Dean is believed to have started work on the show again on Wednesday (June 6). Sharon will return in a dramatic storyline in which her child Dennis Jr has been kidnapped, according to The Mirror.
She reportedly enlists the help of ex-partner Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden), and embarks on a car chase that leads them into a wooded area in order to find the child.
"Sharon is petrified of losing her son," a show source said. "She has nowhere else to turn, so as a last resort she goes to Phil. They have a lot of history together and he agrees to help, but it's no easy task.
"The scenes are going to be emotional and gripping, which is exactly what Letitia wanted when she agreed to come back. They will be screened at the end of August and should ensure everyone is talking about the return of 'Princess' Sharon."
The kidnap takes place on Sharon's wedding day to fiancée John (Jesse Birdsall), according to the Daily Star. When Sharon jilts John at the last minute, he reportedly takes revenge by snatching Dennis.
The scenes are expected to air in August, with Steve McFadden recently stating that Dean's return will be "brilliant".
HA, her fiance obviously didn't know that's how wedding's go down in Walford...

so in the paper it said 'sharons back to save enders' coz her alone will save the show from its downfall, i dont think so, a number of things still need to change to bring the show back to what it was no1 soap. bryan kirkwood has left far enough but he wernt the only one to blame for the way enders has been failing, its the behind the scenes team, looking at the credits there are alot of new names and that aint necessarily a good thing, new writers who cant write decent episodes, bringing in people who cant act, moving the omnibus to 1am in the morning, who watches soap omnibuses at tose times people watch on sundays the chill out day, it was moved for olympic coverage which aint started yet and so what it could have just moved around for the coverage dont mean it had to be put permanant for this stupid tme, not everyone has a computer to iplayer it. also the 2 big awards BAFTAs and NTAs and enders didnt win neither, is that not telling you something enders FIX UP AND SORT OUT YOUR SHOW

// ok now i was looking forward to sharon coming back but come on seriously ? this story line is just stupid, can't it be something happy for once deadenders strikes again it seems. no wonder so many people are turning off and watching corrie or emmerdale they seem to have the best story lines if you out count debbie and her dughter that is, would be better if the kid actually looked sick. but anyway sharon and phil again oh boy trying to capture the glory days when its clear all he ever does is grunt and look drunk, bring back grant so much better then phill. and one more thing Kat lose the makeup love you look like mutton dressed as lamb.

Couldn't she have just come back to rescue Ian?! Oh no, this is DeadEnders, we have to have a kidnap, a car chase and a mystery man! I wouldn't be surprised if she's been saddled with a terminal disease as this crop of writing school don't half lay it on thick with the already heavy doom and gloom! It's sensationalist and way over the top and no Letitia Dean will not save this show, no one will. Lorraine has put a foot wrong already with this stupid summer affair of Kat's, off buttons will be clicking everywhere.

// agree with you 100% on that Tim Eastenders only ever cares about how much money they make not about what us the people that watch it love.
