The Mitchells are thrown into yet more chaos as EastEnders’ 35th anniversary sees the family consumed by revenge – but amid some violent showdowns and a hostage situation, a newcomer to the clan is on the way as Sharon (Letitia Dean) suddenly goes into labour. Will it be down to Ben (Max Bowden) to help her in her hour of need? Or will he abandon her?
Ben is consumed with trying to rescue Callum Highway (Tony Clay), who has been taken hostage by Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters), who feels he has nothing left to lose and is very dangerous as a result. With Callum’s life on the line, Ben dives into action but could end up making the situation worse.
Meanwhile, as Phil threatens Karen (Lorraine Stanley) to get through to her son, Sharon gets wind of what is happening and announces to Dennis Rickman (Bleu Landau) that they are leaving Walford forever.
But when Ben discovers her plans to flee, he intervenes and loses it with Sharon. Suddenly she doubles over in pain and her waters break – the baby is coming. Will this event draw Keanu out of hiding?
With both Ben and Phil gunning for Keanu, it will end up in a very final showdown on the boat and someone aboard the party will not survive as a catastrophe unfolds.
But as death rocks the party, a new life comes into the world in the shape of Sharon’s new child. But given everything that has happened, it’s inevitable that this is just the beginning of a complicated new chapter for the shattered family.
Can Sharon take control of her situation? It seems like there are going to be some very testing times ahead for the new mum in the wake of a very dramatic week.
