EastEnders filming photos ‘confirm’ the return of a major character

He’s baaaaack. Well, maybe.

Eastenders filming photos appear to have confirmed the return of Keanu Taylor.

Earlier this month, Keanu fled Albert Square after Linda Carter and Martin Fowler helped him fake his death. And while he previously seemed to hint at returning one day to seek revenge against the Mitchells, it looks like that day has arrived – and a lot sooner than we expected.

The soap is currently filming its 35th anniversary episodes, which are set to see a major character killed after they fall off a party boat and into the Thames.

And as the night shoots continued earlier this week, Danny Walters – who plays Keanu – was spotted filming with some of the other cast members. Photo obtained by the Daily Mail show Keanu with blood on his face – although it’s not clear who he has been fighting with, or what happened to him.

EastEnders is set to bring some serious drama to celebrate its 35th anniversary next month, as one character will lose their life during a celebration on the Thames.

the tragedy will strike after Mick and Linda Carter throw a party on a boat after winning a major contest, with one character falling off the vessel and drowning.

The characters who are said to be at risk include Sharon Mitchell, Mick Carter and Ian Beale. The episodes – which are set to air in late February, according to the publication – will focus on the 24 hours as the guests board the party boat.

“Where better place for a major death than on the Thames itself, which is so central to the show,” an insider told The Sun. “Trouble has been brewing in Walford for a while, and they decided it was the perfect occasion to see off a big name.”
