Will the plan work? And will Sharon be swayed by the prospect of pastures new, or will her love for Keanu keep her in Albert Square?
Elsewhere in Walford, it's been confirmed that Karen Taylor will soon be departing the Square, with producers electing to axe Lorraine Stanley's character from the soap. The actor, who joined the show in 2017, discussed her exit from the show, outlining her hope that a return would be kept open.
"It was a mix of emotions. It's sad but it's exciting as now I can go and do what I want," she said of her impending exit. "I hope the door will be left open for Karen - if they kill me [off] then I would never watch EastEnders again."
EastEnders airs on Mondays - Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer.
