Last week, Sharon ended up going back to stay with her friend Ian. Meanwhile, Phil has been determined more than ever to get his hands on The Vic.
Mick’s dilemma
In tonight’s visit to Walford, Linda was against selling the pub to Phil. She was furious with him after the way he treated her best pal and didn’t want him to get his hands on the business.
However, Mick didn’t want to pull out of selling, due to the fact they already put a deposit on a flat. He also didn’t want Linda to be in the pub any longer, given her drinking problem.
Mick later confided in Sharon about his dilemma, and she agreed that Linda needed to get out of there as soon as possible.
The new landlady: Sharon Watts
But Phil got a nasty shock when he went to get the paperwork signed. Mick told him and Linda that he had found a new buyer and the paperwork had been completed.
Leading them through to the bar, Sharon was stood behind it with Ian sat on a stool opposite.
As Phil stood there looking stunned, Sharon said: “Hello Phil. What can I get you?” as Ian smiled smugly.
