Square, but also accepted an MBE from King Charles at an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle – something she initially thought was a parking fine. “It comes in a really official looking brown envelope. And I thought, ‘Oh God’,” the star joked to Radio Times. “My husband said, ‘What have you done?’, and I thought I hadn’t paid something. I opened it, and I was really delighted to find out that I’ve got an MBE from The King in his Birthday Honour’s list.” Oberman’s final EastEnders scenes have aired – for now. BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron The order of chivalry isn’t the only award that Oberman has been bestowed during her career, which spans over three decades. From best actress to best newcomer, she’s also won soap bitch of the year twice over for her performance as scheming Chrissie Watts.
