EastEnders fans predict a HUGE arrest twist after explosive Christmas Day murder: ‘He’s going to be found with the body!’

EastEnders fans have predicted a surprise character will be arrested for the murder of Keanu Taylor in a shocking plot twist.

Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) was murdered after being stabbed by Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) and Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) was attacked on Monday when EastEnders storyline The Six, first teased in February this year, saw a climax reached. .

Six of Walford's matriarchs; Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner), Suki Kaur Panesar (Balvinder Sopal), Linda Carter, Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), Denise Fox (Diane Parish) and Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) became embroiled in a series of events that led to Keanu's death.

During Tuesday's episode, the six ladies were seen at the Queen Vic wrapping Keanu's body in a tarpaulin and heavy duty tape before dragging him away to be buried under the floorboards of the burnt-out cafe.

So far, the Square is unaware of Keanu's unfortunate fate, but that could all change as it looks like Rocky Cotton (Brian Conley) could uncover the body.

At the end of Wednesday's episode, Rocky told his estranged partner Kathy Beale that he remembers seeing Sharon enter the cafe.

After passing out drunk in Albert Square on Boxing Day, Rocky told his estranged partner Kathy Beale at the end of Wednesday's episode: 'Kath, I remember what happened and what I saw last night.

'It was Sharon, I saw Sharon, I think she was helping Keanu, she was standing outside the cafe, in her wedding dress, and then she went in! Why would she do that? I think she's hiding something there, I'm going to find out!'

Fans now think Rocky will ultimately be blamed for the murder, especially after it was revealed in September that Brian is set to quit the soap.

On Twitter, now X, someone said: 'Rocky gets caught snooping around the cafe. He will be found with Keanu's body and sent down for his murder #EastEnders'.

A second suggested: 'I think #TheSix will have to get rid of Rocky somehow. #EastEnders'.

Another wrote: “They're going to frame poor Rocky #eastenders.”

Another added: 'Rocky's exit is imminent I think' and another said: 'Rocky better mind his business before he ends up next to Keanu. #EastEnders'.

Fans already feared Rocky would be charged with the murder after seeing The Six moments before they disposed of the body.

Rocky stumbled across the square to the pub, knocked on the back door and spoke to Linda, who quickly sent him on his way.

Still, it looks like Rocky will now be involved in the murder story whether he likes it or not.

In September it was revealed that Brian had resigned from the soap after cast members were denied pantomime roles the next year.

His firing has reportedly raised concerns that other cast members could also leave due to scheduling conflicts with the soap's 40th anniversary filming.

Brian and other stars of the soap receive lucrative six-figure earnings from their pantomime roles, but show managers have asked them to choose between these gigs and a return to Albert Square in 2024.

The soap, which is gearing up for its milestone 40th anniversary celebration in February 2025, aims to start filming from November – in the middle of the pantomime season.

A TV insider said this The sun For such a huge milestone for the soap, bosses need all the cast members involved so they can tell the storyline in the best possible way and ensure 'that level of drama for the audience'.

They added: 'There is a real buzz around the anniversary and plans are already in place to bring audiences some explosive storylines.

'February filming usually takes place before Christmas, so for those wanting to do a five-week run, this would mean the show won't be able to use them in their anniversary plans.'

An EastEnders source told MailOnline: 'The EastEnders cast take part in panto every year, but in the run-up to our milestone 40th anniversary, all cast members have been asked to be involved for storyline purposes – we haven't even received any complaints. everyone supported the plan.

'As Brian Conley previously stated earlier this week, EastEnders fully supports Brian's decision to leave at the end of his contract, and we wish him all the best for the future.'
