Sharon Watts’ future in EastEnders has finally been confirmed — and fans are in TOTAL shock over what happens next

EastEnders has confirmed Sharon Watts’ (Letitia Dean) future and whether she has any plans to return to Walford.

The beloved character surprised us all earlier this week when she arrived back in Albert Square in time for Vicki Fowler’s (Alice Haig) wedding to Ross Marshall (Alex Walkinshaw).

Sharon was last seen in October, when she departed Walford just weeks after staging a comeback.

Her return towards the end of 2025 saw Sharon deal with Zoe Slater’s (Michelle Ryan) claim that Dennis Rickman was the father of her twins.

Amid all the turmoil of Zoe’s comeback, the former Queen Vic landlady was also left reeling when Vicki was attacked by stepson Joel Marshall (Max Murray) and thus resolved to get her out of Walford.

Vicki subsequently returned without Sharon and she discovered that Zoe had fabricated the entire story about Dennis being her missing son’s dad.

Without wasting a second, she notified Sharon, who was so heartbroken by the development she resolved to stay away, stating that the news was like Denny had ‘died all over again’.

Sharon headed to America to stay with Michelle Fowler (Susan Tully), but had to return this week for her sister’s wedding.

And what a dramatic ceremony it’s been!

In today’s episode, now available on BBC iPlayer, Sharon is right in the middle of the drama as Ross violently confronts Zack Hudson (James Farrar) about his affair with Vicki.

After the chaos, Ross and Vicki end up having a private conversation alone about their relationship.

Vicki does her very best to convince Ross that she definitely wants to be with him, and they eventually decide to tie the knot after all, with Ross concluding that sometimes the best form of revenge is being happy.
