WITH baby Albie’s christening on the horizon, Keanu Taylor has resorted to dangerous business with Ravi Gulati.
It all spirals out of control when the EastEnders hunk played by Danny Walters is attacked and left for dead next week.
Keanu Taylor is desperate for cash
His son Albie’s christening is next week
But he gets in huge trouble with the law
Keanu Taylor has accepted a job from Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) in hopes to make money for Albie’s christening.
But Keanu may have bitten off more than he can chew by getting involved with the Walford gangster.
On the morning of Albie’s christening, Ravi reminds Keanu that there’s big money on the table for the delivery job.
Keanu is conflicted until he gets his nose put out of joint by the flash present Martin Fowler (James Bye) and Zack Hudson (James Farrar) have bought Albie.
He soon makes an excuse to slope off and meet them at the church as Ravi gives him the details for the job.
Keanu learns he’ll be transporting drugs in white goods but delays soon make him late for the christening, prompting him to park outside and rush into the church.
Matters go from bad to worse for him when the van alarm goes off and Keanu rushes outside to check with Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) in tow.
Unfortunately for him, the police are also waiting to see what is happening and Keanu is arrested on the spot for intent to supply, leaving Sharon reeling in shock.
Keanu’s mother Karen Taylor (Lorraine Stanley) pleads with Sharon to do something as he remains at the police station.
The EastEnders stalwart eventually calls a solicitor as Karen insists to everyone her son would never go anywhere near drugs.
Back at The Vic, both her and Sharon defend Keanu with a panicked Ravi overhearing them.
Keanu finally calls Sharon and pleads his innocence – but DS Barnes soon offers him a way out if he’s willing to rat on his bosses.
All hell breaks loose when he arrives at The Vic and Ravi collars him, demanding to know if he grassed them up.
Keanu swears he kept quiet but Ravi isn’t willing to hear him out.
The criminal makes a secretive phone call… and catches up with Keanu to take revenge.
An ambulance is called when Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) finds Keanu and a distraught Sharon gets to the scene.
Sharon’s mind races while in the hospital waiting room and she speculates that Ravi is responsible for it all but Phil isn’t as convinced.
When Karen arrives, she tears a strip off Sharon for forcing Keanu to turn to a life of crime to keep up.
Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) then spots a confrontation between Ravi and a vengeful Sharon, leading him to realise his son is the attacker.
Sharon threatens to report Ravi to the police – could Nish intervene?
Is Ravi really to blame?
Will Keanu survive his attack?
EastEnders airs from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
