EastEnders spoilers: Mitchells crumble as they cover up Keanu Taylor's murder

EastEnders the Mitchell family fall apart as they begin to conceal Keanu Taylor's murder.

In recent episodes, the family learnt how Keanu had an affair with Sharon Mitchell.

And viewers were left gasping at the soap's shocking Christmas Day twist as Keanu appeared to be shot dead by Martin Fowler when the truth about his affair came to light.

As more twists arise, Louise may have exposed the real truth on Keanu's death when she becomes uncomfortable when Karen, her fiancé's mum, pays a visit - suggesting she feels some kind of guilt for what had happened to Keanu.

Covering up speculation of what really happened to Keanu - Ben and Louise argue as she scolds him for talking about Sharon again.

However tensions begin to rise as he has some harsh words for his sister.

Meanwhile Karen and Billy face a lot of pressure as she tests him on the affair, before a shocked Jay finds out.

But things begin to tear apart when he reminds Billy of his loyalties, leaving Karen disappointed by her boyfriend's actions.

Previous episodes tell how Sharon and Keanu had an affair last year and slept together again just months ago, with her falling pregnant.

Phil Mitchell learned on Christmas Eve that Keanu was the mystery man of wife Sharon, with him also finding out Keanu was the father of Sharon's baby.

All hell broke loose on Christmas Day, as Ben Mitchell plotted revenge and blackmailed Martin into killing him.

However EastEnders fans are convinced Keanu isn't dead and they've been sharing some wild conspiracy theories online.

As well as being convinced that Keanu is alive, many fans think Louise actually helped him get away.

One tweeted: "I kind of hope that Keanu isn’t dead, Louise is just playing along with it all and is really going to run off with him #EastEnders ."

The weirdest conspiracy theory is that Linda Carter is the real killer. The alcoholic pub landlady went missing on Christmas Day after a booze binger landed her in hospital.

One wrote: "Sshe was that drunk she doesn't remember the night... You heard it here first #EastEnders ."

This one looks like it might have the most credibility - Keanu was desperate to save his own life so her persuaded Martin to create an elaborate plot to fake his own death.

Martin didn't really want to kill him anyway, so they filmed the video together and effectively faked the shooting.

It would have allowed Keanu to get away and let Martin off the hook without having to shoot anyone.
