EastEnders’ Sharon Mitchell had something really important to tell her husband earlier this week – and fans were dying to know what it was.
On Tuesday night (June 18), the episode ended with Sharon’s lip quivering as she told Phil Mitchell: “There’s something I need to tell you…”

As the famous duff duffs played out, BBC viewers couldn’t wait until Thursday night when they could discover Sharon’s bombshell – only they didn’t!
Last night’s episode (June 20) of EastEnders started with no reference to Tuesday’s ending at all, leaving fans totally baffled and convinced they’d missed an episode.
In an unusual move, the BBC soap did NOT resolve Tuesday’s final shock scene, in which fans hoped Sharon would tell Phil the truth about the baby she’s carrying and her passionate affair with Keanu Taylor.

Instead of picking up in the aftermath of Sharon’s confession, Thursday’s instalment began with a bound and gagged Keanu.
No, not a kinky sex game… He’d been kidnapped and was being held in an abandoned warehouse.
But fans were stumped, with one tweeting: “Have I missed an episode?? Why is Keanu locked up? There wasn’t a episode Wednesday. #EastEnders.”
Another said: “But honestly I’ve been searching around for the episode of EastEnders I’d missed after how tonight’s started!”

A third agreed, writing: “Did I miss an episode of #EastEnders? Feeling confused about what’s going on!”
“So did anyone think they’d missed an episode on today’s EastEnders or is it just me?” asked another, while one more added: “Glad I wasn’t the only one that had to double check I missed an episode of EastEnders? Pretty poor writing. Soz.”
In fact, dozens of fans took to Twitter to express their confusion over the beginning of the episode, which they say “didn’t make sense”.
It soon became clear that mechanic Keanu had been drugged and kidnapped by Sharon and Karen, in a bid to stop him from telling girlfriend Louise Mitchell that he’s also the father of her stepmother Sharon’s baby.
The pair fear that if Phil ever finds out the truth, he’ll kill Keanu.
When Karen thought Sharon was going too far, the pregnant matriarch thumped her, knocking Keanu’s mum out cold.
Things took an even more dramatic turn when Keanu tried to escape and seemed ready to jump off a building to escape certain death by Phil.
Luckily Sharon talked him down, telling Keanu: “It was all my idea. You needed to see the danger you would be in if you told Phil about the baby.”
She continued: “This is nothing compared to what he’s done to people who cross him, his own brother even. If Phil finds out about us you’re a dead man, and you know that.”
Keanu agreed to keep quiet, after Sharon insisted the baby isn’t his.
But something tells us it’s not over yet…
