EastEnders’ Keanu Taylor is NOT dead insist fans after Louise Mitchell tries to get him killed

EASTENDERS fans were left in shock tonight as Keanu Taylor was dragged away and shot - with the help of his furious girlfriend Louise Mitchell.

However, many were convinced he is still alive after an explosive Christmas episode, believing he and Martin faked his death.

One viewer insisted: "The video that was shown to Ben was faked (Martin fired a shot to the side of Keanu and Keanu pretended to die by falling over) so it’s a double bluff."

Another tweeted: "I don't think Keanu's dead. I think it's been faked. Martin's the real G."

Viewers tonight saw Louise leading Keanu to believe she would forgive him for cheating with Sharon Mitchell, gushing: "You're the father of my child, I'm not having anything happen to you."

However, just before they made a run for it, Martin hauled him away, supposedly to be killed.

But before he did, she told him icily: "Never, ever take a Mitchell for a fool."

His demise was heralded from the start, with Ben telling dad Phil Mitchell: "Keanu Taylor won't make it to the mince pies."

Nodding, the hulking hardman replied: "And then I'll deal with Sharon."

He later left his wife reeling when he stormed into the kitchen and roared: "You can stop laying the table, because no one's coming" - then telling her he knew what she'd been up to.

Meanwhile, across the Square, Louise asked Keanu: "Are you the father of Sharon's baby?" to which he replied: "Yes."

He pleaded for mercy, telling her: "I love you, Lou. You're the only one I want. I want to be your husband."

Seemingly full of forgiveness, she agreed to skip Walford, telling Keanu: "Let's do it - let's go."

They kissed, with her insisting: "You're the father of my child, I'm not having anything happen to you."

But it turned out she had been playing him all along, when Martin Fowler appeared at the window on the orders of Ben Mitchell.

She said: "Never, ever take a Mitchell for a fool" before opening the door and walking away while Keanu was drugged and kidnapped.

Martin later reported back to Ben with a video appearing to show Keanu being shot - but how real it is? According to many fans - not at all.
