CONFRONTATION is ahead for Keanu Taylor as Lisa Fowler returns to Walford with his daughter Peggy.
The character played by Lucy Benjamin is soon asking him for money and her true motives slowly unravel next week in EastEnders.

But she returns to Walford with her granddaughter Peggy
Keanu is finally reunited with the little girl – but something isn’t quite right
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.
However, not everything is as it seems with Lisa, as it so often is in EastEnders.
Lisa’s true motivations for asking so much money from Keanu are rumbled in later scenes and Phil goes on a mission to figure them out.
The pair have a tense conversation about Louise which prompts him to become convinced convinced Lisa is hiding something.
He is also unimpressed that she’s spent hours in The Vic with the young Peggy.
Lisa, Phil and Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) have a big row over what she’s really up to, leading to her flouncing out with Peggy.
Unintimated by Lisa, Kat advises Phil to call the police.
But what is Lisa hiding?
EastEnders airs from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
