EastEnders fans want a Sharon and Chrissie spin-off show

EastEnders fans are absolutely loving Sharon and Chrissie’s prison scenes. Dozens of soap viewers have been pleading to see more of the iconic duo while they’re in jail together.

There’s been plenty of calls for a Sharon and Chrissie spin-off show, with EastEnders fans eager to know more about the pair’s prison stint.

“Sharon x Chrissie spin-off is needed EastEnders – I need to know Dor’s backstory, I need to know who does Chrissie’s glam in her cell everyday. I need MORE!,” one fan wrote on social media, while a second agreed, adding: “Can we keep Sharon and Chrissie in prison and give them their own spin-off series? It’s like Bad Girls all over again.”

“I can’t cope with one episode of EastEnders a day, I need a feature length director’s cut of Sharon and Chrissie’s time in prison,” another wrote. A final fan penned: “Ok we need ‘Chrissie & Sharon’ – ‘the prison stay’ extended into a full on spin-off show before they both return to EastEnders – however many eps of this they’ve shot it will never be enough.”
