I suppose. I never understood why Louise Berridge thought of putting them together in the first place though. Doubt if Shannis would have ever existed had John Yorke stayed with EastEnders.Quote:

However, Sharon was adopted when she was about four years old not straight away when she born so I doubt she's even got Den as her father on her birth certificate so it won't matter. The only problem they may have is with adoption papers, those are the ones that probably won't matter now she's over 18. But like I said if she is legally down as Den's daughter then it is against the law regardless of her age. I'm sure they'll find a way round that though!
Hi, they are not related, neither are they legally brother and sister. They are related to Den but not each other. This is how it all differentiates. :) Marriage would not be a problem at all because they were raised in different households by different people up until the age of 18.Quote:

Chrissie, Den and Zoe –it was all one sided and knew deep down that their partners did not feel the same way so what they did was more selfish and arguably desperate too.
Yes, it is selfish and desperate but mutual or not love is love and you will do anything for someone you love. They've all proved that whether they were fighting for somethng real or not. I'm not saying the way they behaved is therefore acceptable but they were fighting for something they thought was real. I don't think you can fault someone for loving someone too much however many problems it may have caused.
Either way I stand by my original point. If they had all been a little less selfish there would of been a lot less problems.
And if Sharon's dad on her birth certificate is Den they cannot get married unless that is changed.
Well I for one would be happy if Chrissie killed Kat - cant stand the character, what's she going to do now she is back, who cares that's she's back.
Dennis did use Zoe to make Sharon jealous at first. I do think Dennis cared for Zoe but while all this was going on he knew he loved Sharon - therefore that's why he was selfish.
Exactly Alisha! thanks for agreeing with me and littlemo. den was obsessed with sharon and that wasnt her fault, she cant control him, well couldnt. i agree everybody had some sort of role in dens death, they are all to blame in some ways but at the end of the day den brought this all on himself, it was his own fault for being obsessed, manipulative and controlling and having an affair with a 21year old!Quote:

I think they can still get married but in theory they are related. Not blood related and the adoption makes all the difference but they should be living as brother and sister in the situation.
This is what they tried to be brother and sister but it did not work. Their feelings were too strong. Eventually in April they split up because Dennis wanted to do the right thing. He wanted a relationship with Den -however Den kept fobbing him off and never gave him the father son relationship that he promised.Quote:

Zoe was offering to fill that void for him, knowing full well that he just split from his ex.. He fobbed of Zoe loads but she kept coming back for more even when Dennis told her that he wasn’t a commitment man and that she would see him with other women, she took it upon herself to take that risk. She didn't complain back then and now she's had to learn the hard way.
