EastEnders viewers have desperately been trying to work out who Sharon Mitchell’s real dad is.
And it seems as if we may have cracked the case.
As you’ll undoubtedly remember, Sharon (Letitia Dean) began searching for her real father several months ago, after she learned that her biological mother had passed away.
Firstly, she was given a stack of letters that revealed his name was Gavin - the same name as Kathy Beale’s dangerous new husband (Paul Nicholas).
Secondly, after a failed attempt at manipulation from Phil (Steve McFadden), Sharon managed to track down her dad's real address - a huge imposing mansion in Notting Hill.
And, in spoiler pictures released by the BBC, Kathy Beale can be seen being arrested outside her own super-swanky mansion in Notting Hill.
On a street that looks VERY like the one Sharon visited to find her real dad.
Coincidence?
It seems doubtful - especially as filming on location is so expensive. There is definitely a reason EastEnders bosses chose to use this specific Notting Hill location twice in the show.
Thirdly, but perhaps most importantly, is the fact that Phil tried to stop his wife from tracking down her own father.
As someone who is such a big believer in the power of family, it was oddly out of character.
However we do know that he has a) been in contact with Kathy (Gillian Taylforth) for at least a few months now, and b) that he chose not to tell Sharon the truth after he tracked down her real dad.
Could this be because he didn’t want to expose Kathy’s big deception?
Or could it be because he didn’t want his wife to learn that her father, Gavin, is a dangerous and vindictive criminal?
After all, producer, Dominic Treadwell-Collins, has hinted that there’s a very sinister story yet to be unveiled concerning Gavin, who he teased will prove to be, “the most manipulative and dangerous villain we’ve ever had!”
We guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens.
One thing’s for sure, the shockwaves from both Kathy Beale’s return AND Sharon Mitchell’s biological father are sure to change Walford… forever.
Do you think Gavin is Sharon’s real dad?
