One of the most prominent aspects of EastEnders over the years has been the conflict between the show's two greatest families, the Watts and Mitchells, even becoming the subject of a special EastEnders Revealed, entitled "Blood Feud: The Watts vs. The Mitchells". The familial contention is rooted in Sharon's tempestuous relationship with the Mitchell brothers Grant (Ross Kemp) and Phil (Steve McFadden), which began after Den's disappearance and the departure of Angie. After the breakdown of her marriage to Grant, Sharon's position became untenable: Grant was capable of violence towards her, and his loud-mouth mother Peggy (Barbara Windsor) was constantly hounding her. The last of the Watts left in 1995, and the Mitchells took over The Queen Vic.
