BUSINESS opportunities are rife in Walford and Sharon Watts isn’t one to pass up on a chance to expand her empire.
However, next week in EastEnders, she makes a huge decision for the benefit of her fiancé Keanu Taylor.
Sharon Watts stumbles upon a new business opportunity
And she refuses to let it fly by
But she makes a huge decision to help her fiancé Keanu Taylor
With The Boxing Den quietly thriving, Sharon Watts (played by Letitia Dean) was ready to take on a new business venture by buying Mick Carter’s share of The Vic.
But her pal Linda Carter soon turned to her mother Elaine Peacock to secure the deal, leaving a disappointed Sharon in the dust.
Thankfully, things begin to look up again for her when a cash-strapped Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden) intends to sell the Arches.
While the mechanic is hellbent on the deal, his father Phil (Steve McFadden) is less than impressed and soon questions Sharon to find out why she wants with The Arches.
He’s incensed when she admits she’s bought The Arches to set up her fiancé Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) with his own business venture.
Keanu himself is stunned when Sharon reveals she’s bought The Arches for him.
In The Vic, Phil makes his discomfort worse with snide remarks, and Keanu leaves to get some fresh air.
Later on, Keanu admits he’s finding it difficult that Sharon is supporting him as he believes he should be the one taking care of her.
A headstrong Sharon demands he leaves his pride at the door and grabs the Arches opportunity with both hands.
But when Keanu accepts the offer, Sharon begins to worry about his ability to run a business while Phil stirs the pot.
She soon confides in Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth), who advises her to have faith in her fiancé.
Sharon gets an idea to help Keanu and hires Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman) to help him look after the books.
Unfortunately, a proud Keanu is aggravated and the pair continue to squabble over Sharon’s decision.
Reiss and Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy) soon make things go from bad to worse by inviting themselves over.
How will they react?
Can Keanu find his balance in The Arches or was he thrown in too much of a deep end?
EastEnders airs from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
