This week on EastEnders, viewers are in for a jaw-dropping twist as Chrissie Watts drops a bombshell that will change everything. Currently serving a week in prison, Sharon Watts finds herself unexpectedly reunited with her former stepmother, Chrissie. Chrissie, who has been incarcerated since 2005 for the murder of Sharon’s father, initially appears to be having a heartfelt reunion with Sharon. However, beneath the surface, Chrissie has an ulterior motive.

In a dramatic turn of events, Chrissie orchestrates a prison riot, using the chaos to confront Sharon and settle old scores. During this intense confrontation, Chrissie reveals a startling and emotional detail about her past relationship with Jake Moon, leaving Sharon reeling and adding a new layer of complexity to their shared history.

For context, Jake Moon was introduced to Walford in late 2004 alongside his brother Danny, after witnessing a murder and becoming involved with the notorious Johnny Allen. Jake briefly dated Chrissie, and the couple even made plans to escape their troubled circumstances. However, their plans were thwarted when Chrissie was arrested after her confession to a murder was captured on camera. Despite Jake’s proposal to her while she was in prison, Chrissie urged him to move on with his life.

Following this, Jake’s life took a dark turn. He shot his brother Danny after Danny killed Dennis Rickman and then took on the responsibility of caring for Johnny’s daughter, Ruby. In a series of dramatic events, Jake’s life became increasingly tangled with violence and betrayal. Johnny had initially paid Jake to look after Ruby, but tensions flared when Ruby’s boyfriend, Shawn, discovered Jake’s past. Johnny then ordered Jake to kill Shawn, but before the order could be fulfilled, Johnny suffered a fatal heart attack. Misunderstanding Johnny’s dying words, Johnny’s cellmate believed they were meant for Jake, leaving Jake’s fate hanging in the balance as his last scene ended with a mysterious stranger asking if he was Jake Moon.

The revelation Chrissie shares with Sharon is both shocking and heartbreaking. Chrissie discloses that she was pregnant with Jake’s child when she was imprisoned. She had always dreamed of having a family with Jake and was excited about the prospect of starting a new chapter together. Chrissie had planned to send Jake a photo of their baby from the first scan, hoping it would bring them closer and give them a chance to build a life together. Tragically, Chrissie lost the baby just two weeks later, and she has since harbored deep resentment towards Sharon. Chrissie reveals that she blames Sharon for her miscarriage, believing that Sharon’s actions destroyed her dreams of motherhood.

This revelation not only deepens the existing drama but also sheds light on the longstanding animosity between Chrissie and Sharon, adding a poignant and tragic dimension to their turbulent relationship.
