Neither of them could go through with it though and Phil made her his Mrs Mitchell at last.
Had enough of love triangles yet? The bosses didn’t think so and there would be no happy ending.
A few years later Sharon began an affair with Phil’s employee Keanu Taylor which led to divorce for Sharon and Phil.
But Phil’s vendetta against Keanu culminated in a catastrophic confrontation, and Sharon’s beloved son Denny was drowned.
WAKE UP
At the wake, Sharon screamed that she wanted to rip Phil’s heart out but. And I am honestly not making this up – a brief reunion ensued.
However, Sharon eventually left Phil, who later married Kat Slater, and Sharon found romance with another Mitchell man.
By the way, how the writers thought that viewers would buy into a Sharon and Teddy love match – I don’t know!
But now the toxic couple are both single again. Cue a love triangle anyone?
During this year’s 40th anniversary special, a depressed and tortured Phil planned to take his own life, but was luckily saved.
And he took it upon himself to reveal his true feelings of undying love to Sharon – not a wise move.
Sharon explained she loved him too – but of course she would – she had just been dumped by Teddy and Phil was convenient.
She’s latching onto Phil until something better comes along. History proves it – right?
BROTHERLY LOVE
However, Phil was floored when she confessed that she had slept with his brother Grant again while he was unwell in hospital.
And a visibly upset Phil shouted at her to get out – and you know what – I agree with him. Haven’t they done enough to each other?
Come on writers give us a happy ending for both of them and not more of the same old storyline over and over again.
After the doom and gloom of the last few months viewers deserve it.
But no doubt Sharon will get her claws back into Phil I just hope it doesn’t push his recovery back.
Because, after his emotional and heart breaking mental health story – it wouldn’t take much to break him.
For if there is anything more certain in soap land – Sharon won’t stick around with Phil.
