EastEnders airs shocking scenes as Sharon turns on Ravi

This week’s episodes of EastEnders saw Sharon and Keanu deal with the aftermath of son Albie’s christening. As Keanu ran a job for Ravi on the morning of the christening, he was caught by police and arrested.

Fearing that Keanu had ratted him out to the police, Ravi attacked his former business associate. Leaving Keanu for dead, he fled the scene.

However, to Sharon and Karen’s delight, Keanu pulled through from his injuries. Furious at what Ravi had done, Sharon reported him to the police. With Ravi under arrest for attempted murder, Sharon proposed to Keanu.

However, as these scenes aired, viewers found themselves distracted by Sharon’s appearance of late. Some felt that she resembled a familiar face from the past.
