Keanu Taylor and Sharon Watts (Danny Walters and Letitia Dean) have had a rocky relationship in EastEnders, but things finally seem to be on the up for them as they prepare to get married some time in the future.
Eager to get things organised for their nuptials, Keanu offers to book the wedding venue of their dreams, leaving Sharon completely thrilled, as actor Danny Walters revealed.
‘At the beginning of the block, you see the family image of Sharon, Keanu and Albie, and at the start of that, before Lisa and Peggy arrive on the Square, Keanu’s objective is to prove to Sharon that he’s serious about her, serious about their future, serious about the family. And so, speeding up the wedding and getting this dream wedding for her is his objective.
‘Then, as we all know in real life, weddings are never cheap anyway, so again, Keanu’s gone full steam ahead and gone, “Right, we’re going to get married, we’re going to have a dream wedding, dream venue, blah blah blah…”
‘Then Keanu realises that all of this does cost money! So, he does desperately ask Sharon to pay for it for now, while he works and tries to get money.’

Elated, she gives him the money, unaware that he is about to face an ultimatum as Lisa Fowler (Lucy Benjamin) arrives in Walford with Peggy in tow, as Danny explained.
‘She does give him the money to pay for the wedding, to pay for their dream venue, and unfortunately when Lisa and Peggy come back, he’s now got an ultimatum where he makes a decision whether he pays for the wedding venue or he sees his daughter again, because Lisa is blackmailing Keanu, and so she’s using Peggy as collateral really.
‘So, Keanu, being led by emotions, is really in a bit of a predicament of whether he pays towards the wedding, or pays to see his daughter again.’

After Keanu’s run in with Lisa, which sees her demanding money from him in exchange for spending time with Peggy, Sharon is left disappointed to learn that there was a problem with Keanu’s bank transfer and, as a result, they’ve lost the venue.
With Lisa still on his case about her blackmail money, Keanu faces tension with Sharon, who isn’t happy about his attitude towards money and blindsides him with shocking actions.
Keanu is left hurt and angry at her lack of trust, but Sharon is adamant that she must protect herself, leaving Keanu resolved to get his own money.

Could Lisa sabotage Sheanu’s relationship? Lucy Benjamin seems to think so.
‘I think she’d love to do that! I think if she thought she could get in their way, that would make her very happy!
‘So, yes, I think she does have the power to sabotage their relationship really. And she doesn’t care about that. If she gets to do that, then even more the better.’
Lisa has a lot of strong feelings about Keanu and Sharon, as Lucy went on to reveal.
‘She’s full of bitterness and anger and hate towards them because of what they did to her daughter. She’s absolutely consumed by that.

‘I think that’s another reason why she feels justified in being all guns blazing and coming hammer and tongs for Keanu.
‘And she’s angry that they seem to be having a great life together when Louise is in bits back in Portugal. She’s full of resentment towards them.’
Could Keanu and Sharon be pushed to breaking point?
