EastEnders christening chaos as Keanu arrested amid character's return

EastEnders aired some shocking scenes tonight as Albie's christening was thrown into chaos.

Keanu has been working alongside Ravi, moving his drugs for him in a bid to earn some extra cash. He was left gutted during tonight’s episode, when Zack and Martin surprised Albie with a remote control car set.

He had bought Albie a silver money box in the shape of a bear, but the little one didn’t seem too interested in the present, leaving Keanu deflated. In fact, he was much more excited by the car toy, with Bernie trying to reassure Keanu it wasn't just about presents.

It was that that forced his hand and made him decide to pick up another drugs shipment before he headed to the christening.

Just as the christening was concluding, there was a sound of an alarm outside, as both Keanu and Martin headed outside. Parked outside the church, he noticed it was coming from the van and as he jumped into the front to shut it off, he was quickly surrounded by the police as the lead detective questioned whether it was his vehicle or not.

As Sharon urged him not to answer, he panicked, knowing that there are drugs hidden in the white goods in the back of the van.

The police soon got to work at unscrewing the fronts of the machines, before realising there was drugs inside and quickly made a beeline to Keanu to ask him why there was a cocaine like substance in the van.

He was stunned, expecting it to just be cannabis, as the lead detective asked him: “Mr Taylor, can you explain why there’s what appears to be cocaine hidden in your van,” as Sharon jumped in and told her she was wrong.

Soon, he was arrested by the police in front of everyone as Karen shouted at the cops and Sharon just looked stunned.

Letitia Dean - who plays Sharon - recently admitted her character is completely shocked by Keanu getting mixed up in drugs.

" She’s completely flawed by the possibility that Keanu has been mixing with drugs. Sharon is no shrinking violet when it comes to crime, but she’s definitely disappointed as Keanu represented something that was so safe and detached from her former life, so this really rocks her and makes her reconsider everything," she revealed.

The episode also aired a return for Sharon's former flame, Duncan Boyd, played by David Gillespie.
