Zoe Slater has finally made her epic return to Albert Square, but there’s one EastEnders<\/a> character fans are still waiting to come back – Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean<\/a>). However, after tonight’s episode, fans think her return may be sooner than we think – but they fear the worst.<\/p>\n

EastEnders fans watched on in awe tonight, as Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan<\/a>) finally made her proper return to the Square, and was reunited with her grandmother, Mo Harris, while meeting her brothers Bert and Ernie for the first time.<\/p>\n

However, it wasn’t all happy families as she had an explosive argument with her mother, Kat, resulting in them storming out of the Vic.<\/p>\n

Outside however, there was more drama going on when Jack Branning learnt that Ravi Gulati had snuck into his house to steal back the gun – which went missing. The two ended up in a psychical fight on the street, and looked mortified when the gun shot went off.<\/p>\n

We know someone has been shot – but the question on everyone’s mind is who? Theories have been floating around X, formerly known as Twitter<\/a> with many believing it was Sharon Watts.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, fans were overjoyed when Sharon appeared in Zoe’s return trailer after being absent since Martin’s funeral.<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, fans suspect it meant she was ‘part of Zoe’s return’ and fear this is how she’s going to make her tragic return to the Square.<\/p>\n

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan penned: “Imagine if the person who got shot is Sharon in a surprise twist. Remember we saw her in Zoe’s Promo video – why would she appear unless something significant happens? and imagine if Zoe was the one to save Sharon’s life after all the Dirty Den stuff.”<\/p>\n

“They would never kill off Sharon but this could be a way for Zoe and Sharon to further build a truce after all the Den stuff.”<\/p>\n

Another penned: “It would be a great way for Sharon to come back to be fair, be much better then the last time she returned with Keanu being undiscovered and would cement this week being legendary.”<\/p>\n

“How come Sharon is standing next to Patrick on Zoe\u2019s arrival?” questioned another.<\/p>\n

However, others believe either Kat, Zoe or Mo who got shot after the huge bust up between Kat and Zoe. Many believe Kat is the one who got shot – meaning Zoe will stick around.<\/p>\n

“So you\u2019re telling me we\u2019re not gonna know who was shot\u2026 UNTIL THURSDAY?! I\u2019ve got to admit I think it\u2019s Kat and that\u2019s gonna be the reason Zoe sticks around,” penned one, while another said: “It was defo Kat who got shot, Zoe getting shot doesn\u2019t make any sense.”<\/p>\n

EastEnders aren’t giving anything away, so fans will have to wait until later this week to see who got shot, and if they survive…<\/p>\n
