He was set to marry the love of his life Sharon Watts on Christmas Day, but it all went horribly wrong when she learned he was beyond the kidnapping of her son Albie.

After being ditched at the alter in true soap style, Keanu pursed Sharon to the Queen Vic pub demanding to see his son.

When she told him Albie wasn't his, Keanu put his hands around her neck and strangled her.

Kellie Bright's character Linda Carter leaped to her best friend's defence and lunged a carving knife into his back, killing him instantly.

Following the dramatic and grizzly ending for Keanu, Danny Walters has broken his cover in public.

The actor was snapped in East London on Friday as he looked world's away from his character.

Danny could be seen picking up freshly laundered clothes as he sported a casual looked.

He wore a black jumper and matching shorts, Nike socks as well as a pair of adidas sliders.

Adding a splash of colour to his look, Danny donned a turquoise hat to cover his hair from the rain.

The star recently admitted he felt 'deceitful' about having to keep the result of the murder storyline under wraps.

He said: "It’s been extremely difficult! I feel like I’ve been very deceitful to my friends and my family and have made many excuses."
