Despite initially agreeing to flee the country together, Mel’s best friend Lisa Fowler (Lucy Benjamin) decided she had to put her daughter first.
Mel planned to expose Sharon in similar circumstances to her affair with Phil when she was married to Grant Mitchell (Ross Kemp).
But, as Sharon raced to the airport to find Phil before Mel could, the club owner was tragically injured in a car accident.
The heavily pregnant matriarch rescued Mel from her car wreck but the grieving mother walked into oncoming traffic as she believed she could hear her son’s voice.
