Sharon Rickman opens her new bar next week.

 

Sharon (Letitia Dean) recently announced she is to launch her own business in Walford.

 

In upcoming scenes, the residents of Albert Square will turn up for the opening of Sharon's brand new bar.

 

Excited about the opening of their new establishment, Sharon and Phil (Steve McFadden) celebrate. As the pair share a kiss, will this be a new beginning for them as a couple?

 

On the night, Bianca Butcher (Patsy Palmer) enjoys the free drinks. A drunken Bianca spills a drink on Whitney and it's not long before she creates a scene.

 

When Phil looks over to see Bianca in a state, he is not happy. However, a quick-witted Sharon dives in and tries to cool Phil down.

 

Meanwhile, the Carter family arrive at the opening to support Johhny (Sam Strike) who has landed a job working behind the bar. But will things work out for Johnny?

Whitney Dean cuts ties with Johnny

Johnny Carter is left disappointed next week as Whitney Dean ends their friendship.

The pair's close bond becomes strained after they have a misunderstanding during Lauren Branning's birthday party.

Lauren's celebration takes place at Sharon Rickman's new bar, as Johnny (Sam Strike) offers it up as a private party venue after landing a job there.

The night initially goes well, but when Peter Beale manages to upset Whitney (Shona McGarty), she allows her feelings for Johnny to come to the surface again and kisses him.

Although the pair later try to fix their friendship, it's clear that Whitney will always want more from Johnny, despite knowing that he is gay.

When Whitney takes on board some advice from Johnny's aunt Tina, she leaves him crushed by insisting that they can't be friends anymore.

Whitney isn't the only Albert Square resident giving Johnny a hard time, as he also has to face Sharon's wrath when she finds out about the secret party at her bar.

When Sharon (Letitia Dean) fires Johnny for his betrayal, he is left with a tough task on his hands to win back her trust.

EastEnders airs these scenes on Tuesday, April 1 and Thursday, April 3 at 7.30pm on BBC One.
