EastEnders' Keanu Taylor's secret is about to be revealed in a Christmas wedding shocker, with fans on the edge of their seats as Keanu will finally be exposed during the festive nuptials. Recently, Phil Mitchell spilled the beans about Karen Taylor and her son Keanu's kidnap plot to a shocked Sharon Watts.This happened while she and Keanu were celebrating their upcoming wedding at the Queen Vic on Christmas Day. Karen was caught out for planning to kidnap Sharon's son Albie and even made a fake ransom note for £50,000., but Sharon still doesn't know that Keanu was also involved in the plan.

EastEnders' Jack Branning might be the unlucky one to meet his end this Christmas, after his recent actions placed him directly at odds with three members of The Six. In the final scene before the big Christmas Day episode, a huge clue may have confirmed Jack's fate after he crossed paths with three of the six Christmas murder suspects, Denise Fox, Stacey Slater and Suki Panesar.

Since first arriving on our screens back in 2017 as EastEnders’ very own bad boy Keanu Taylor, actor Danny Walters has captivated fans with his cheeky charm and enviable good looks, with the deadly combination of both soon making him a big hit with the ladies.

As the final few days ahead of this year’s mysterious EastEnders Christmas murder plot narrow down the list of potential victims, fan favourite Jack Branning may soon find himself in the firing line after a sticky few weeks on the soap.

Danny managed to slim down from 16 stone to 12 stone through fitness and a healthy diet, achieving a toned look that fans of the soap are now familiar with, as reported by the Daily Mirror. He revealed during a recent chat on the My Time Capsule podcast that the incident happened while on holiday with his family.
