Mel Owen (Tamzin Outhwaite) vowed to seek revenge on the Mitchells in EastEnders for all the hell that Phil (Steve McFadden) put her through following Hunters (Charlie Winter) death, and she certainly set about seeking that revenge when she blackmailed Sharon (Letitia Dean) in Tuesdays episode — and she ups her game in the next instalment.
With Mel having learned that the father of Sharons baby is Keanu (Danny Walters) — and not Phil, like the Mitchell matriarch has led everyone to believe — she has the leverage she needs to get Sharon to to bend to her will, which is something she tested out in the latest episode, when she blackmailed her into getting Louise (Tilly Keeper) and Keanu to move back in with Lisa (Lucy Benjamin).
Before the episodes conclusion, Mel made it clear that she wasnt finished with Sharon just yet and, in the next episode, she ups her game once more.
With Mel still adamant that blackmailing Sharon will get her what she needs, Lisa begins to notice how oddly shes behaving and thus questions Mel about what exactly is going on.

However, Mel refuses to reveal the truth and, instead, decides to makes another huge demand of Sharon.
However, Sharon manages to get the upper hand — something which Mels not too pleased about, so she resorts to extreme measures, delivering Sharon a threat that she simply cannot ignore.
The question is: how serious is this threat?
