Keanu Taylor exposed as Albie’s kidnapper on his wedding day in shock EastEnders spoilers
CHRISTMAS is on its way to Albert Square and promises a multitude of twists and turns ahead of a captivating whodunnit.
Keanu Taylor faces the consequences of staging Albie’s kidnap. But what’s next for the hunk in EastEnders?
Karen Taylor was splashing the cash all around Albert Square in recent scenes of the BBC One soap, after years of struggling to make ends meet.
This caused suspicions to emerge as it became clear her sudden windfall may have been hiding something sinister.
Phil Mitchell (played by Steve McFadden) was able to get to the bottom of things quickly as he realised Karen had been involved in Albie Watts’ kidnapping ordeal and pocketed the ransom money asked for the boy’s safe return home.
The Walford tough man was rightly convinced her son Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) was also involved but once he confronted the pair in The Vic, Karen took the fall for her son and fled the Square before it was too late.
Since then, Keanu has been able to remain by his fiancée Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) who is completely unaware of how far he went to punish her for even considering taking Albie to Abu Dhabi with her.
And while Keanu thinks his secret is safe, his sister Bernie decides honesty is the best policy as she’s left living in squalor following Karen’s departure.
Coming up, Bernie Taylor (Clair Norris) tries to put on a brave face as she wakes up alone in No.23B with no electricity or heating.
But after an emotional call with her mother, she pleads with Keanu to speak to Sharon so that Karen can finally come home.
Keanu categorically refuses and uninvites Bernie to the wedding as he begins to fear that his involvement in Albie’s kidnap will come to light.
Bernie is prompted to finally expose Keanu in the hopes of saving her mother Karen from Sharon and Phil’s well-known dangerous wrath.
Plucking up the courage, Bernie heads to No.55 to interrupt the Mitchell’s raucous Christmas lunch and she demands an audience with Phil.
Later on, Christmas fever is in full swing as the residents of Walford settle down for a day of festivities.
Sharon and Keanu get ready for their wedding day at No.43 with Zack Hudson (James Farrar) and Martin Fowler (James Bye).
Unbeknownst to anybody, Sharon tries to mask her guilt as she continues to keep a massive secret about her son Albie’s paternity.
Later, at the church, Sharon is a vision in white as she walks down the aisle with Albie.
Sharon and Keanu are about to say “I do” before her ex-husband Phil Mitchell arrives with a huge bombshell of his own after speaking with Bernie.
Soon enough, Keanu has to face the aftermath of his own actions – what will Sharon do?
In other scenes, Denise Fox (Diane Parish), Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth), Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), Sharon, Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) and Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) seek solace as they all try to process the events of the day.
But in a flash, their lives are permanently changed forever as one man meets his end in the Queen Vic.
Could it be Keanu as payback for scamming Phil and Sharon?
Could it be Phil himself as the possibility of Keanu getting revenge on him remains on the table?
EastEnders airs from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
