Eastenders spoilers: Louise Mitchell’s baby could arrive in time for soap’s explosive Christmas episodes
EASTENDERS' Keanu Taylor has fallen into the unenviable position of having two Mitchell women pregnant at the same time.
His fiancée, Louise, and her step-mum, Sharon, are both expecting babies fathered by the hunky mechanic - with hard nut Phil Mitchell believing one is his. But when is Lou’s child due? Let’s find out…
When is Louise’s baby due in EastEnders?
Fans of the BBC One soap saw Louise discover she was pregnant back in April, which means her baby should be making an appearance around late December/January - or just in time for the big Christmas episodes.
When Lou revealed she was expecting, Keanu didn’t take the news too well and not long after, she ended up overhearing her dad, Phil, talking to her boyfriend about how he’d paid him to date his daughter.
A distraught Louise immediately broke things off with Keanu and booked herself in for a termination.
But she couldn’t go through with the procedure and soon, she and Keanu reunited, both excited about becoming first time parents.
Unknown to Louise however, a drunken Keanu had sought solace with his ex-lover Sharon during their brief split and it wasn’t long before she found herself taking a pregnancy test too.
When will Louise find out about Sharon and Keanu?
EastEnders boss Kate Oates has promised that the affair storyline will come exploding out over Christmas.
At the moment, Mel Owen is the only person who knows their sordid secret, but with her growing more and more erratic as she grieves for dead son Hunter, she could let it slip at any moment.
Danny Walters, who plays Keanu in the BBC soap, has also hinted that the secret will be out at Christmas.
at the Inside Soap Awards earlier this month, the 26-year-old actor said: “"It's going to be explosive, like classic Christmas Day. There’s a lot of involvement of the Keanu and Sharon storyline.
"And it’s been going for a while, the Sheanu storyline and you see different elements to the relationship - when he’s been tied to the bed with pink fluffy handcuffs and you’ve seen him when he’s tied to a warehouse, threatened [with death].”
He added: “I don’t know who it’s going to be revealed [by]but it’s going to be very smart, clever… it might not be obvious, it could be something very subtle."
The actor also admitted that Keanu could be in serious danger when Sharon's husband Phil learns that his wife has not only cheated, but that the baby she is carrying isn't his.
Danny said: "I think he’s been, for a while, having eyes in the back of his head. Personally, I’ve been training a lot in the gym just in case!"
