EastEnders has teased an unexpected new romance for Sharon Watts next month, in new advanced
spoilers.
Sharon hasn’t had much time for love recently, since she left Keanu Taylor at the altar on Christmas Day
– and he was killed by Linda Carter hours later in an attempt to save Sharon’s life.
Since then, Sharon and The Six have attempted to keep Keanu’s murder covered up, but this week she confessed everything to ex-husband Phil.

After Phil eventually promised not to tell anyone and they declared themselves soulmates during a chat about their history, the pair shared an unexpected kiss, leading to speculation that they might reunite.
But in Wednesday’s episode (June 19), Sharon shut down the possibility, and told Phil that while she wanted him in Albie’s life, they could only be friends.
Now, official teaser spoilers released by the BBC for the first week of July have revealed that there is trouble in paradise for the pair, with “Sharon infuriated by thoughtless Phil” in scenes that will air on Thursday, July 4.

As well as this, the show has teased a brand-new romance for Sharon, as she “enjoys a flirty drink with a Walford newcomer”.
It remains to be seen who this mysterious person is, but with three new Mitchells arriving in Albert Square next week, could Phil have another love rival from his own family, or is Sharon’s new romance with someone else entirely?
Elsewhere in Walford, the boxing tournament approaches, while Yolande gives Denzel advice and Zack helps out another of the Square’s teens.
