EastEnders aired a shocking Christmas twist tonight - as Keanu and Sharon look on the verge of splitting up.

We know this Christmas that one male will die in a shock twist, with the six women - Denise (Diane Parish), Kathy (Gillian Taylforth), Linda (Kellie Bright), Sharon (Letitia Dean), Stacey (Lacey Turner) and Suki (Balvinder Sopal) - all having something to do with it. We don't know what's happened just yet - whether he's been murdered or he died in some horror accident.

Keanu has been struggling since Lisa's arrival. She had brought Peggy with her, taking her away from Louise who had absolutely no idea where she was. Her plan was to get money off Keanu for 'child maintenance' but she used it to feed her gambling addiction.

Tonight, Keanu learned of Sharon's betrayal and how she had helped Lisa to escape the country. With Peggy out of the country, it now means that they can't go through UK courts and have to instead go through the Portugal legal system, making the order that Keanu had obtained completely pointless as it was only valid to be used as a part of the UK legal system.

Martin also got caught up with it all, because he had told Keanu it was him who gave the passports to Lisa, rather than it actually being anything to do with Sharon. Martin said he would lie for her to protect their relationship, joking one of them should be happy.

He called out their betrayal, in what was a seeming nod to the 1994 storyline Sharongate, where Sharon's betrayal of her husband with Phil was made public to all when a tape was played in the Queen Vic.

Now it looks like things could be on the rocks for the couple, who are expected to get married this Christmas. Sharon is seen in a wedding dress this festive period, with fans assuming she will be marrying Keanu.

Things could all change though after some tense scenes between the pair and there's a chance they could end up splitting up, making fans wonder what might happen if that is the case, and who she might be marrying instead.

"Is this the beginning of the end for Sheanu? #Eastenders Also brilliant writing in tonight’s ep," one wrote, as a second added: "he Corpse might be Keanu #EastEnders Though it should be Sharon if its either of them What a Traitor."

A third added: "Not that I think Keanu's the Christmas day victim at ALL but I think this character assassination is to line him up as a potential victim #EastEnders."
