is the father. She settles on having an abortion, but Phil discovers she's pregnant, and Sharon lies letting Phil believe he is the father. When Keanu discovers that she is pregnant and that he could be the father, he decides that he should tell Louise about their affair. Sharon and Karen kidnap him in order to prevent this, in an attempt to scare him by showing him what Phil would do if he found out. After Sharon convinces him that Phil is the father, he returns home, promising not to reveal their affair. Mel's son Hunter Owen (Charlie Winter) is shot dead by S019 officers, after holding Louise at gunpoint, and Phil tells Sharon to refuse Mel from using the E20 accounts to fund his funeral. Mel discovers that Keanu is the father of Sharon's baby and she blackmails Sharon for money and a villa in Portugal, as well as forcing her to sell her half of the E20 club to Ruby Allen (Louisa Lytton). Sharon finds out that Mel is planning on exposing her affair to Phil and follows her, so Mel hastily attempts to reveal it on a phone via Billy. Before she can tell Billy, Mel crashes into another car and falls unconscious. Whilst Sharon rescues Mel from the wreckage before it explodes, Mel continues to hear Hunter’s voice and walks into the road and is fatally hit by a lorry. Lisa, whom Mel confided to, tells Phil that Sharon's baby is not his, and Phil's suspicions are aroused further at Mel's funeral when Lisa announces to the pub that Sharon is carrying another man's child and that she was only paying for Mel's funeral out of guilt, though Sharon denies this. Phil secretly discovers that Keanu is the father and confronts Sharon on Christmas Day, ending their marriage. Sharon is disowned by the Mitchell family, including Dennis. She is taken in by Ian. When Keanu goes missing, Sharon fears that Phil has had him murdered, but Linda tells her that she and Martin Fowler (James Bye) faked his death in order to trick Ben and that there is evidence on Martin’s burner phone. Sharon later breaks into Martin's shed and steals the phone, giving it to the police and leading to Phil and Ben's arrests. Soon after, Dennis drowns in a boat crash, and on the same day, Sharon gives birth to a son, Albie Watts,
