BBC EastEnders Christmas murder victim confirmed as star drops huge hint

EastEnders star Danny Walters has hinted at a big secret being revealed just days before the shocking Christmas murder.

The actor, who plays Keanu Taylor, has also teased that his character might be the one to meet a tragic end this festive season.

The popular soap is gearing up for some intense drama with one character dying on Christmas Day, which is also set to be the date for Sharon and Keanu's upcoming wedding.

A number of potential names have been thrown into the mix, including Nish and Ravi Panesar, Dean Wicks, Jack Branning, and of course Keanu himself. But it remains to be seen who the Christmas victim will be.

The Mirror has reported that Danny has teased that it could be Keanu who's found dead at Christmas, with the actor opening up about the upcoming storyline, and Keanu's rather toxic relationship with Sharon.

He said: "I think with Keanu and Sharon, as we can see it's not a smooth relationship and probably is quite toxic at times. However, there is a deep lust and love for one and other. Unfortunately, external factors in their relationship always seem to create dramas."

He further explained Keanu's mindset following his faked kidnapping of Albie, saying: "I think in Keanu's head, he's trying to play the whole ignorance is bliss card, and he thinks 'what she doesn't know won't hurt her'. His original intention was to obtain his son, so in Keanu's mind he was always doing it for the greater good."

Defending Keanu's actions, Danny added: "He's not an evil character, he just makes really poor decisions and unfortunately his love for Albie took precedent. Keanu wants to hold on to this secret and never let it get revealed."

The actor shared: "I've always played the character as someone who makes poor choices along the way, and he's someone who doesn't think before his actions. He's very emotionally led.

"Keanu did feel completely, wholeheartedly guilty for the emotional damage that he had caused to Sharon through that process, and what transpires through it is that Keanu realises how much Sharon and Albie mean to him as a package and he doesn't want to let either of them go. From the whole ordeal he realises how much he loves Sharon."

And Keanu hasn't been the only one keeping a secret, with Sharon having recently discovered that ex-husband Phil Mitchell is Albie's biological father. Danny hinted that this secret might be revealed soon.

"I think if Keanu was to ever find out, his whole world would be crushed. It would be so devastating and heart-breaking," he said, teasing the dramatic Christmas episodes where one character will meet a shocking end.

When asked if Keanu will be the one to die this Christmas, he replied: "I think there are multiple characters that are potential players for the cufflinks. This is what's great about the storyline, there's so many players involved, and anyone attached to those six women, or maybe not even attached to those six women; it could be any of us."
