I think it was done during the time Grant briefly returned in 2006.

EastEndersonTV also posted this UK Gold special on the Mitchell Brothers hosted by Kim Medcalf.
A fairly good special, and I know how much you like the Mitchell's, Carl.
Tony Jordan says Sharongate was planned from the beginning, they always had that story in mind for Sharon, Grant, and Phil.

Janine named her daughter Scarlett Patricia Moon, the middle name obviously being in honour of Pat...

Can Janine push Derek off a cliff before Charlie goes on her 6 month break then?
0 -
Yes, that's Derek Branning.
The Branning invasion is a bit annoying, especially in Simon Ashdown's episodes where he shoehorns them into everything.
Sharon is back in early August.

The past few episodes have been great with Janine's wedding, Diane back (even they she felt like an extra at the actual wedding), and Janine giving birth prematurely. Basically, Janine's been carrying huge parts of the over the last year or so.
Joey Branning is clearly the newest in a line of Dennis Rickman knockoffs, and he even looks a bit like Nigel Harman.
One article just pimped Lucy and Joey as the new Sharon and Grant...

although Grantham probably would have been fine as Pete.
Anyone else would have been really, how Peter Dean ever got cast is beyond me. By far the weakest of the original core cast of characters.
And he wasn't liked on-set or by various producers either...

Gillian Taylforth originally auditioned for Sue Osman on EastEnders, but Julia Smith and Tony Holland thought she would be a better fit for Kathy Beale.
And of course, Leslie Grantham originally auditioned for Pete Beale.

Why did the BBC commission this?

You mean Letitia's first "I'm outta here to do panto" exit?
A few months later, Grant was begging her to take him back...

I always wondered why Stacey and Dennis had the relationship that Sean and Stacey should have had, but never really did....

A little more on Sharon's return. I wonder if this female friend is staying on the show with her, or if she'll be a longterm character. Jessie Birdsall is playing the jilted groom Sharon dumps on their wedding day.

I think Ronnie is a dead character with nowhere left to go. Samantha Womack seems so happy to be off the show in interviews. You can tell she prefers doing musicals and comedy.
It will be interesting to see how Sharon and Roxy interact, considering that both Ronnie and Roxy were initially poor imitations of certain aspect of Sharon's character.

I've seen those comments from a rabid Phil and Shirley on digitalspy fan who is depressed by Sharon returning.
As if Phil ever cared about Shirley in the first place.

I don't understand the point of Kat's story, especially if her mystery man is a Branning. Like Kat or one of the Branning needs another affair storyline. If this story were to work, I would hope they would use it as a mechanism to split Kat and Alfie up for good, or even just for an extended period.
I'm not too annoyed with Phil being involved, as he's the character Sharon shares the most history with on the show at the moment. He was always going to be involved in her return one way or another. I do think Sharon was one of the few people Phil ever genuinely loved and cared about.

More pictures/details on Sharon's return story, as well as a pic of the little boy playing Dennis, Jr.
I wonder if Sharon's been living in England for a while again and no one knew, but it would be strange that Ian never mentioned it, since they've apparently been in contact.

Some details on Sharon's return, which is apparently happening on-screen in late August per this article.

Masood's brother has been cast:

Thanks!
So, I guess BARB started tracking ratings in the UK from 1981 onwards, that's nice to know. I've long considered paying for an online account with them (for research/pop cultural nostalgia).
Besides Corrie, did other continuing dramas/soaps rank high throughout the 60's and 70's, or was EastEnders really the first threat to Corrie's dominance?

I think it would be partly inevitable, since Grant's love for Sharon and the way their marriage turned out was such a vital part of his character and he never got over her. Even when she was off the show in the late 90's, Grant was still in love with her.
I think Sharon moved past the Mitchell's in a way though, but I never thought she loved Phil in the same way she once loved Grant. I just think she felt more comfortable with Phil, if that makes any sense.
I don't think Ross would ever come back though, not unless the show was ending or something. I do really think Grant is better left in the 90's if his 2005 and 2006 stints were any indication...
I do think if the show ever ended and Ross came back, they would pair Grant and Sharon again and have them in the Vic. Sharon is the "link" character between the show's two biggest eras (Den & Angie era and the Mictchell era). Really, she was vital in the show's transition and survival in the early 90's after a lot had changed.
