SHARON and Phil’s romantic relationship in EastEnders is the most toxic in all of soap history – reuniting them would be the final nail in the hardman’s coffin.

Earlier this week, the former couple were on the verge of reuniting – again – before a Grant Mitchell-shaped spanner got in the works.

As usual, Sharon might profess her love for Phil but he’s always been a second choice for her – never truly a first – and doesn’t everyone deserve that in their life?

With Phil still struggling with his mental health after months of spiralling and attempting to take his own life – if Sharon was to betray him again – I don’t think he’d survive the turmoil.

And I’m sure she will – because Sharon isn’t truly in love with him – she just likes a safe harbour or someone to fawn over her – until something more tempting comes along.

Lets have a look back at their rollercoaster relationship and you’ll see exactly what I mean.

Back in 1990 the Mitchell brothers caused quite the stir when they arrived in the Square.

Sharon fell for bad boy Grant and it wasn’t long before the couple were installed as the owners of The Queen Vic.

But Sharon turned to Phil for comfort during her rocky marriage with the violent Grant.

However after a while, she decided it was Grant she wanted and love struck Phil was dumped.

But in a brilliant twist – Sharon was accidentally recorded telling best mate Michelle everything about her affair and millions tuned in to see what Grant would do.

Yes ‘Sharongate’ was exciting, but come on that was decades ago – we didn’t know the pair as well as we do now – and the ongoing back and forth is dull now.

Anyway back to the triangle – Grant heard the tape and played her confession in front of everyone in The Vic and then beat Phil so severely that he ended up in intensive care.

You’d think that would be enough for Phil to realise his relationship with Sharon was doomed, but no, over three decades later and the toxicity is still dragging on.

After a few years in the US, Sharon came home in 2001 and quickly fell back into Phil’s arms but she ended the relationship when Lisa told Sharon that her baby daughter, Louise, was Phil’s child.

She then met Dennis Rickman who became her soulmate but he was murdered and Sharon left the show again.

But hang on to your Mills and Boons because she came back again in 2012 and it was time for another love triangle, this time with Jack Branning and lovesick Phil.

When is enough enough? Never – according to the EastEnders bosses

However when Jack jilted Sharon, Phil made his move and the toxic lovebirds got back together again. See the pattern?

When is enough enough? Never – according to the EastEnders bosses.

Just as Sharon and Phil were finally ready to commit, Phil confessed that he had incited the murder of her soulmate Dennis.

She decided to fleece Phil for all he was worth; but he found out and planned to jilt her at the altar.
