The actress hinted that things will take a sinister turn after she realises her son Dennis has been in touch with his grandfather.
That, in turn, will lead to a dangerous situation involving her, Kathy and Buster - and it seems there is a real danger of fatalities.
"All I will say is lives are at risk," the star told Radio Times.
"Gavin is a man on a mission and he is desperate, which is a really dangerous mix."

On her reaction to finding out at bout Dennis and Gavin's secret meetings, she teased: "She definitely doesn't realise the severity of the situation, but she's concerned about what Gavin has been saying to Dennis.
"Her worst nightmare is Gavin influencing Dennis and being a part of his life."
Letitia went on to say that she doubts Sharon and Gavin will ever have a genuine father-daughter relationship after all that's gone on.
"I honestly don’t know if Sharon and Gavin can recover from everything that’s happened," she said.

"But it’s unclear how Gavin feels about having a relationship with his daughter and grandson - is he just using them to get to Kathy? He is a difficult man to predict!"
Actor Paul Nicholas, who plays Gavin, has been touted as one of the soap's greatest villains of recent years.
EastEnders airs at 7:30pm on BBC One tonight.
