I am sad to say, now you mention it, she does look rather poorly. Her hair also looks like a wig? I hope Letitia is alright but if not, I hope she is receiving good treatment and care. She is still performing well. Sharon has become on of the best characters in the show.

They've all turned up for some cringey "we'll all raise the baby together. F Zack", then in walks Zack and she forgets all about them

I really hope it’s not going to turn into Corries Summer and her 3 dads scenario 🤢

I don’t think the lighting helps in the studios.
She looks fab from a distance but the close ups are harsh on her.

someone else mentioned her hair you can see where it’s been backcombed to give her some lift but I’d love to see the extensions go and replaced with a nice style.

When will the storyliners/scriptwriters realise that having a character revert into denial just to build up tension is unrealistic and predictable? Zac has up until now, been protrayed as a lucid, moral man with his head screwed on and a slight Beano boy element. He is also a fitness coach and would surely know that evidently 'healthy' people can be HIV positive. He is not that naive. Surely he would confide in Sharon, his sister, who has given him unconditional love since they met. Yet, no, we go in to denial mode and lies to build up 'drama'. Whitney NEEDS to know, as she and the baby are at risk of the virus. Moral Zac would not lie to them. He would be bricking it, for sure, but he would make sure Whitney got checked out.

This is the writers being economical with the storylines and stretching them out to make them last. It is frustrating and also boring. Sharon's best friend's brother died of AIDS. She is not going to be perplexed at Zac's situation.

Agreed. Zach is not that old either. He would have been at school in the 90s when there was very thorough sex ed around HIV, and many of the myths were dispelled. And unless he’s been living in a cave he’d know full well that there are treatments available that mean his life expectancy should not be shortened. I mean, it must be scary as hell having HIV but it’s not 1982.

Why does every affair storyline in EE have the same pattern? Normal couple, one starts acting like an uncharacteristic hole, the other one gets attention from outside the marriage. They resist it at first then it comes to a head and they shag someone else. Always feels like the writers are trying to justify it.

Apparently her father died last year and then she lost all the weight. They need to tone her makeup down I think.

oh bless her - i remember her saying how close she was to her parents (and i think they both lived with her) when she was on secrets from the square over lockdown.

agreed with the comments upthread about her bringing back the bob/short cut. it really suited her.
 
And Ravi really suits his hairstyle… even I can’t help staring at him and his rugged looks… might have to hog the remote control when it’s EE time for this, a torrid love affair with Dee! 😂

I was feeling sick when I saw Jack as sweaty dancer, it was cringe for someone who has vanilla personality

Kim might egg her on with Ravi as she’s never really warmed to Jack 😆

I agree. This is the problem I have with these hard hitting issue driven storylines. It's all so over the top, characters don't stay true to themselves and act how we - as viewers - know they would. Look how many times some of the characters have switched personalities due to whatever storyline has been cooked up. For me, it's frustrating and I much prefer the character driven storylines. That being said, we are all different and I'm sure there's plenty of viewers who don't agree and that's fair enough.
