EastEnders fans call for Keanu to return as Danny Walters reunites with co-stars

The character waved goodbye to Walford last year

EastEnders fans have called for Keanu Taylor to return to the BBC One soap.

The much-loved character, who was played by Danny Walters, was last seen on the Square last year.

At the time, he said an emotional goodbye to his beloved mum Karen before departing from the soap for good.

However, it appears Danny still keeps in touch with his on-screen mum Lorraine Stanley.

Taking to Instagram yesterday, the actress shared a snap alongside her former co-star.

The pair were also joined by Toby-Alexander Smith, who plays Gray Atkins.

When was Danny Walters last on EastEnders?

Meanwhile, Danny, 27, quit EastEnders in November 2019 after two years.

Following his dramatic exit storyline, Keanu briefly returned to the soap last year to say goodbye.

He was forced to flee Walford after faking his own death when his affair with Sharon Mitchell was exposed.

However, Lorraine is desperate for him to return to Albert Square.

“We’ll stay in touch and I wish him really well – it was a loss for us Taylors. We’re all gutted he’s gone. We want him to do well, but we want him to come back.”

The 44-year-old actress also pointed out that Keanu wasn’t killed, meaning he could potentially return to the soap.
