EastEnders Sharon returns as star says ‘there’s no escape’ after Keanu’s found
Sharon finally returns to Walford after fleeing following Keanu's murder at Christmas, but she is in for a shock when the café floor caves in and his body is discovered
Letitia Dean confirmed there is “no escape” for Sharon after Keanu’s body is found.
Sharon hasn’t been seen in Walford for months after she fled to Australia following Keanu’s murder. But she finally returns next week and heads straight to The Vic to see Linda (Kellie Bright).
Sharon calls a crisis meeting with the rest of The Six when she discovers that Johnny (Charlie Suff) knows everything about the events on Christmas Day and the murder weapon has gone missing. Letitia opened up about the reception Sharon receives when she finally reunites with the other women involved.
“It’s icy! Linda and all of the women think Sharon left them in the lurch to flee to Australia whilst they’ve been panicking and covering this up back in Walford,” the EastEnders star explained. “Even though she’s dealing with her own heartbreak, I think Sharon soon realises just how much all of the women have sacrificed, what with Linda relapsing, Kathy losing Rocky by shopping him to the police and Denise struggling to cope and having her marriage break down.”
When the murder weapon reappears, Sharon agrees to dump it. But unbeknownst to The Six, the floor in the café caves in. Denise (Diane Parish) packs a back and prepares to flee Walford, but Stacey (Lacey Turner) stops her by suggesting they go and retrieve the missing necklace.
However, it isn’t long before Keanu’s body is discovered underneath the floor. Letitia, 56, believes there is “no escape” for the women now that his remains have been found.

She explained: “It’s the unimaginable for all of them. Up until this point, they have managed to dodge every hurdle, some more successfully than others, but there is no escaping this one.”
Although all of The Six are in danger, it appears suspicion falls on Sharon as the police arrive and re-question her on the events of Christmas. The actress confessed that Sharon immediately puts a plan in place to ensure Albie is looked after if anything happens to her.

“Her first concern is Albie. Accepting what she believes is her inevitable fate, Sharon heads straight to Phil to make him promise to look after their son,” Letitia said. “He, of course, has no idea about her real motives, but she needs to make sure that if something were to happen to her, that their son would be safe.”
