Letitia Dean – Sharon Watts from EastEnders

Considering EastEnders has been on since 1985, it’s uncanny that Letitia Dean (one of the original cast members) is still playing the legendary character of Sharon Watts. While Watts was left out of the soap between 1995 and 2001 and 2006 and 2012, it’s undeniable that she’s one of the most popular soapie characters in the history of British television.

The actress behind Watts, Dean, appeared in The Bill, The Hello Girls, and Lady Sullivan Is Getting Married. However, EastEnders is still by far her most important project. In 2021, she celebrated her 2,371st appearance in the series. Simply remarkable!
