EastEnders is teasing Sharon Mitchell's suspicions being raised over her son's death.
Sharon has been grieving her young son Dennis following his tragic drowning in the boat crash. What she doesn't know is that Denny was trapped in the cloakroom by Ian Beale prior to the boat going off rails.
In first-look photos below from Friday's episode (February 28), Sharon's (Letitia Dean) desperate need for answers over her son's death has her seeking out Dotty Cotton (Milly Zero).
Dotty has her suspicions over Ian's involvement in Denny's death because he swore her to silence over the boy's involvement in organising a hate campaign against his son Bobby (Clay Milner Russell).

It remains to be seen whether Dotty will share her suspicions with grieving mum Sharon – and if she does, will it destroy the friendship that Sharon and Ian have built over the past 35 years?
What to Read Next
Sharon has previously been reeling over Denny's death, even briefly considering taking her own life in Thursday's (February 27) episode before deciding against it.
The grieving mother also had a painfully honest response when Ian reminded her that she had a newborn son that she needed to live for.
"I don't want him! I want Denny," Sharon confessed to Ian in that moment.

However, Ian was eventually put on the back foot again when Sharon tried comforting him by insisting it "wasn't [his] fault" that Denny drowned on the doomed boat. But Ian knows that's not true!
Will Sharon find out the truth as well after her heart-to-heart with Dotty Cotton?
EastEnders airs these scenes at the later time of 8.30pm tonight (Friday) on BBC One.
