Sharon Watts forced to break news of a major đť••eath as a funeral is confirmed in EastEnders
Sharon has to break the news of Keanu’s 𝕕eath
Sharon Watts’ (Letitia Dean) life was turned upside down on Christmas Day when best friend Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) stabbed Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) to death in EastEnders.
After learning that Albie wasn’t his son, Keanu tried to strangle Sharon when she refused to let him see him. Horrified, Linda ended up stabbing Keanu in a bid to save Sharon.
After helping Linda and the rest of The Six hide Keanu’s body, Sharon fled to Australia with son Albie, where she spent several weeks staying with best friend Michelle Fowler.
Having now returned to Albert Square, Sharon has had to come to terms with life without Keanu, all while keeping the secret of the true circumstances surrounding his death.
Sharon has to break the news of Keanu’s death
In upcoming scenes, Sharon learns from Bernie Taylor (Clair Norris) that Keanu’s funeral will be held soon, and she realises that she must break the news to son Albie.
With Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe) having agreed to host the wake in the Queen Vic, Linda struggles to cope as she prepares for the event, but still offers to help Sharon speak to Albie.
However, Sharon declines the offer, and insists that she can do it alone – though it won’t be an easy task.
After a few wise words from Martin Fowler (James Bye), Sharon works up the courage to explain everything to her son.
Following the difficult conversation, Sharon is touched by a sweet gesture from Ollie Carter, and decides to attend Keanu’s funeral for Albie’s sake.
As Sharon attempts to attend the funeral, Linda and Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) organise a private memorial for her at The Arches. Will Sharon get the closure she needs?
