As she insisted that there was nothing to hide, she soon crumbled and told her ex-husband, and her son Albie’s dad, Phil, that it was Linda who brutally murdered Keanu..
She spoke at length about the events of Christmas Day and told Phil every single thing that happened from Denise Fox’s (Diane Parish) attack on Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry). to Jack Branning’s (Scott Malsen) police cover-up to burying the body under the cafe.

Amid the shock revelations, Sharon and Phil appeared to be growing close as they reminisced over their chaotic and hectic lives with one another. They speculated how different their lives could have been with one another had they not had such a complicated love life.
They then shared a loving glance before they jumped into a smooch with one another, leaving fans watching at home gobsmacked as Sharon branded her and Phil “soulmates”.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan penned: “Are you telling me that they killed Keanu off and retconned the fact Albie was HIS SON who looks EXACTLY like him, just to reunite Phil & Sharon, the most TOXIC couple in the soaps history?! Nah, p**S off mate. #EastEnders.”
Another added: “They have to kill off or destroy every man Sharon truly loves or has actual chemistry with so Phil is left as the only option for her. Truly diabolical. The number of comments on here from people opposing a Sharon and Phil reunion – EE take note – no one wants it #eastenders.”

A third person said: “SHARON AND PHIL BACK TOGETHER YUPPPPP.” A fourth social media user said: “Phil & Sharon and Ian & Cindy should just commit to open relationships at this point. They’ve been cheating on each other for decades. #EastEnders.”
After pulling away, Phil then gripped a hold of her arm as he pulled her in for another kiss. They then passionately embraced each other once again as Sharon appeared happy that the spark had been reignited. Will Sharon and Phil get back together or is she just trying to keep her ex quiet?
