Danny Walters, known for his role as Keanu Taylor on EastEnders, has revealed his feelings of deception after being forced to keep the identity of the Christmas Day murder victim a secret. The explosive episode saw Keanu Taylor meet a gory end at the hands of Linda Carter, played by Kellie Bright. Walters has now shared his experience of being part of one of the biggest soap storylines of the year.
A difficult secret to keep
Danny Walters admitted that keeping the secret about Keanu's fate was extremely challenging. He expressed feelings of deceitfulness towards his friends and family, having made numerous excuses to keep the secret hidden. However, he did confess that he had told a few select family members about Keanu's gruesome exit.
Evading the truth
Speaking to Metro ahead of the episode, Walters said, "A handful of my family members know. Let's just say I’ve been very evasive with the answers I’ve given my family, so most of them don’t know. I’m expecting lots of texts and calls on Christmas Day and tears from my nans!"
A long-awaited reveal
Fans had been speculating for almost a year about the identity of the murder victim, and it was finally unveiled that Keanu was the one to meet his demise. The revelation came in a flash-forward episode in February, leaving viewers shocked.
A surprising killer
Linda Carter, played by Kellie Bright, was revealed as the killer in a dramatic confrontation with Keanu and Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) in the Queen Vic. The shocking twist took fans by surprise.
Rocky's role
Following Keanu's murder, "The Six" attempted to hide his body but were almost interrupted by a drunken Rocky Cotton (Brian Conley). Many are now speculating whether Rocky will be framed for the murder, especially since the actor's exit from the show was confirmed earlier this year.
Fan theories
Twitter was abuzz with fan theories about Rocky's fate. One fan wondered if Rocky would be framed, while another speculated that he might be involved in the storyline. Another viewer suggested that Rocky would ultimately take the blame for Keanu's murder, serving as his exit from the show.
