EastEnders - keanu - 18th July

EastEnders is one of the longest-running soap operas, filled with several emotions, be it heartbreak, betrayal, love, or thrilling murder mysteries. One of the most integral storylines of 2023 was Christmas Day, when Keanu Taylor was killed off on the show.

Following this, fans started to speculate who the real murderer was, and it was later revealed that he was The Six’s victim. Keanu actor Danny Walters opened up about his iconic death and how it affected his co-stars. Read on to find out what happened.

Viewers of the BBC One soap tend to get attached to their favourite characters on the soap.

For a brief instance, we also thought that Nish Panesar might have died, but it was later revealed that Linda Carter killed Keanu with the help of The Six.

This iconic death caught everyone by surprise and affected many other cast members of the soap. Keanu actor Danny Walters recently spoke to Metro.co.uk about his departure and recalled getting a call from Letitia Dean (Sharon Watts). Walter said, ‘I had Letitia Dean call me crying down the phone, and she was gutted that I was leaving.’ The actor also highlighted that Keanu and Sharon had many memorable scenes, which may be why she was upset. 

‘It was difficult, because I’m saying goodbye not only to my character, but I’m saying goodbye to friends, colleagues and cast and crew members,’ he added. Furthermore, Danny explained how he was very entertained with theories after fans speculated the identity of the killer. 

He said, ‘I think my favourite theory, I read somewhere that someone thought that Phil Mitchell and Keanu would be an item. I don’t know where I read that, but I thought, “That’s quite interesting!” Because it’s like a love/hate relationship but they actually end up being lovers. Listen, if the fans wanted to see that, then that would have been an interesting theory! And then, obviously, Sharon would find out, and that was going to happen… There were so many theories!”
