EastEnders fans have expressed a slight disgust at what they see as a slightly inappropriate relationship. They’re grossed out by Sharon Watts (played by Letitia Dean) and Keanu Taylor (played by Danny Walters) being together despite a 24 year age gap. The two initially crossed paths when they had an affair four years ago when Keanu was just 19.
Despite their love being kept a secret, they conceived a child, Albie. One creeped-out fan wrote: “Sharon and Keanu are in an actual relationship and I don't understand why more people aren't calling it out for being messed up. Sharon turns 54 later this year and Keanu turns 24.

I really wish they didn’t make Keanu 19 when they started this because the fact that the show expects us the root for these two is insane. There would have been absolute uproar if one of the older characters like Ian or Phil had a child with a 19 year old.
”“Yes, just because it’s legal doesn’t mean it’s right. Like if he was a bit older, like 25+ yeah okay but under 25 years old, gives me the ick,” wrote a second. But not everyone is convinced that the relationship’s odd.
One avid defender of the age gap wrote: “Nah, what’s weirder is this recent obsession this upcoming generation have with age gaps in relationships. “Two consenting adults, how tf is it more weird now than it was when he was 19 and having an affair? It happens in real life, alot. Do you know many of your grandparents likely had huge gaps in their age? I find the hysteria weirder.
