Next week, fans of *EastEnders* are in for a thrilling turn of events as Sharon Watts finds herself at the center of a risky romance that could shake up her life in Walford. After years of heartbreak, Sharon’s love life looks like it might be taking an unexpected turn, but it won’t be without complications – especially when her ex-husband, Phil Mitchell, catches wind of it.

Sharon has always had her fair share of admirers, but recently, a new contender has emerged: Teddy Mitchell, Phil’s cousin. Since his arrival in Walford earlier this year, Teddy has made it no secret that he’s interested in Sharon. His charming and dashing demeanor has caught the attention of many, but Sharon has been cautious, especially given her complicated history with the Mitchell family. Although she initially rejected Teddy’s advances, that’s all set to change next week.

In the upcoming episodes, the spark between Sharon and Teddy is set to reignite as Teddy steps up his game to win her over. As Walford prepares for the engagement party of Eve Unwin and Suki Panesar, Teddy sees an opportunity to impress Sharon by coming to the aid of Kathy Beale, who finds herself in a last-minute bind while organizing the party. With the engagement celebrations looming, Teddy offers to lend a hand, hoping to catch Sharon’s eye in the process.

While Sharon is still hesitant about Teddy’s intentions, her close friend Kathy plays the role of matchmaker, urging Sharon to give Teddy a chance. Kathy’s advice weighs heavily on Sharon’s mind, and though she is initially skeptical, she starts to reconsider her stance on Teddy. The idea of moving on with someone new, especially someone like Teddy, becomes more appealing to her. However, the specter of Phil’s wrath lingers, complicating her decision.

Things take an interesting turn when Teddy’s son, Harry Mitchell, inadvertently gets involved in his father’s romantic pursuit. Trying to help smooth things over between Sharon and Teddy, Harry comes up with a plan to bring the two together. He secretly sets up a date for them at The Queen Vic, hoping his matchmaking efforts will bring the pair closer. Teddy, unaware of Harry’s interference, is initially annoyed when he finds out about the setup. However, his frustration quickly turns to surprise when Sharon shows up, taking him up on his offer for a drink.

For a moment, it seems like things might finally be falling into place for Teddy and Sharon. Their chemistry is undeniable, and the date seems to be going well – until disaster strikes. Just when Teddy and Sharon start to let their guard down, Teddy is abruptly pulled away from the date. His son, Barney Mitchell, finds himself in the middle of a heated confrontation with another Walford local, Nandra Hart, at McClunkey’s, forcing Teddy to rush off and deal with the situation.

Sharon, left sitting alone, is frustrated and disappointed. After finally opening herself up to the possibility of something new, Teddy’s sudden departure feels like a setback. Despite her growing interest in Teddy, Sharon can’t help but wonder if this is a sign that things won’t work out. The question remains – will she give Teddy another chance, or will this missed opportunity be the end of their budding romance?

Meanwhile, lurking in the background is Phil Mitchell, Sharon’s ex-husband and a force to be reckoned with. Phil has a long history with Sharon, and his temper is notorious. Though Sharon and Phil are no longer together, he still feels a sense of possessiveness when it comes to her. If Phil catches wind of Teddy’s advances toward Sharon, there’s no telling what kind of chaos might ensue.

Phil has never been one to handle competition well, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. His reaction to Sharon dating someone from his own family could spell trouble not only for Sharon and Teddy but for the entire Mitchell clan. Will Phil confront his cousin, and if so, how will it affect Teddy’s pursuit of Sharon? The stakes are high, and viewers can expect plenty of drama in the coming episodes.

As Sharon ponders whether to give Teddy another shot, she’s not just weighing her feelings for him – she’s also considering the potential fallout with Phil. A relationship with Teddy could mean reigniting old tensions with her ex-husband, which Sharon is understandably wary of. However, Sharon has never been one to back down from a challenge, and if she truly believes Teddy is worth the risk, she may be willing to face Phil’s wrath head-on.

The upcoming episodes of *EastEnders* promise to deliver a gripping mix of romance, family dynamics, and high-stakes drama. Sharon’s risky romance with Teddy Mitchell is just getting started, but the road ahead is sure to be full of twists and turns. Fans will have to wait and see if Sharon’s heart leads her toward love or if Phil’s presence will once again stand in the way of her happiness. One thing is for certain: Walford is in for another explosive week.
