Keanu Taylor makes huge mistake in EastEnders after row with Sharon Watts

DRAMA picks up a pace again for Keanu Taylor when Lisa Fowler shows up in Walford with his daughter Peggy.

Tensions arise between him and his fiancée Sharon Watts and, soon enough, he makes a bold and dangerous move in EastEnders.

Soap legend Lucy Benjamin is reprising her role in the BBC One show next week after three years away as Lisa Fowler comes back to Walford with a vengeance – and she’s not alone.

It all begins when Lisa arrives back in the Square with Peggy and the urge to make Keanu Taylor (played by Danny Walters) pay for what he did to her daughter Louise.

Regular fans of the London-based drama will remember that Keanu cheated on Louise with Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), fathering both of their babies around the same time, Albie and Peggy.

Keanu’s death was later staged as Ben Mitchell was hellbent on revenge and the hunk was filmed being threatened with a gun before seemingly being shot.

Martin Fowler and Linda Carter teamed up to make Keanu’s death look realistic and helped him run away from the vengeful Mitchells.

Soon after, Louise, Peggy and Lisa left Albert Square for Portugal, terrified of the repercussions of Keanu’s apparent death.

Next week, it’s evident that money’s a problem for Lisa when she runs off to avoid paying a cab fare.

She bumps into Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy), who invites her for a coffee, and she explains that things are rough in Portugal with Louise – the young mother has gone off the rails.

Meanwhile, Sharon is excited when Keanu offers to book the wedding venue of her dreams and gives him money for a deposit.

After an awkward run-in with former flame Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden), Lisa plans to lie low until she can confront Keanu.

Her plan is foiled when Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman) lets slip that Lisa and Peggy are in town.

Keanu rushes over to see his daughter and is determined to put things right but he’s completely unprepared for Lisa’s financial demands.

Later on, Sharon and Keanu excitedly prepare to introduce their son Albie to Peggy.

Phil can’t believe Lisa is letting Keanu anywhere near their granddaughter.

Sharon is disappointed to hear there was a problem with Keanu’s bank transfer, and the venue has let their date go.

Keanu then quizzes Reiss about how to get money out of Taylor’s Autos fast as he needs cash.

After a lovely visit with Peggy, Keanu asks Lisa if he can spend more time with her.

He’s horrified when Lisa lays out her financial demands, and he turns to Reiss for help again.

Unfortunately for him, Sharon isn’t happy about Keanu’s attitude to money and she decides to blindside him.

Keanu is hurt and angry that she doesn’t trust him, but Sharon’s adamant that she must protect herself.

This only leads him to resolve to get his own money.

But no bad deed can go unnoticed in the Square and the consequences of Keanu’s actions quickly begin.

But Lisa Fowler is keeping a secret of her own which quickly unravels after Phil and Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) confront her.

What could it be?

EastEnders airs from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
