EastEnders fans say Keanu's Christmas death 'sealed' after Sharon twist

EastEnders viewers believe a recent scene may have sealed the fate of a character on the BBC soap, ahead of a Christmas murder.

Keanu Taylor is now tipped to be the mystery person killed later this year, after a twist that aired this week. Keanu is yet to discover a huge betrayal by someone close to him, and someone linked to this Christmas plot ahead.

Fans are now convinced Keanu will learn the truth and it could lead to him taking action, resulting in him possibly dying on Christmas Day. A mystery male character will be killed off in the scenes, with six women are stood close to a dead body, with him declared dead at the scene of the crime.

This was shown in a special flashforward clip in February confirming a death this Christmas. Keanu's fiancée Sharon Watts is one of the women, alongside Stacey Slater, Kathy Beale, Suki Panesar, Denise Fox and Linda Carter.

Another huge clue is that in the clip, Sharon was wearing a wedding dress - suggesting she will marry someone on this day. Keanu is tipped to be the groom following their engagement - but could Sharon's recent betrayal mean this won't be the case?

In episodes that aired this week, Keanu sought legal advice after Lisa Fowler tried to flee with his daughter Peggy after their recent returns to Walford. Keanu hadn't seen his daughter since she was born as Louise Mitchell, Peggy's mother, fled to Portugal with her in 2020 after Keanu faked his death.

This week Keanu hid Lisa and Peggy's passports to stop them leaving, trying to get access to his daughter. He was prepared to take things further to ensure Lisa would not be allowed to take Peggy back to Portugal.

What he didn't know though was that Sharon was helping Lisa with the aid of Martin Fowler. Lisa said Peggy needed to be back with her mum, and they'd never been apart for this long before.

Lisa urged Sharon to hand over the missing passports and let her leave, for Peggy's sake. It seems she agreed, as Lisa was shown climbing into a cab with Peggy and fleeing Walford.

Keanu screamed at her to wait but it was too late. As Keanu sobbed, Sharon confessed to Martin that they had done the right thing, with Martin making it clear that they both were involved. Sharon claimed it was the best thing for him and Peggy, but he could never find out the truth that she was the reason his daughter left.

Now, fans believe Keanu will find out everything and could turn nasty, possibly leading to Sharon being in danger. Viewers have theorised that this will result in Keanu's death this Christmas.

One viewer tweeted: "The closer it gets, the more I think Keanu is the body at Xmas," as a second agreed: "Hmmm maybe Keanu gets violent close to Christmas on his and Sharon's wedding day and ends up in the pub." A third fan tweeted: "If Keanu is the dead body, maybe he will find out about Sharon plan after the reception, and then he tries to attack her. Just one theory."

EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
