Sharon Watts takes shocking action in EastEnders over ex lover
KEANU Taylor resurfaced in Albert Square in late 2022 and was keen to be reunited with Sharon Watts.
After rejecting him, the EastEnders royalty is set to take action over her former lover next week on BBC One.
The gym owner portrayed by Letitia Dean has had her fair share of heartbreak due to her taste in men.
With Phil Mitchell being the latest to discard her in favour of fiancée Kat Slater, Sharon has been pushing matters of the heart to the side.
All that seemed to change when Keanu Taylor (played by Danny Walters) made a surprise reappearance in December, 2022.
While they bonded over their love for their son Albie Watts, Sharon made it clear they wouldn’t be rekindling their romance any time soon after Keanu left her broken for more than three years.
But in scenes due to air next week, Sharon backtracks as she’s set for a steamy reunion with Keanu.
It all begins when the pair meet at The Vic and head to the bathroom after letting their true feelings emerge.
Sharon and Keanu return to the bar flustered only to be greeter by sarcastic comments from Denise Fox (Diane Parish) which expose their carnal relations to other pubgoers.
Unfortunately, Sharon is soon brought back down to earth by her pal Linda Carter (Kellie Bright).
The landlady reveals she received a counter offer from Suki and Nish Panesar for Mick’s half of the Vic, which Janine Butcher has been keen to sell.
But heartbreak is ahead for Sharon and, following a tense exchange with the Panesars, she hears Keanu receive a voice note from long-term foe Sam Mitchell (Kim Medcalf), hinting at their own romance.
Viewers may remember Keanu also shared a fling with the youngest of the Mitchell siblings while she was living abroad.
Devastated by Keanu’s actions and angry for letting her guard down, Sharon retaliates by banishing him.
