KEANU Taylor got one humdinger of a bombshell dropped on him by girlfriend Louise Mitchell in last night’s EastEnders.
In case you’ve been out of the soap loop, she told him that her step-mum, Sharon Mitchell, is pregnant.
It’s not only a shock for Keanu because Sharon’s almost 50-years-old, but because – up until recently – they were lovers too. They most recently hooked up a few weeks back when a drunken Keanu sought comfort in Shazza’s arms after being dumped by Louise.
Despite having just taken pregnant Louise to an abortion clinic, Sharon wasn’t thinking about her when she and Keanu had sex at The Arches.
In tonight’s episode Keanu – who’s played by Danny Walters – will confront Sharon, asking her about her pregnancy and if he could possibly be her unborn baby’s dad.
Sharon – Letitia Dean – will insist that there’s no way the child could be his and it’s definitely 100% her husband Phil’s, but is she telling the truth?
Not according to our EastEnders source who previously revealed: “There’s gonna be a ‘who’s the daddy?’ dilemma cos she romped with her toyboy lover Keanu last week so is he the dad or is Phil?
“Having discovered she’s pregnant Phil excitedly tells everyone their news, much to Sharon’s horror as she doesn’t know for sure who the dad is.”
And even though Sharon tries her best to convince the mechanic that Phil’s the daddy, Keanu decides he’s sick of living a lie and is going to tell Louise – who’s also pregnant with his baby – the truth, leaving Sharon rattled.
Later this week Keanu will find himself tied up in a warehouse after being kidnapped and fans are already speculating that it’s actually Shazza who does the kidnapping to try and keep Keanu quiet about their fling.
In the explosive summer trailer Keanu can be seen coming to in the building, while he is tied to a chair and blindfolded.
Assuming Phil is responsible, he screams for Phil to let him go.
But while that’s what Keanu thinks, fans have another theory – that Sharon is the one who has had him kidnapped to stop him spilling the secret that they enjoyed an affair for months behind Phil and Louise’s back.
With Louise pregnant, Keanu has been determined to be honest with her, and after discovering Sharon is also with child, he resolves himself into coming clean.
But with the thought of losing her family, Sharon is devastated by his actions and fans are convinced she will use her own shady underworld contacts to keep Keanu quiet.
One fan wrote: “I think Sharon will kidnap Keanu next week to stop him telling Louise about their affair. #eastenders”
Another added: “Sharon is definitely behind it. Phil’s too obvious.”
The Sun exclusively revealed last month how Phil will go on a “bloody rampage” when he discovers the truth about the affair.
