This article contains spoilers about Monday’s EastEnders, which is already available to stream on BBC iPlayer. 

EastEnders’ Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) was forced to come clean about her liaison with Grant Mitchell (Ross Kemp) to his devastated brother Phil (Steve McFadden) on Monday. 

Last month, Sharon and Grant took a trip back to the 1990s when they hooked up as he supported his ex-wife through her grief for close friend Martin Fowler (James Bye).

At the same time, Sharon’s other ex-husband, and Grant’s brother, Phil was spending time in a mental health facility following a devastating suicide attempt.

Sharon was left concerned about the impact on Phil if he was to ever find out, but her secret has been a ticking timebomb ever since Teddy and Nicola Mitchell (Roland Manookian and Laura Doddington) uncovered the truth.

With Phil having since been discharged, he has returned to Walford with a new lease of life, having also realised his residual feelings for Sharon.

On Monday, words from Nigel Bates (Paul Bradley) and Denise Fox (Diane Parish) finally gave him the courage to open up to Sharon about how he still loves her.

As Sharon reciprocated, the pair had an emotional reunion and kissed, as Phil also shared candid details of his mental health struggle.

However, Phil’s vulnerability led to heartbreak when Sharon sensed she needed to be honest with Phil about Grant if their relationship was to work this time around.

Phil was devastated by the bombshell, but his tears soon turned to anger as he ordered Sharon out of his house, telling her she was not family.

But Sharon was then hit with a further shock when a taxi pulled up on the Square with an unexpected visitor from her past inside…

EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One or stream first from 6am on iPlayer.
