Unexpected baby twist as Sharon Watts harbours a major secret in EastEnders
This article contains spoilers for tonight’s EastEnders, which has not yet aired on TV but is available to watch now on BBC iPlayer.
Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) was finally released from prison in recent EastEnders scenes, and she is returning to Albert Square with a huge secret.
Sharon was sent to prison for contempt of court after lashing out at the judge during Dean Wicks’ trial.
While inside, Sharon ran into arch nemesis Chrissie Watts (Tracy-Ann Oberman), who revealed that she had previously shared a cell with none other than Ruby Allen (Louisa Lytton).
Not only that, but Ruby had been pregnant and was moved to a mother and baby wing when she gave birth.
Before being sent to prison, Ruby told Martin Fowler (James Bye) that she was pregnant with his baby, but he refused to believe her after uncovering countless lies she had already told him.
It didn’t take long for Sharon to realise that the baby must have been Martin’s, and when she returned to Albert Square she was quick to ask Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) for advice.
Sharon revealed her concerns that Ruby would only bring trouble into Martin’s life, but Phil insisted that keeping secrets would be worse in the long run.
