Oh, the angst coming from Walford Web Kindergarten, based on the released spoiler that Phil and Sharon are due to share a passionate kiss next month.
About bloody time, I say! The writing for both these characters, one an original cast-member and the other a stalwart of more than twenty years, has been abysmal lately; but then, that's the current writing room for you.
People are reacting adversely to Sharon and Phil eventually getting together.
Luddites, it was ever going to be thus.
That was the reason Sharon was brought back. For any of you post-2006 tweenie viewers, shallow-end subscribers, Branning-shippers and Phil-haters, this was something that was meant to be. You really didn't think they were bringing back Walford's original Princess, daughter of Den and Ange, to validate that tribe of poor white trash upstarts known as the Brannings, did you?
Sharon friends with Tanya? That must be an Emer Kenny concoction. Sharon wouldn't wipe the sole of her Laboutin on Tanya's fat arse. Someone as shallow and as driven by social mobility and outward appearances as Tanya would never appeal to Sharon. Sharon marrying Jack? Another contrivance I'll have to lay at the storyliners' smelly feet. Sharon doesn't do one night stands, and she certainly was never into sleeping with a man hours after she'd met him.
Add to that the fact that she knows nothing about some of the ugly secrets Tanya and Jackie-poo hide, and you'll see she doesn't fit very well in their dynamic at all. Besides, they are losers.
But someone seems to have grasped the mettle of Sharon and where she ultimately belongs in this caper, and she's getting together with Phil.
This is no yo-yo relationship. It started as an illicit affair, and both have tried to move on from their initial encounter. But they are always drawn to each other. Their brief relationship when she returned in 2001 was dampened by the fact that she thought she couldn't have children and she poo-poohed his suggestion of adoption.
Their later association was impossible due to Steve McFadden's sabbatical, but when he returned, it was Phil and Grant who saved Sharon's bacon and exposed Chrissy Watts, not Saint Dennis and certainly not on his own.
A compilation of clips from late 2005, which show how Grant Mitchell, physically and otherwise, exposed Dennis Rickman for the petulant psychologically stunted adolescent he was, and how Sharon went behind Dennis's back to the Mitchells for the truth about who killed Den. Great stuff:-
Great observations too about Sharon, made by Grant, who - it appears - knew her far better than Dennis ever did. Even then, Sharon was protecting Dennis, like a mother protects a child, as Grant pointedly reminded him and Dennis accepted without a word.
Tell me, who was the strong one in that relationship?
Here's a truth: The Mitchells were created for Sharon; it goes without saying that if a Mitchell brother is still hanging about Walford and Sharon's around, they will couple. For the moment, it's Phil - and for Phil, Sharon is the love of his life, the one who got away. As for Sharon, Phil's certainly rescued her from some sticky wickets (the latest of which will be Jack's STD-ridden one), and Sharon (if the writers would do some research) does love Phil.
That is, until Grant steps into the equation.
Dennis is right. There are unresolved issues between the Mitchell brothers and Sharon; and Grant is still one of two people living, besides Phil, who knows what Phil said to the misguided Dennis before he beat up Jonnie Allen and then, inexplicably, threw him his cellphone and signed his own death warrant.
Sharon will romantically align herself with a Mitchell. This might be Phil; it may be Grant (if, by some fluke of luck, Ross Kemp returns).
What's hilariously funny in all of this is the lengths some commenters will go to avoid Sharon associating with the Mitchells. Even the Walford Web kindergartner, Mute Banana, who's certainly watched the programme long enough to remember Sharongate - Mute Banana thinks Sharon should be paired with Ray Dixon.
That's right. A character who's most certainly on his way to Lorraine Newman's guillotine, and who, even if he does stay, has a reputation of being a commitment-shy misogynist, who uses women for his own sexual pleasure and then discards them when he begins to be bored by their clinginess.
At least Denny would eat properly.
Jack and Ray may be pretty people, but "pretty" doesn't do it for Sharon. Not even Saint Dennis did that.

Sharon always works best with the Mitchell's. I just hope she gets the vic back too. That woman is the love of Phil's life. Not Kate or even Kathy and certainly not Shirley but Sharon.
