EastEnders fans stunned as Keanu ‘returns from the dead’ for revenge on Ben Mitchell – and targets Callum

EASTENDERS fans have been stunned after Keanu Taylor returned for revenge on Ben Mitchell – and asked Sharon Watts to run away with him.

The mechanic – who is played by actor Danny Walters in the BBC soap – faked his death over Christmas to escape Phil and Ben Mitchell’s plot to have him murdered for his affair with Sharon.

With half the Square thinking he is dead, including the police who think Phil did the deed, the other half know the true secret and think he is abroad in hiding.

However tonight Keanu made a shocking return to Walford – and he wants Sharon to leave with him for a new life abroad.

As Sharon waited for Linda to arrive at the Beale’s house, she was left shocked when the door rang and it wasn’t her mate she found – instead it was Keanu.

She told him he had to leave immediately or Ben would find out and finish the job he started.

Keanu told her: “I’m not going anywhere. Phil’s gone now. I’ve come back for you, for both of you. I want you to come away with me, now.”

Sharon looked shocked at his words but didn’t give him an immediate answer.

Actor Danny has teased that Keanu isn’t just back for Sharon – he’s also back to hurt Ben as much as possible.

He said: “Well Ben Mitchell has taken everything from Keanu, he even tried to get Keanu killed, so Keanu is back and he wants to put Ben through what he went through.

“Ben wanted Keanu dead, so Keanu’s hell bent on revenge of course, he wants to make him feel that he’s lost everything.

“It’s essentially like a game of chess, and to get to the King, which Keanu sees Ben as, he needs to go after the most precious thing to him, and that’s Callum…”

Fans were stunned by the shock with one saying: “KEANU AND SHARON! OMFG #EastEnders”
