Fans have predicted Sharon Mitchell’s baby will be born on a very important day – EastEnders 35th Anniversary.
Viewers of the BBC soap know that Sharon found out she was pregnant in Monday night’s episode (June 10), however, she is unsure whether her husband Phil is the father or Keanu Taylor, who has also got Phil’s daughter Louise pregnant.
Last year, Sharon began having an affair with her husband Phil’s Arches employee Keanu, who was 19 at the time.
Sharon ended the affair with the mechanic a few months later and the same day, Louise and Keanu’s brother Keegan broke up.
Both heartbroken, Louise and Keanu ended up sleeping together in the Arches.
Sharon encouraged Phil to send Keanu on a job to Spain where he was savagely beaten up by six men.
When Keanu returned, Phil paid him to keep an eye on Louise, worried that some men may be after him and the family, but Keanu eventually started to fall for Phil’s daughter.
Louise recently discovered she was pregnant, but also found out her dad was paying Keanu to be with her.
After telling Keanu she had aborted their baby and wanted nothing more to do with him, Keanu was left heartbroken and ended up sleeping with Sharon again.
In Monday’s episode, Phil arranged for Keanu to go away to work at another garage so Louise didn’t have to see him, but after some encouragement from Sharon and Bex, Louise ran to tell Keanu that she was still pregnant.
The pair made up, but across the Square Sharon had just taken a pregnancy test which came out positive. There is, of course, a good chance that the baby is Keanu’s.
After Sharon found out she was expecting, in last night’s episode (Tuesday June 11), she ended up having a breakdown after Louise told her what good grandmother she would be to her and Keanu’s baby.
Sharon poured a glass of wine and went out to the street, but ended up smashing it in a rage and broke down in tears.
On Twitter, viewers have figured out that if Sharon keeps her baby she would be due around the same time as the show’s 35th anniversary, February 19, 2020, leading them to think that will be when the affair is revealed.
That will be on the 35th anniversary next February!!
