EastEnders fans will recall that Grant and Sharon got married in 1991, but she soon wondered if she’d married the wrong brother and began to have an affair with Phil.

Her marriage with Grant came to an explosive end back in 1994 when her affair with Phil was revealed after Grant discovered a tape containing a conversation between Michelle and Sharon discussing the affair. The tape was played at Phil and Kathy’s engagement party, publicising the affair to everyone in Albert Square!
