With Sharon in hot pursuit, Mel’s escape ends in horror…
History could be set to repeat itself in Walford this autumn, as the furious feud between Mel and the Mitchells ends in a horrific car crash!
Our behind-the-scenes snaps of Sharon and Mel embroiled in a high-speed car chase are reminiscent of the 2002 episodes in which Mel’s late hubby,
Steve Owen, died in a crash after being chased through the streets of Walford by Phil! So with Mel due to bow out of the show soon, might she meet the same fate as her beloved?
“If you remember correctly, Steve was trying to flee the country with Mel, Lisa, and Louise – which is exactly what Mel is trying to do this time around!” gasps our Albert Square insider. “She’s been blackmailing Sharon for money, as she plans to start a new life in Portugal with Lisa, Louise, Keanu and the baby. She wants Sharon to stump up the cash for a fancy family villa – and she has some proper dirt to use against her nemesis!” Having discovered that Keanu – not Phil – is the father of Sharon’s unborn baby, Mel is threatening to blow the secret wide open unless Sharon coughs up the cash. But judging by the shots of these action-packed scenes, Sharon won’t let Mel get away from Walford scot-free…
It’s not clear from our snaps whether there’s anyone else in the car with Mel – but what we can tell you is that events will take a horrifying turn as her vehicle careers off the road, resulting in a catastrophic accident! So could Sharon end up bearing witness to her enemy’s demise?
“During Steve’s fateful last moments,
he handed baby Louise over to Phil, before his car went up in flames!” our mole reminds us. “So could Mel’s exit from the show be a heartbreaking mirror of her hubby’s goodbye? Or can Sharon save her in time?”
