EastEnders’ Danny Walters lets slip 'EXPLOSIVE' Christmas episode details
His bosses aren't going to be too pleased...
Last updated 9th Oct 2019
EastEnders actor Danny Walters has been teasing what's to come on the soap's annual Christmas Day episode, suggesting Keanu Taylor and Sharon Mitchell's affair will be revealed.
Danny said viewers will be in for a treat, as the episode is an "explosive classic", similar to that of when Max Branning and Stacey Fowler's affair was revealed.
Speaking to The Mirror, the actor said, "It's going to be explosive, like classic Christmas Day. There’s a lot of involvement of the Keanu and Sharon storyline.
"And it’s been going for a while, the Sheanu storyline and you see different elements to the relationship - when he’s been tied to the bed with pink fluffy handcuffs and you’ve seen him when he’s tied to a warehouse, threatened with death."
Claiming he doesn't know the full storyline yet, Danny added, "I don’t know who it’s going to be revealed by but it’s going to be a very smart, clever… it might not be obvious, it could be something very subtle.
"It’s hard to say if there will be a death because I can’t say. But it’s… you would have thought that there is going to be some damage. There’s got to be some repercussions for the storyline."
Danny went on to joke that when Phil Mitchell finds out Sharon is carrying Keanu's baby, not his, the scenes will be dramatic, revealing, "Personally, I’ve been training a lot in the gym just in case!"
EastEnders boss Kate Oates has also teased the Christmas Day episode will be dramatic.
Last month, she revealed, "Much of it will circulate around a very complicated and messy love affair — so expect some major Sheanu drama as it all explodes - but we’ve got some twists and surprises in that story which last right through to New Year."
