I hope Ben isn't her attacker

[Perdita]

EastEnders Sharon Rickman will plot revenge on her fiancé Phil Mitchell after discovering he was responsible for her attack.

Viewers know that Phil (Steve McFadden) was responsible for Sharon's serious injuries last month after a plan to scare her at The Albert went drastically wrong.

As Sharon (Letitia Dean) continues to struggle in the aftermath of her attack, she will be left horrified when she discovers that Phil was behind it, the Daily Star reports.

Armed with the information, Sharon starts secretly plotting Phil's downfall in the lead up to their wedding day, while he remains completely unaware of her discovery.

Fans will have to wait and see whether Sharon and Phil actually make it down the aisle, or if Sharon will come clean about her revenge plan beforehand.

EastEnders airs tonight (July 10) at 7.30pm on BBC One.

talk on twitter that den is her real birth father

EastEnders fans will see Sharon Mitchell get a big surprise as she continues the search for her biological father later this month.

As Sharon (Letitia Dean) persists in her quest for answers, she decides to pay a visit to Margaret Midhurst, the solicitor who handled her adoption.

Margaret is played by actress Jan Harvey, who is best known for her previous roles in Howards' Way and Family Affairs.

Sharon is accompanied by her friend Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) as she meets up with Margaret, who surprises both of them by revealing that Den specifically asked to adopt Sharon all those years ago.

Linda immediately starts to speculate that perhaps Den was Sharon's biological father as the result of an affair.

Clued-up Margaret promises that this wasn't the case, but when she later pays a visit to Sharon back on the Square, Sharon is led to believe that her father could have been closer to home than she ever imagined...

I think her father is Eric Mitchell.

I think her father is Eric Mitchell.

What an idea!- never thought of him.!
If it had been Den- a bit obvious but
would have meant Denny was victim
of inbreeding- tho not intentionally.

*Sharon will be half sister to Grant &Phil
(unless they have a different father and
we dont know about it)

Shes had relationships with both?
Her marriage to Phil would have to
be annulled. That will cheer Mona
lisa up.
Peggys stepdaughter!!!!

A lot more fall out - not even thought of
yet
I think the Square really will be
rocked!! If that the storyline they go for!!

*P.s.Peggy did have affair with Archie a long
time ago.
Did think of Peter Beale Sr - but not likely??
Sharon & Ian would be sis & bro then!!
Kathy is coming back later this year!!

Dupl

Everyone is so intertwined with everyone else on the Square that whoever the father is (assuming it's a name we know) it will have far reaching consequences. It's bound to be an explosive storyline that will rock the Square. And personally I don't think the lives of the inhabitants will ever be the same again.

I like your idea of Sharon's father being Pete Beale, MM. There would be lots of dramatic fallout with Ian and Kathy. Den was Pete's best friend if I remember correctly, so it'd make sense for him to take an interest in the baby.

I can't see her birth father being Den himself because he would have told her when she and Dennis began their relationship, surely?

I think Monalisa's going to have to remain disappointed because from everything I've read DTC wants to keep Sharon as the Mitchell matriarch (which works very well), so I can't see her and Phil being given reason to split up.
