EastEnders’ Linda Carter was Keanu Taylor’s real killer say fans who think Martin forced her to shoot him
EASTENDERS fans have insisted Linda Carter is Keanu Taylor's real killer after she disappeared on a booze bender during the explosive Christmas episode.
Many viewers believe Martin Fowler found the Queen Vic landlady and forced HER to pull the trigger - as she returned tonight with a black eye and blood on her shoe.
Christmas Day’s explosive episode saw Martin drug and kidnap the lad on the orders of Ben Mitchell after his affair with Phil’s wife Sharon.
But viewers increasingly believe Mick Carter's wife was the one who actually carried out the murder, with one tweeting: "Fully think Martin got Linda to kill Keanu 🤔."
Another wrote: "Omg, Martin definitely forced vulnerable, drunk Linda to shoot and kill Keanu and if that isn't what we are going to find out on the New Year's Day flashback episode then I don't want to know."
A third posted: "Yeah Martin found Linda and forced her to shoot Keanu."
One other speculated: "Linda definitely knows about Keanu she either killed him or is a witness."
Christmas Day's episode concluded with Martin showing the assassination's mastermind Ben Mitchell a video of Keanu being shot in some shaky mobile phone footage.
However, the person wielding the gun was never shown.
Meanwhile, while Linda was seen escaping from hospital and going on a vodka binge, nothing of what else she got up to in the intervening hours was aired.
Viewers will have to wait some time to learn what the real truth is, as a special New Year's episode is set to reveal what actually happened at Christmas in a series of flashbacks.
Whatever the truth is, Martin has taken the situation badly, being seen staggering around the Square and telling wife Sonia he's not a "good man".
Last night, he snapped: "No I’m not, not any more. You’ve got to stop thinking that.”
