EastEnders' Sharon ‘to the rescue' as prison looms for major characters
In forthcoming scenes on the BBC soap, Sharon's half-sister Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) comes dangerously close to landing the murderous Walford women in prison when she considers telling the police about Bernie Taylor's (Clair Norris) recent shenanigans.
Before she departed Albert Square earlier this month, Bernie had been stealing money out of the Panesars' businesses as revenge for The Six killing her brother Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters).
When Vicki was roped in to audit the Panesars' accounts, she uncovered Bernie's fraudulent activities and blackmailed her, wanting a cut of some of the cash to repay a loan to Sharon.
However, Bernie eventually turned the tables on her, and told the Panesars it was Vicki who had been stealing from them.
While Bernie's lies were eventually exposed to Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal), she let Bernie off the hook and escape to Spain with the cash after pleas from Keanu's killer Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) and fellow members of The Six Denise Fox (Diane Parish) and Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) to set Bernie free.
Still in the dark about the real reasons Bernie set her up, this week Vicki is still smarting, while still scrambling to raise the cash to pay Sharon back.
When Kathy gets wind of Vicki's plan to go to the police about Bernie, she makes a panicked call to Sharon, who is still in Australia, asking her to intervene.
She suggests Sharon should walk back her threat to chuck Vicki out of No. 43 if she doesn't repay her debts in the hope it will stop Vicki from feeling the pressure, and thus the need to go to the police about Bernie…
Sharon was last seen on the day of Martin Fowler's (James Bye) funeral back in April.
Just shortly after Vicki's arrival in Walford, Sharon set off to Australia to look after Vicki's mum and her longtime best friend Michelle Fowler (Susan Tully), who was struggling to come to terms with the loss of her brother Martin.

Did Ozzy Osbourne bite the head off a bat? Truth behind icon's wildest on stage moment
Black Sabbath legend Ozzy Osbourne had plenty of wild on stage moments throughout his career, yet one incident stands out above the rest as he once feared it would be mentioned on his grave Ozzy Osbourne's Prince of Darkness nickname was certainly not just because of his jet black looks on stage and all boiled down to once incident. The Black Sabbath icon pushed the limits during his performances, and even in the world of rock he managed to turn heads. He did not get his onstage name by accident, and long reigned over the rock world until his final show earlier this month. Ozzy received a royal music send off at Birmingham's Villa Park, where he performed with his band for one last time. Just over two weeks later, Ozzy's death at the age of 76 was announced by his beloved family. A statement shared on Tuesday said: "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. "He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family's privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis." Of all moments in Ozzy's career, one antic stands out above the rest in how he is being remembered. On January 20, 1982, Ozzy famously bit the head off a bat while on stage, becoming one of the most notorious moments in rock history. Decades later, some recollections of the wild incident have varied, while others have stood the test of time as fact. Ozzy was two months into his tour to promote his second solo album, Diary of a Madman. While on the road, Ozzy started a tradition where he would catapult pieces of raw meat and animal parts into the audience. Word quickly spread through his fans and they started coming to the shows armed and ready to retaliate. During his show at Des Moines' Veterans Memorial Auditorium, something small and black was lobbed on stage with Ozzy thinking it was a rubber toy. In his 2010 autobiography, Ozzy declared he picked it up, stuffed it in his mouth and chomped down. "Immediately, though, something felt wrong. Very wrong. For a start, my mouth was instantly full of this warm, gloopy liquid," he recalled in I Am Ozzy. "Then the head in my mouth twitched." "Somebody threw a bat. I just thought it was a rubber bat. And I picked it up and put it in my mouth. I bit into it," he said. Yet, he soon realised what was happening and quipped: "Oh no, it's real. It was a real live bat." However, Ozzy's account has varied over the years as he once said the bat was already dead. Speaking to the BBC in 2006, he recalled: "This bat comes on. I thought it was one of them Hallowe'en joke bats 'cos it had some string around its neck," he said. "I bite into it, and I look to my left and Sharon [Osbourne, his wife and then manager] was going [gesturing no]. And I'm like, what you talking about? She [says], 'it's a dead real bat'. And I'm... I know now!" In an effort to settle the tale once and for all, the man who claimed to have taken the bat to the concert said it was in fact dead. Mark Neal was 17-years-old at the time and told the Des Moines Register, that his younger brother had brought the bat home a fortnight before. Sadly, it hadn't survived and by the time Mark took it to the concert, it had been dead for days.
