Sharon Rickman

After a troubled adolescence, Den's 'Princess' Sharon emerged as an unbalanced femme fatale with a dangerous taste for bullies.

First appearance:	19th February 1985

Occupation:	Manageress of R&R

The poodle haired daughter of the late Den and Angie Watts, Sharon was affectionately known as "Princess" by Den. Even though she was adopted, she inherited the drama-queen gene from mum, Ange. She was constantly playing her parents off against each other like tennis balls. But she loved them despite living in their drunken war zone.

If Angie was 'ere now...Sharon Rickman

After a troubled adolescence, Sharon emerged as an unbalanced femme fatale with a taste for bullies. She tried both Mitchell brothers, and found them wanting. When she returned to the Square after a long absence, however, it was straight back to Phil's bed that she raced.
It wasn't until Dennis Rickman entered her life that Sharon knew the meaning of true love. However, it was complicated. Dennis was Den's son... and her half brother (though not by blood). They tried to deny their illicit love, but there was no avoiding the fact that they had to be together – not even scheming dad Den could split them up, in spite of his best efforts.
But their happiness was short lived when Danny Moon killed Dennis at the behest of vengeful gangster Johnny Allen. Concerned for the safety of her unborn child, grieving Sharon fled Walford and took up residence with best mate Michelle Fowler in sunny Florida, giving birth to future heart-throb Dennis Rickman Jnr.
Sharon returned to The Square in August 2012 in typical low key fashion; in a wedding dress on Phil Mitchell's front doorstep. Having jilted her fiance on their wedding day, Sharon and her adorable son Denny (Dennis Junior) were taken in by Jack Branning. While it seemed that Sharon and Jack were a strong couple, Sharon's old flame Phil still had eyes for her, getting her heavily involved in helping him gain custody of Lexi in the hope of luring her back into the Mitchell clan. Having received a wedding proposal from both men, Sharon chose to leave the past behind, and start a new future with Jack... pity Jack didnt feel the same way! Having being back in contact with Ronnie, Jack realised that the love he felt for Sharon could never compare, and decided not to go ahead with their wedding.
