A Holiday to Remember (EE- SHANNIS)

[eastenders rox]

I dunno how this script is gonna turn out, but I’ll have a go….

It’s set some time in the future and is centred around Shannis, on holiday, in Spain. Of course, this happens to be a rather eventful holiday, not at all relaxing and knowing Sharon and Dennis’ past luck, will it end in tears?

It’s a 7 parter….. so here we go

Episode 1:

Dennis was still fast asleep. Sharon lay in his arms wide awake thinking about his claim that he ‘doesn’t get knackered’, and quietly smiled to herself. She shook that memory off. The night he had said that was the night before Andy and Sam’s wedding- the day which had followed saw her making a fool of herself, and more importantly, Dennis had been with Zoe.

Dennis: Mornin’ gorgeous.

Sharon looked up at Dennis, startled.

Sharon: Oh, hi. How long you been awake, then?

Dennis: Not long. You sleep ok?

Sharon: Yeah, fine.

She got out of bed and started rummaging around in an open suitcase, nervously. Dennis looked at her, curiously, for a moment before asking-

Dennis: What ya’ doing?

Sharon: Just looking for my clothes. Hardly crime of the century, is it?

Dennis: Well…… I was hoping we could have a lie in. You know, breakfast in bed.

Sharon carried on anxiously rummaging around in the suitcase, and then turned to face him.

Sharon: Look, I’ve got stuff to do, I-

Dennis: -What stuff?! Next you’ll be saying you have to ‘run down the club’!

Sharon: But we’re in Spain?

Dennis: I know! But that’s what you always say when you’re avoidin’ me!

Sharon: We don’t own the club, and besides, I’m not avoiding you…

Dennis: What, then?

Sharon: … I’ve just upset myself, thinking about…….. you and Zoe.

Dennis' face falls.



So, what do you think? Let me know, plz!


Episode 2: Sharon and Dennis are on holiday together and they see a familiar face.

great start! more soon please

[eastenders rox]

Thanx hayzie, for my first reply!

Here’s the next part……………

Episode 2:

Sharon was lying on a sun lounger and Dennis was in the pool.

Dennis: You gettin’ in some time, today?

Sharon: I will in a bit…..

Dennis: That’s the 7th time you’ve said that this mornin’!

Sharon: Well, I want to get a good tan, don’t I?

Dennis: Typical.

Dennis gets out of the pool and sits down on the edge of her sun lounger.

Sharon: Oi, you! Don’t get me wet!

He splashes her with water and she sits up, in shock.

Sharon: Dennis, it’s not funny!

Dennis: (Laughing) yes it is!

They kiss, then he looks at her more seriously.

Dennis: Look, Sharon about Zoe. Forget about her. It’s like what I said this morning- it’s all in the past, so don’t let it ruin our holiday. Ok?

Sharon nods.

Dennis: Come on. Let’s get dressed and go to the bar.

They get up to leave.

At the bar

Dennis: Well, this certainly makes a change from east London. I reckon a few days in the sun is just what we need- just me and you.

Sharon: Yeah- yeah, you’re right. Look, I’m sorry for acting so depressed this morning. I’ll make it up to you, later.

Dennis: (Cheekily) really? And how do you suppose to do that?

They smile and they snog but are interrupted by a woman’s voice from behind-

? : Dennis?


They turned round, stunned, to see Zoe…………………………………………

Episode 3: Zoe tries to get Dennis’ attention then he tells her something important.

Episode 3:


Dennis: Zoe, what are you doing here?

Zoe: Me? I’ve been touring a bit. I mean, it gets a bit borin’ stuck on some small island, like Ibiza. So I flew into the nearest place I could, Alicante in Spain.

Sharon: Yeah, but the same hotel as us……

Zoe: Strange coincidence, I know.

Dennis and Sharon looked at each other and eye Zoe up, suspiciously.

Dennis: So, how long you staying here for?

Zoe: 2 more days. I came last week.

Sharon: Excuse me.

Sharon pushed past Zoe to leave and Dennis stared on after her.

Zoe: Now she’s runnin’ away from you, now (laughing). So, how are things with you and her?

Dennis: Couldn’t be better. You here on your own?

Zoe: Careful, Dennis. Or someone might think you’re chatting me up.

Dennis: Don’t want people thinking that do we? Well, I better go and find Sharon.

Zoe: Wait, Dennis. How ‘bout the two of us meet up for a drink later? Catch up.

Dennis: I dunno, Zoe……….

Zoe: It’s just a drink.

Dennis: I’m here with Sharon.


* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Back in the room.

Dennis: Are you sure you’re not in the mood for a quiet drink. Just me and you?

Sharon: I’m sure, Dennis. Besides, it won’t just be me and you, will it?

Dennis: Do you want me to stay?

Sharon: No, you’re alright.

Dennis: Sure?

Sharon: I’m sure. (Smiling)

Dennis: I won’t be long.

Sharon: Fine.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

At the bar

Zoe: Hi Dennis.

Dennis: Oh, hi Zoe. (He stares down at his glass)

Zoe: Do you wanna talk about it?

Dennis: What? (Looks up)

Zoe: What’s wrong?

Dennis: Nothing.

Dennis stares at Zoe, standing there, trying to look seductive. She leans in closer.

Zoe: Come on Dennis, you can talk to me.

He turns to face her.

Zoe: But if you don’t wanna talk……………….. (She smiles)

Dennis: Zoe, I-

Zoe leans in and tries to kiss Dennis. He pulls away and stands back, aggravated.

Dennis: -Zoe, I’m married!

Zoe: What?

Episode 4: Zoe questions Dennis’ commitment, then goes to find Sharon.

[hayzie]

ergh how dare zoe turn up and ruin everything! more soon please tis fabby! what does she think she is doing like he will ever be interested in her again! ok sorry but it is great more now!

[Nigellover]

omg!clear off Zoe!!the cheek of her!!lol more soon plz this is great!

[eastenders rox]

Thanx 4 my replies!

Episode 4:

Zoe looked stunned-

Zoe: No…no…. not you, Dennis. I know you remember, you’d never commit to marriage- not wiv me, not wiv anyone…

Dennis: -Zoe, it’s different with Sharon. We’ve got something special. Really special.

Zoe: Well, we had summin’ special, too.

Dennis: Zoe, don’t. You’ve obviously had a little too much to drink, because you shouldn’t care. So what if I am? So what if I am married to the love of my life?

Zoe: She ain’t the love of your life, and no, I ain’t bin’ drinkin’!

Dennis: Zoe, this is ridiculous, you accepted us!

Zoe: Yeah, well I tried. I pretended, even. I thought that that If I was off to Ibiza, then just maybe…. maybe I could forget all about you. But then….. Seeing you here today.
I can’t stand it Dennis, I need to be with you.

Zoe reached out and laid her hand on his shoulder. Dennis just looked at her with compassion and removed her hand with his own.

Dennis: I better get off now…………

He turned round and made his way out of the bar. But instead of going straight back to Sharon, he wandered onto the dark sand of the beach and looked out into the night.

He could hear Zoe breaking down in tears, as he walked away. She realised what a mistake she’d made, by just blurting her feelings out. She made up her mind- she was off to see Sharon.


* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
In the hotel room

Sharon: Dennis, is that you?

Sharon had forgotten to lock the door from the inside. Zoe slowly emerged from round the door frame and Sharon noted her tear stained face.

Sharon: Zoe, I-

Zoe: Save it, Sharon. We need to have a little chat…

Episode 5: Zoe and Sharon argue until Sharon makes an announcement as Dennis walks in.
