EastEnders fans convinced Keanu is lying to Keeble in major twist

EASTENDERS viewers predict that enemies Keanu Taylor and Phil Mitchell are secretly working together to take down DCI Keeble.

Fans were left reeling after Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) made a shocking return to Walford after three years away from the BBC soap.

But why has he returned? And where has he been?

He was forced to flee Walford to escape the wrath of Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) following his fling with Phil’s wife Sharon (Letitia Dean).

He has a lot of unfinished business as Sharon has been parenting their son Albie.

But fans had their own theories to why Keanu has returned – and it is to do with Phil’s feud with DCI Keeble (Alison Newman).

Could he be secretly working with his enemy Phil to destroy Keeble?

Fans seem to think so as one said: “Wait so how exactly did Keanu supposedly even hear about Keeble’s plan to take down Phil given only him & Kat actually now the truth.

“What if it’s actually a double cross? Keanu working with Phil so Phil will put in a good word with Louise so he can see Peggy too?”

Another wrote: “My theory: Keanu is working for Phil to take down Keeble – how else would he know who she was? And she wouldn’t know who Keanu was or his connection to Phil #EastEnders”

A third penned: “Am I the only person who thinks Keanu is working with Phil, if ya think Phil wants freedom for him and billy and keanu wants to see baby Peggy, so could be a deal of if keanu helps Phil he lets him live and allows him to see his daughter.”

Keanu has already made an explosive comeback as a furious Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden) warned him that his dad would kill him if he were to find out that he’s back – but Keanu didn’t seem phased.

Meanwhile, a worried Karen questioned her son how he knew Phil was away and getting sent to prison.

She said: “You didn’t just come here to see us, did you? No, I ain’t that stupid.

“You’re down in Cornwall, you find out that Phil’s in prison and then you happen to find out that he ain’t around anymore.

“Someone’s keeping you up to speed. What are you up to?” 

Karen believes that there was an ulterior motive to his unexpected arrival – is she right?

A bombshell was revealed when Keanu met up with Keeble in an alleyway.

“I hear you’re looking to destroy Phil Mitchell. I want in,” he told her.

Is he double crossing her?
