Yes, she's back. A mere glimpse of Sharon (Letitia Dean) arriving unexpectedly in Albert Square at the end of last Thursday's episode was enough to send the imagination into overdrive.
Despite reports to the contrary, Dean is not leaving the series just yet - there is more excitement to be had from the Sharon/Grant/Phil affair - and in fact she will be on our screens until the summer. For now Sharon seems happy to be back and staying with her friend but she is strangely calm and collected, even when she hears about Phil and Kathy.

Are we facing a future of violence and chaos? In the programme's contribution to
Science Week, Panorama looks at the alarming prophecies of post-apocalyptic films such as Mad Max and Blade Runner, and asks whether western governments are simply accepting worst-case scenarios, rather than taking action to avoid them.
See today's choices.
(Note: because Panorama is a topical programme and likely to react to events in the news, the above programme is liable to change.)
Tonight's films under review include "The Madness of King George", the directorial debut of Nicholas Hytner, which has gained four Oscar nominations - for Nigel Hawthorne, Helen Mirren, Alan Bennett who adapted his own stage play, and for Production Design. Also reviewed are: "Nobody's Fool", starring Best Actor nominee Paul Newman, with the late Jessica Tandy, Bruce Willis and Melanie Griffith, and "Drop Zone", with Wesley Snipes and Gary Busey.
Spike Lee talks about his latest film "Crooklyn", and there's a report on the illegal video copying of films.
