EastEnders icon 'to return' as fans predict shock prison twist for Keanu murder
EastEnders fans are speculating that a beloved character could be heading for jail in an unexpected murder plot twist.
One fan even suggested this could pave the way for the return of a former villain, following news that a cast member is set to reprise their role after a long absence.
A recent trailer for upcoming episodes of the BBC soap hinted at Dean Wicks (played by Matt Di Angelo) facing trial during Keanu Taylor's (Danny Walters) murder case.
The Six, who have been at the centre of the drama, find their secrets under threat, eight months after Keanu's murder.
Linda killed Keanu to protect Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) on Christmas Day and the women concealed the crime by burying Keanu's body.
When the body was discovered, the women, with the assistance of a few residents who knew the truth, continued to hide their crimes.
Dean was subsequently framed for the murder as he caused problems for several residents and has been in jail ever since.
In the trailer, Dean can be heard proclaiming his innocence while the guilty women attend court to learn his fate.
As they confront the possibility of their guilt being exposed, it all hinges on whether Dean will be imprisoned or released as he departs from the show, reports the Mirror.
However, a new theory suggests that he might be set free and someone else could end up behind bars. Viewers believe that neither Dean nor killer Linda will be the ones sent to prison, suggesting that one of The Six might confess.
As speculation mounts over a dramatic twist in EastEnders, fans reckon that Sharon could end up behind bars for Keanu's murder, setting the stage for an electrifying encounter with Chrissie Watts (Tracy-Ann Oberman) years after Chrissie's notorious deed.
The rumour mill is churning with theories about Sharon getting framed or even taking the fall to protect Linda, propelling Sharon and Chrissie into a sensational reunion in prison.
Over on X, viewers are dishing out their thoughts, with one saying: "What if the twist is Sharon says SHE killed Keanu to save Linda and gets locked up, which causes Kathy to have a breakdown... because she feels like she's broken her promise to Angie?"
Meanwhile, another adds to the frenzy: "Omg, what if Sharon goes to jail and Chrissie is there."
Commenting on the trailer, one fan wrote: "I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS."
Someone else added "Omg I am so excited this is going to be incredible i just know it roll on the drama!!!!!!"
"Finally a reason actually worth watching! The Six are back as the main focus," said another fan.
EastEnders is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
