SHARON has a confession to make in EastEnders (BBC1) – she’s an addict.

She just can’t stop watching The Housewives Of New Jersey no matter how hard she tries. Only joking. No, newlyreturned- to-Walford Sharon is hooked on painkillers.

Wouldn’t you be after all the trouble she’s had? Most recently she fled her own wedding to ask for help from Fill the Fug while the bridegroom screamed something about her having a guilty secret. Now we know what it is.

She’s given them up but could be reaching for the pills when Fill the Fig makes her an offer she can surely refuse. Fill’s taken charge of the Queen Vic again – running a pub being the ideal occupation for a reformed alcoholic – and asks Sharon to run the bar.

The place doesn’t exactly hold happy memories for her. Her father Dirty Den was done in there and buried in the cellar, it was the scene of the revelation of her affair with Fill and she almost died in a fire. When she says no, Fill comes over all nasty, causing her to seek out the pills stashed in her handbag.

Fiddling Syed, who’s stolen money from his brother to help pay his debts, should be looking forward to his wedding, but while onward boyfriend Christian soldiers, Syed is getting chummy with someone he meets in the family restaurant. Could some hanky panky be in store at the Argee Bargee?

Syed starts chatting to stranger (very strange, if you ask me) Danny, a stockbroker who clearly fancies him. He wants to show hard-up Syed how to raise his stock.

It’s curlers at dawn in Coronation Street (ITV1) as Mighty Michelle and Terrible Tracy come to blows under the dryer at Audrey’s hair salon. The cause of the friction is Tracy’s affair with Michelle’s druggie son, Ryan.

Michelle tries to put a damper on their liaison by charging Ryan rent, figuring that won’t leave him with any spare cash to spend on Tracy, who likes a man with a bulging wallet. Unfortunately, they’re booked in at the same time to have their hair done. Before you can say “short back and sides” the two women are fighting, with the brawl spilling on to these blood-splattered cobbles.

Mum’s still the word – a very dirty word – for Amy in Emmerdale (ITV1). She said some very nasty things about the mother who gave her away as a baby, which mum Kerry overheard. Now she’s doing the decent thing and leaving the village.

Now, Amy’s feeling ashamed of what she said. Can she persuade Kerry stay? Probably, but I wouldn’t mind betting she’ll be off again next week.
