It could be war between Sharon and Keanu… <\/p>

Letitia Dean has revealed that things get \u201cugly\u201d in EastEnders<\/a> between former lovers Sharon Watts and Keanu Taylor.<\/p>\n

The BBC One soap will see a further dramatic set of episodes for Sharon next week<\/a> as she finds herself romanced by flirty boxing promoter Dorian Gates (Luke J Smith).<\/p>\n

Of course, this proves a sore point for Sharon\u2019s former fianc\u00e9 Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) who has had a tense relationship with Sharon since he ended their engagement<\/a> over her aiding Lisa Fowler (Lucy Benjamin) in leaving the country<\/a> with her granddaughter and Keanu\u2019s daughter, Peggy.<\/p>\n

As Sharon and Dorian grow closer, Keanu seethes and also takes some shocking liberties in regard to his time with their son Albie Watts. As Keanu takes Albie on an impromptu day out without telling Sharon, she panics, to the delight of Keanu\u2019s mum Karen Taylor (Lorraine Stanley).<\/p>\n

As the week goes on, Sharon and Keanu clash further and are forced to engage in a legal mediator to discuss access to Albie.<\/p>\n

But will events spiral when Dorian encourages Sharon to take a job in Abu Dhabi?<\/p>\n

EastEnders icon Letitia Dean has revealed all about the week in a new interview shared with RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press.<\/p>

In the past few months, Sharon\u2019s been through heartbreak with the breakdown of her and Keanu\u2019s engagement. How is she feeling at this point?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI think deep down she\u2019s heartbroken but she\u2019s covering. It was such a whirlwind when Keanu returned and I think it was inevitable that they were both going to revisit the love they once shared because it was more than just a fling.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Sharon really thought her and Keanu would be in it for the long haul but now she feels like their relationship is doomed. Keanu refuses to see that Sharon acted in his best interest and from a place of love but I think she\u2019s also tired of the constant up and down of their relationship so she\u2019s trying to bury her feelings to move forward amicably.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dorian clearly has a soft spot for Sharon. Is she enjoying the attention?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s been down for so many weeks so it\u2019s rather nice to have someone take an interest, even if it is just a bit of harmless flirting. [Laughs]\u201d<\/p>\n

This week Dorian makes Sharon an offer that will be hard to refuse. Can you give us more details on this?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cDorian offers Sharon the chance to move to Abu Dhabi to set up shop in a new gym. It would obviously be a huge change for Sharon as Walford is her home, but with her relationship in tatters, I don\u2019t think she feels like there\u2019s much left to keep her there. It would be a great business move for her, and would offer security for Albie\u2019s future so it\u2019s very tempting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Is she tempted to make the move or do you think she still has feelings for Keanu?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThey have tried time and time again to make it work, but they just can\u2019t seem to find a way through. I think she wants to get off this merry-go-round once and for all and put herself and her son first. It would also make the breakup a lot easier if there were thousands of miles between them instead of living just across the Square from each other. Plus I think she\u2019d be pleased to see the back of Karen for a while! [Laughs]\u201d<\/p>\n

Again, Sharon is at loggerheads with Keanu when he betrays her trust. How does this make her feel?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s furious at him. Time and time again, Keanu has proved to Sharon that he can\u2019t be trusted to look after their son. When he does a disappearing act with Albie, Sharon finally thinks enough is enough. She knows that Keanu worships Albie and wouldn\u2019t do anything to hurt him but it\u2019s clear he is incapable of behaving responsibly.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter losing Denny, Albie\u2019s safety is non-negotiable so the idea that he would up and leave with their son without telling her his whereabouts puts the fear of god in her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sharon comes up with a plan to make things more civil with Keanu. Can you explain this in more detail?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s clear that neither of them can come to a resolution on their own, so Sharon consults a lawyer to put an agreed plan in place so that Keanu is clear on what\u2019s expected of him when looking after Albie and what access he\u2019s entitled to. She never wanted to get to this point, but he\u2019s left her with no choice and it\u2019s not long before things start to get ugly between the pair.\u201d<\/p>\n

Do you think Sharon still loves Keanu?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWithout a doubt, but I think she questions whether he ever really loved her, or whether he just wanted to be with her because of Albie. It\u2019s never easy between them, so she\u2019s torn between her head and her heart, but we\u2019ll have to see which one wins.\u201d<\/p>\n
