BREAKING NEWS: Eagle-eyed EastEnders fans spot super secret clue confirming major legend’s return
EastEnders fans have been desperate to know when Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) is set to return following her sudden departure in January, and it may be sooner than we think, as some fans have worked out.
Sharon secretly headed off to Australia to spend time with best friend Michelle Fowler following the murder of Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) on Christmas Day 2023.
The rest of The Six were horrified by her sudden departure, as they realised that they would have to deal with the aftermath of the murder without her help.
Poor Sharon had been having a rough time even before Keanu’s death. She had dealt with the faked kidnapping of son Albie before discovering that he wasn’t Keanu’s son, as she had previously believed.
With all of this plus a murder to deal with, it’s no wonder she wanted some time away.
However, fans are desperate for the icon to return, and one eagle-eyed viewer found a pretty important clue which has given us an idea of when she may be due back.

Taking to Twitter/X, user @KellieBrightLY posted a picture of Sharon’s passport from a previous episode, and pointed out that it expires in October 2024.
While that seems like a long time away, another fan pointed out that she would need six months left on it in order to travel, meaning that she would have to return to the UK by April.
In a recent video, co-star Diane Parish, who plays Denise Fox, confirmed that The Six would be reunited soon, which suggests that we don’t have too much longer to wait to see Sharon back on our screens.
However, it is possible that Sharon could have renewed her passport since the episode the screenshot is from, given that it still shows her married name ‘Sharon Mitchell’.
Sadly you can renew abroad at British embassy

On top of that, another fan pointed out that she would be able to renew her passport at the British Embassy in Australia.
Despite these things, we are hopeful that we won’t have long to wait before Sharon is back on the Square, and we’re sure she will bring plenty of drama with her.
