EastEnders<\/a> fans may not have seen Sharon Watts<\/a> (Letitia Dean<\/a>) for a good few months now, but she comes to The Six\u2019s rescue this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n In forthcoming scenes on the BBC soap, Sharon\u2019s half-sister Vicki Fowler<\/a> (Alice Haig<\/a>) comes dangerously close to landing the murderous Walford women in prison when she considers telling the police about Bernie Taylor<\/a>\u2019s (Clair Norris<\/a>) recent shenanigans.\u00a0<\/p>\n Before she departed Albert Square<\/a> earlier this month, Bernie had been stealing money<\/a> out of the Panesars\u2019 businesses as revenge for The Six killing her brother Keanu Taylor<\/a> (Danny Walters<\/a>).\u00a0<\/p>\n When Vicki was roped in to audit the Panesars\u2019 accounts, she uncovered Bernie\u2019s fraudulent activities and blackmailed her<\/a>, wanting a cut of some of the cash to repay a loan to Sharon.\u00a0<\/p>\n However, Bernie eventually turned the tables on her, and told the Panesars it was Vicki who had been stealing from them.\u00a0<\/p>\n While Bernie\u2019s lies were eventually exposed to Suki Panesar<\/a> (Balvinder Sopal<\/a>), she let Bernie off the hook and escape to Spain with the cash after pleas from Keanu\u2019s killer Linda Carter<\/a> (Kellie Bright<\/a>) and fellow members of The Six Denise Fox<\/a> (Diane Parish<\/a>) and Kathy Beale<\/a> (Gillian Taylforth<\/a>) to set Bernie free.\u00a0<\/p>\n Still in the dark about the real reasons Bernie set her up, this week Vicki is still smarting, while still scrambling to raise the cash to pay Sharon back.\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\t \t\t When Kathy gets wind of Vicki\u2019s plan to go to the police about Bernie, she makes a panicked call to Sharon, who is still in Australia, asking her to intervene.\u00a0<\/p>\n She suggests Sharon should walk back her threat to chuck Vicki out of No. 43 if she doesn\u2019t repay her debts in the hope it will stop Vicki from feeling the pressure, and thus the need to go to the police about Bernie\u2026<\/p>\n Sharon was last seen on the day of Martin Fowler<\/a>\u2019s (James Bye<\/a>) funeral back in April.\u00a0<\/p>\n Just shortly after Vicki\u2019s arrival in Walford<\/a>, Sharon set off to Australia<\/a> to look after Vicki\u2019s mum and her longtime best friend Michelle Fowler (Susan Tully), who was struggling to come to terms with the loss of her brother Martin.\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\t\t\tFollow Metro Soaps on WhatsApp and get all the latest spoilers first!\t\t\t<\/p>\n Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?
