But is there another reason why she's back?
29 MARCH - 4 APRIL
At No.43, Sharon is warmed by a Mother’s Day gesture from Zack and Albie, but her happiness is short lived when Nigel arrives and reveals Phil is missing.
At No.55, Denise, Sharon and Nigel call the police, but the situation is quickly diffused when Phil returns and offers a simple explanation. Realising the mix up is down to Nigel’s dementia, Phil covers but Sharon is unconvinced, and enlists the help of Kathy and Denise to buoy Phil.
Touched by her reaction, and encouraged by Denise and Nigel, Phil finally reveals his feelings for Sharon once alone at No.55.
Soon, a black cab arrives... Vicki Fowler is back and Sharon’s attention soon turns to her new partner Ross and his son Joel.
Back at No.43, Vicki explains she has returned for Martin’s funeral before revealing that she and Spencer separated.
Having learnt from Zack of Vicki's return, Alfie and Kat head to No.43 and are shocked when Spencer is nowhere to be seen. When Kat questions Vicki on her versions of events, it’s not long before the true reason behind the breakup is revealed.
In the café, Ross urges Vicki to ask Sharon for money, but after a chat with Kathy about Sharon’s recent heartaches, Vicki rethinks and turns her interest to Ian.
At Beale's Eels, Vicki lies about her debt and asks Ian for a loan. But will he offer one? And later at the Boxing Den, after being informed by Ian, Sharon accosts who quickly dismisses her concerns.
Elsewhere, Ross attempts to introduce himself to Vicki’s wider family.
On the day before Martin's funeral, tensions rise at No.43, between Sharon and Vicki and later at No. 25, Linda gives Sharon some food for thought.
