Storylines[]
2021-2022[]
Alyssa was left on Sharon Watts' doorstep at Number 29 and she has no idea who she is, nor did Sharon know who the baby's mother was at the time. All she knew about the baby was written on a note attached to the pram which said “Alyssa is yours. Please take care of her. I can’t do this anymore”. At first she believe that her half-brother Zack Hudson is the father as he is known for sleeping around, so he does a DNA test. However, their friend Martin Fowler later believes he could be the father as he also slept around after his break-up from his wife, Stacey Fowler. It was then both Zack and Martin both do a DNA test and on 8 November 2021, they get the results. Neither Martin or Zack are the father of Alyssa, leaving them to question who it could be; however, on their way home Sharon tells them someone has just knocked on the door to give back Alyssa's teddy that fell. Zack sees Jada and chases after her, with Sharon following. They try to get answers out of her and she tells a shocked Sharon that her deceased son, Denny, is the father - but she didn’t have a chance to introduce Denny to their daughter due to his death. Sharon gets a DNA test it comes back that Jada was telling the truth and Alyssa is in fact Denny’s daughter. After Sharon and Jada sort things out, they agree to apply for joint custody of Alyssa. With the help of her ex husband Phil Mitchell, Sharon decides to go for full custody of Alyssa. After Zack tells Jada about this, Jada takes Alyssa on the run but after a while Zack convinces Jada to return, and she and Alyssa move in with Zack, Sharon, Martin and Sharon’s son Albie Watts.
When Linda Carter moves in with the Watts' household after her return, Zack, Martin and Jada are all against it due to Linda being a recovering alcoholic and Alyssa, Albie and Annie Carter living there. When Jada is blackmailed by Janine Butcher over this, she plants empty bottles around the house and calls social services. When the guilt gets too much for Jada, she takes Alyssa to live with her at her great-aunts
Alyssa returns with Jada for Christmas dinner at Sharon’s, but returns to her great-aunts after this.
