Sharon Watts Mitchell Rickman (Letitia Dean)

As they argued over the cancelled wedding, John ranted: "Don't you dare walk away from me. I picked you up, I made you… You were nothing, you were nobody."

While I was watching that scene last night, I kept expecting them to burst into song..."You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar When I met you..... Don't you Want me Baby...." etc.

Her return this time around has been useless and pointless as will her painkiller addiction and marriage to Phil no one cares

Letitia Dean has revealed that she is keen to see Sharon Rickman recover from her recent troubles.

The actress's character is currently on a downward spiral as she is back in the grip of a painkiller addiction after being jilted by Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) at their wedding.

Dean told Inside Soap: "I'd like to see Sharon getting stronger again - she's really struggling at the minute, bless her!

"I'm actually due to go on a break from EastEnders for a little bit. So when I get back, I really hope Sharon will rise like a phoenix from the ashes! She has to, if only for little Dennis's sake."

Sharon will also lose one of her main friends on Albert Square later this year as Jo Joyner has decided to bow out as Tanya Cross for the foreseeable future.

Dean continued: "It's so sad that Jo is going - I love her. When I talked to the bosses about coming back, I mentioned that I wanted Sharon to have a girl friend. Since Michelle Fowler back in the old days, I can't think of a female character she's been close to. So it's been nice to see her have a mate in Tanya.

"I want Shirley to be Sharon's new best friend. I think Linda Henry is absolutely brilliant, so I'd love to see things turn around and for Sharon and Shirley to be mates. But it might be asking too much, considering their respective histories with Phil.

"We've been filming some scenes recently where they do seem to have a bit more respect for each other, though, so you never know how it will go."

EastEnders continues tonight (April 30) at 7.30pm on BBC One.

EastEnders star Letitia Dean has revealed that she wants her character Sharon Rickman to confide in Phil over her painkiller addiction.

Sharon will collapse in tonight's episode of the soap as her problem spirals out of control.

However, Dean thinks that Sharon's partner Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) would understand what she is going through as he has previously battled alcohol and drug addiction.

Speaking to Inside Soap, the actress said: "I really hope the writers pursue that because Phil should understand what Sharon is going through.

"I think it is very important that they have that talk. Phil probably has a lot of things he could say to Sharon about addiction."

Dean also admitted that she had completely forgotten about the part Phil played in Sharon's husband Dennis's death in 2005.

"I'd completely forgotten about Phil's involvement in Dennis's death - that is a nice story nugget for us!

"Everything Sharon is suffering through comes back to the fact that she is consumed with grief for Dennis, who was her soulmate. No-one will ever replace him. After all this time, Sharon is still just trying to find a way to live without him.

"I think her and Phil love each other. They're just two old gimmers getting back together. The public will like seeing them back together, and loves their history. But who knows if this is the right time for them?
