EastEnders' Sharon Watts to make dramatic return next week - and it's bad news for Zoe

Next week's EastEnders spoilers reveal that Sharon Watts will be back in Walford - but a lot has changed since her departure.

Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) was last seen on the Square in April, before leaving after the death of Martin Fowler became too much for her after the funeral. Fans had been wondering when she'd be making an appearance again, and last month she made an appearance on Zoe Slater's dramatic return trailer.

Fans were ecstatic when they saw her, although they were left confused when she still hadn't returned after Zoe's first week on the Square. Now, spoilers have revealed exactly when she'll be back next week, and of course, drama will follow.

Sharon will be returning to the Square on Monday 22nd September, but she's set to be left in shock when spot Zoe outside of No.31.

Elsewhere, she has an awkward run in with her ex Phil Mitchell at the café, but offers an olive branch and asks Phil to look after Albie that evening, which he accepts. More chaos erupts later on however, as Sharon's attention soon turns to Vicki’s debt.

Vicki then storms out where she bumps into Zoe and the pair fight in the Square. Zack and Anthony try to break up the fight, with Zack getting hit in the process. Sharon later goes to confront Zoe in the Vic again - and Zoe later drops a bombshell admission, but what could it be?

Whatever it is, Sharon refuses to believe Zoe, and loses her temper, and later on, herself and Vicki get kicked out of the Vic by Kat. Sharon then heads for a heart to heart with Kathy, where Ian tries to convince Sharon that Zoe is lying.

But whatever the bombshell is, is it true and what will happen next?

EastEnders aren't giving anything away but with Zoe's 20 year secret past, who knows what it could be. When she arrived back to Walford, viewers were left in shock when it was revealed she had given birth to twins.

It appeared that the girl had sadly died in hospital, with Zoe walking out on her baby boy. However, viewers are still unsure on who the dad is, as Zoe has been trying to get in contact with her long lost son.

However, that wasn't the biggest Zoe bombshell. In fact, fans were left in utter shock a couple of weeks ago when it was revealed she had a relationship with Max Branning when he made his shock return.

Max has not yet returned to the Square, but it was revealed he would be making a permanent return later on in the year, so he may not be far away...

EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
