Sharon Watts has received unlikely help from Phil Mitchell following Jada Lennox's apparent exit from Walford in EastEnders.

Sharon was horrified earlier this week when Jada ran off with Alyssa after she'd asked her to sign over custody of the child.

In Tuesday's (November 30) episode, Sharon was desperate to find baby Alyssa, and Jada, before they were able to get too far away from Walford.

Zack also wanted to make things right for inadvertently convincing Jada to run away with the baby after admitting the reduced role she'd play in the child's life if she signed away custody.

Jada did return, but only to insist that she no longer wanted Sharon's help or her money because she'd been asked to essentially give up her child.

"I'm sorry for bringing her into your life," Jada told Sharon. "And, I'm sorry, but you're never going to see her again!"

With Sharon heartbroken over Jada's threat, it was her ex-husband Phil Mitchell who surprisingly offered to lend a helping hand to find her granddaughter.

"I feel like I'm losing [Denny] all over again," Sharon admitted. "Sometimes, I think of him, but I can't believe I'll never hold him again or see him.

"But that little girl, she's my last link I have to him. Please don't let her take that away from me, Phil."

Phil then vowed: "We are not losing anyone else! I'm gonna bring this little girl back."

Can Phil find Alyssa, or have viewers actually seen the last of the child and mum Jada in Albert Square?
