EastEnders has left Sharon Watts in a dangerous situation in the show’s latest episode.

This week, Sharon was reunited with her former stepmother Chrissie in prison, but they surprisingly

found common ground through their past experiences.

However, Chrissie was putting on an act, as she then approached another inmate named Angel and asked her to teach the new girl a lesson.

In today’s episode, Sharon was approached by a group of prisoners including Angel. They threw her breakfast on the floor, and were threatening towards her.

Chrissie defended Sharon, then secretly told Angel not to carry out her plan in the communal area. She later advised Sharon to get a job in the laundry area, where it’s quiet.

Later, Sharon did laundry with her cellmate Doreen, who urged her not to get too friendly with Chrissie.

But the inmates from that morning were lurking around and when Doreen left Sharon alone, they used the opportunity to carry out their plan.

The women cornered Sharon and Angel brought out a knife, with Sharon pleading that she didn’t want any trouble.

Angel called Sharon ‘princess’ – the infamous nickname Den Watts gave her – which made Sharon suspicious. They were then interrupted by a guard, who told Sharon that her lawyer had arrived to see her.

Chrissie warned the other inmates to act soon, but Angel decided she had had enough, telling her that if Chrissie wanted something doing to Sharon, she’d have to do it herself.

Sharon told Doreen about what had happened, and it was then that she realised that she didn’t have Chrissie’s protection after all.

She confronted Chrissie and told her that she took back her forgiveness about what happened to Den all those years ago.

Chrissie then told one of the guards that Doreen had smuggled some drugs into prison and was hiding them under her mattress, and later, a cell inspection was called.

Out in the communal area, one of Chrissie’s allies started a fight with Doreen, and a riot broke out amongst a big group of inmates.

Within this chaos, Chrissie pulled a knife out and dragged Sharon back to her cell undisturbed, as the guards were distracted.

With the door closed, Chrissie told Sharon that she was the reason that she ended up in prison, and she wanted to make her pay for her earlier confrontation.

As Chrissie aimed a knife at Sharon, will she carry out her deadly revenge?
