EastEnders star Letitia Dean has confirmed that her character Sharon Rickman will have to choose between love rivals Phil Mitchell and Jack Branning when they both propose to her in early 2013.

As reported earlier this week, Phil (Steve McFadden) makes the shock decision to pop the question to Sharon on New Year's Day after vowing to steal her away from Jack.

However, in another twist to the tale, Jack (Scott Maslen) will also ask Sharon to marry him - leaving her wondering which man, if any, she wants to tie the knot with.

Speaking of Phil's proposal, Dean told Radio Times: "It's a duff-duff moment - she is absolutely stunned and completely speechless. I can't say whether she says yes or not. You'll have to wait and see. Will she say yes to either of them?"

The actress continued: "Sharon has always had a great fondness for Phil and he has always been there for her. She is very comfortable around him and they have a lot of history between them. She has never wondered about whether she loves him as marrying him is not something that has ever crossed her mind until now.

"Jack she's liked from the moment she met him. He is a lovely man and a great dad to Amy. He is kind, generous and very loving. They get on extremely well and have a lot of fun together. Their relationship is still really new and fresh."

Sharon embarked on a relationship with Jack shortly after her return to Walford in the summer, but their relationship has become slightly strained in recent weeks due to Sharon's short-lived fake engagement with Phil.

EastEnders airs the double proposal episode on Tuesday, January 1 at 8pm on BBC One.

smacks of desperation on the part of the scriptwriters to me, anything to involve Sharon to justify her character being back

So Max's secret is out and Jack proposing to Sharon kinda rules them out as Kat's lover I think so has to be Derek

EastEnders fans can expect an angry reaction from Lucy Beale when she discovers Joey and Lauren Branning's surprise romance.

Viewers have recently seen Joey call time on his relationship with Lauren due to his father Derek's blackmail. However, when Derek meets his maker at Christmas, it paves the way for the Branning cousins to reunite.

Just as the pair get back together, though, there is a further complication as Lucy (Hetti Bywater) witnesses them passionately kissing.

Well aware of how strongly Lucy feels about Joey following their on-off romance, Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) tries to explain herself to her friend. However, she ends up making everything worse by telling Lucy all about the car crash and how Joey took the blame.

Shocked by this deception, a no-nonsense Lucy heads straight to the police station and seems ready to turn Lauren in. Can she really go through with it? Will Lauren confess of her own accord? Or will Joey stop the truth from coming out just in time when he turns up?


EastEnders airs these scenes on Friday, January 4 at 8pm and 9pm on BBC One.

EastEnders fans can expect more twists and turns for Max Branning and his wife Kirsty later this week as they share a passionate kiss.

Max (Jake Wood) remains in a tricky situation in upcoming episodes, as it's clear that Kirsty still has strong feelings for him and isn't prepared to let him go.

Desperate to talk to her husband, Kirsty (Kierston Wareing) spots Max in the Square and they take a moment to speak privately. However, the conversation doesn't go well for Kirsty when Max declares that he wants her to leave Walford - and him - forever.

A livid Kirsty lets Max know exactly what she thinks of the way he's treated her, but the businessman stands firm by offering her the money for her train fare.

Soon afterwards, however, anger turns to passion for the pair and they end up in a surprise clinch…

EastEnders airs a double bill of episodes centring around Derek Branning's funeral this evening (January 4).

As the low-key service gets under way, it's up to Cora Cross (Ann Mitchell) to give a speech about Derek's life in the absence of Carol, who is running late after finally discovering the letter from David Wicks that was hidden from her.

Cora offers some very honest words about Derek's nasty side and what everyone thought of him, but she also manages to put a positive spin on some of his antics.

With emotions running high on the day, it remains to be seen whether the gathering can bring the Brannings together or if it will only tear them further apart…
