EastEnders spoilers: Mel blackmails Sharon into manipulating Louise after getting hold of her paternity results
EASTENDERS' Mel Owen will be left wondering what to do about her shocking discovery that Keanu Taylor is the dad of Sharon Mitchell’s unborn baby.
Fans of the BBC One soap will see that the grieving mum is still desperate for revenge on the Mitchell clan following Hunter’s death. And with the help of pal Lisa Fowler, she gets hold of Keanu’s phone and sets a trap for Sharon.
But when EastEnders' favourite Sharon Mitchell realises that Mel knows the truth, she’s horrified and warns her away.
And things only get worse when the pregnant mum – played by Letitia Dean - discovers that Mel has even got hold of the DNA results revealing the paternity of her child.
A desperate Sharon pleads with Mel to keep her secret - but this comes at a price.
The former E20 boss blackmails Sharon and tells her she’s got one day to convince her step-daughter Louise to move back in with her mum, Lisa, or she’ll spill the beans.
Tomorrow night’s episode sees Sharon crumbling with pressure as she tries to think of a way to get Louise back to Lisa’s.
She then decides to invite Keanu and Louise for lunch, but is frustrated when Phil joins.
Keanu quickly picks up on Sharon’s odd behaviour and confronts her. When he asks her what’s going on, she lies to him and tells him she can’t bear living with him anymore, leaving him stunned.
Sharon’s relieved when Keanu and Louise decide to move in with Lisa. But she’s soon left chilled when Mel reveals it’s not over yet and that she’ll be in touch.
EastEnders fans were left delighted after Friday’s episode when a vengeful Mel declared war on the Mitchells.
The grieving businesswoman - who is played by actress Tamzin Outhwaite - was left broken after Phil did everything possible to make burying her son Hunter impossible.
But it has sparked her into a furious revenge plot that will lead to her exit.
After a furious showdown with Sharon who was trying to offer her an olive branch, Mel took it the wrong way.
Thinking Sharon was trying to get the club from her, Mel began issuing threats.
Sharon defended herself and told Mel: "With you as a mother he never stood a chance anywhere. Hunter was always a heartless psychopath."
Devastated by Sharon's words Mel burst into tears and warned her: "You're going to regret that. Get out of my house."
Later when Lisa returned home Mel had hardened and was preparing for war.

"I swear on Hunter's memory, I'm going to make them pay."
Fans cannot wait for the showdown between Mel and Phil and Sharon.
