Over in EastEnders, Keanu Taylor made the decision to hotfoot it out of Walford last night. To be honest, we don’t blame him one bit.
The mechanic is being set up for a crime he didn’t commit, which is reason enough to want to escape the toxic Albert Square.

EastEnders: Keanu and Louise fled Walford
On Thursday (August 8), however, Keanu discovered the consequences of a crime he DID commit. He’d slept with his thug boss Phil’s wife Sharon has resulted in her pregnancy.
Another very good reason to get the hell out of town!
EastEnders fans were shocked when Keanu chose to flee – and Louise Mitchell, also pregnant with his child, made the tough decision to join him.
In an episode full of surprises, Keanu finally discovered he IS the father of Sharon’s baby, despite her insisting otherwise.

After seeing the DNA test results that prove Phil is not the father, Keanu was forced to come to terms with the fact he’s soon going to be a daddy of two.
And as the cops came looking for Keanu, armed with yet more evidence planted by a vengeful Ben, Keanu told Louise he had to disappear to avoid being sent to prison for something he didn’t do.
Although she initially vowed to stay with her family, she soon changed her mind. She then declared her love for Keanu at the station before leaving with him.
Fans stunned over dramatic exit
Shocked viewers wondered whether they’ll return, with Keanu looking guiltier than ever after doing a runner.
No !!!! Don’t leave @bbceastenders !!! @DannyWalters_ don’t go !!!

One cried: “No!!! Don’t leave!”
Another said: “Farewell Louise and Keanu, but will they be back?”
“I definitely didn’t expect Keanu to leave with Louise,” wrote a third.
How will Phil react when he discovers his pregnant daughter is on the run with the man accused of trying to kill him? Yikes!
Viewers know it was in fact Stacey Fowler who knocked Phil into a coma, when she discovered him throttling her husband Martin.
Some fans predict that Phil knows Keanu isn’t to blame, and will get his own payback on son Ben in future scenes…
We. Can’t. Wait.
