EastEnders: Chrissie’s back!

After Sharon was sent to prison for disrupting court proceedings during Dean’s murder trial, she met her new cellmate Doreen. She was eager to get to know Sharon after she revealed her last name to be Watts.

This led to Chrissie realising Sharon is in the same prison as her. The duo soon came face-to-face, marking the first time they’ve seen each other in over 15 years. Plenty of history was brought up, most notably Den’s murder.

Despite Chrissie initially saying she would help Sharon in prison, it soon become clear she had other intentions. Chrissie is out for revenge, but Sharon is keen to forgive and forget.

EastEnders fans want a Sharon and Chrissie spin-off show

There’s been plenty of calls for a Sharon and Chrissie spin-off show, with EastEnders fans eager to know more about the pair’s prison stint.

“Sharon x Chrissie spin-off is needed EastEnders – I need to know Dor’s backstory, I need to know who does Chrissie’s glam in her cell everyday. I need MORE!,” one fan wrote on social media, while a second agreed, adding: “Can we keep Sharon and Chrissie in prison and give them their own spin-off series? It’s like Bad Girls all over again.”

“I can’t cope with one episode of EastEnders a day, I need a feature length director’s cut of Sharon and Chrissie’s time in prison,” another wrote. A final fan penned: “Ok we need ‘Chrissie & Sharon’ – ‘the prison stay’ extended into a full on spin-off show before they both return to EastEnders – however many eps of this they’ve shot it will never be enough.”
