EastEnders fans convinced Keanu Taylor will be murdered on 35th anniversary after actor Danny Walters returns

EASTENDERS fans are convinced Keanu Taylor is going to be murdered after his shock return was revealed.

The mechanic - who is played by actor Danny Walters in the BBC soap - fled the country over Christmas after convincing a murderous Martin Fowler and Linda Carter to help him fake his death.

And while viewers were sure he was gone for good, filming pictures have shown actor Danny back filming for the big 35th anniversary episodes.

The Sun exclusively revealed earlier this week how a death would rock Walford during the Thames celebration for the Queen Vic winning the Best Pub competition.

And with Keanu now confirmed to be there - and covered in blood and cuts, fans are convinced he will die for real this time - just as his baby with Sharon is being born.

One wrote: "My guess is Keanu comes back only to be killed off for real!??!! #Eastenders"

A second said: "At this stage I think Keanu is back, but to die for real."

Another added: "He will be the death Ben will finally kill him and he will fall in the Thames. Then Linda and Martin will be found out that they faked his death and Phil wants revenge."

The Sun revealed how a major character will be killed in the special week of episodes that will focus on the one day.

A source said: "Trouble has been brewing in Walford for a while, and they decided it was the perfect occasion to see off a big name.

"It’s thought that as part of the dramatic scenes Sharon will give birth on the boat, but she is just one of many who could see themselves go overboard to an icy, watery death."

The week’s episodes, which will air in the third week of February, will focus on 24 hours as the guests board the ferry and begin to celebrate.
