While a second wrote: “SHARON LOOKS 20 YEARS OLD.”
With a third affirmation: “Sharon is back and she looks like 25th Queen. #EastEnders.”
Her timeless look had fans wondering what her secret was, with a hint that she might have a plastic surgeon to thank.

Sharon has returned as the show has taken on a lot of drama as Janine Butcher tried to cover up the truth about her car accident after moving Linda Carter to make it appear like she was driving in shock scenes.
Most recently, the couple were involved in a horror car accident which saw Janine crash into a tree after losing control of the car after dodging an oncoming truck as the duo discussed her love interest Mick Carter, played by Danny Dyer, had argued.

During Tuesday’s explosive episode, Janine, played by Charlie Brooks, moved a drunk Linda, played by Kellie Bright, to make it appear as if she was driving.
Despite being unaware of Janine’s devious car crash plot, Sharon has threatened to expose Janine over her money scam which saw Linda’s daughter Nancy cheated out of £50,000.
Sharon has been a recurring member of the soap since her first appearance as a teenager in the 1980s, when the show began.
Letitia revealed after returning to set after lockdown that she suffers from “anxiety” at the thought of going back to work.

“It was weird because it was like a ghost town, but I’m glad I did it because I was scared to go back in.”
Speaking about lockdown, Letitia revealed that it felt like “a bit of a holiday” at first, but over time it became “difficult”.
