Coming up next, it's been almost 19 years since Sharon Watts had her step-mother, Chrissie Watts, put in jail for murdering her father, Den. And now, these two women are about to come face-to-face once again, and it's bound to be explosive. Actress Tracy-Ann Oberman, who plays killer Chrissie, recently spoke about returning to her role in the show's latest episode, which aired on Thursday.
Sharon, who was sent to prison for being in contempt of court during Dean Wicks' murder trial, has no idea that Chrissie is in the cell right next to hers. Tracy-Ann describes her comeback storyline as a mix between "Orange is the New Black," "Prisoner Cell Block H," and a classic Bette Davis and Joan Crawford film. It's definitely going to be a wild ride for these two Watts women when they finally reunite.
But what will Chrissie's reaction be? Has she let go of the past or has she been plotting her revenge against Sharon for the last 19 years? Tracy-Ann teases that there will be a lot of emotions involved when these two strong women finally meet again. Love, jealousy, hatred, and passion are just some of the feelings that will be explored during their reunion.
Fans will remember how Chrissie murdered Den in The Queen Vic all those years ago, and then let Zoe Slater take the blame for it. She even went as far as implicating Sam Mitchell in the cover-up. Eventually, she was arrested while trying to flee the country with Jake Moon, and Sharon helped bring her to justice. The two used to be close, but Chrissie's actions tore them apart.
Tracy-Ann also reveals that her character has changed since we last saw her. She has "risen to the top" in prison and has become a powerful figure among the inmates. But she hasn't softened, in fact, she's only gotten tougher while trying to survive behind bars. And with the Mitchells still having a hold on the outside world, Chrissie has to stay on her toes.
Reuniting with Letitia Dean, who plays Sharon, was a joy for Tracy-Ann. The two have a great chemistry on set, and they both worked hard to make their scenes together as intense as possible. It's clear that they have a strong bond and enjoy working together.
