Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo) proves true to form in EastEnders next week as he makes derogatory comments about the Taylor clan, leaving Keanu (Danny Walters) irate.
Upcoming scenes set to hit screens next week will see the truth about Keanu and Karen’s (Lorraine Stanley) role in Albie’s kidnap revealed after Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) makes a mammoth discovery.
Putting two and two together, Phil finds the evidence he needs to prove his theory, before storming into the Vic to spill the beans to Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) and everyone present.
The immediate aftermath of such scenes, including Sharon’s reaction, is being kept under wraps but the following week will see the Taylors proving to be the talk of the Square.
One resident who fails to keep his mouth in check is Dean, who goes out of his way to antagonise Keanu with derogatory comments about his loved ones.

As if he has the right to badmouth anyone!
Keanu, in typical Keanu fashion, is quick to defend his family, with two men squaring up to one another as battle lines are drawn in the Vic.
But will violence ensue?
Keanu and Dean both have the potential to be the unfortunate resident who winds up dead on Christmas Day, so will their showdown play any sort of role in the chaos that’s to follow?

Discussing whether Keanu could be the victim, Danny Walters said: ‘I think there are multiple characters that are potential players for the cufflinks.
‘This is what’s great about the storyline, there’s so many players involved, and anyone attached to those six women, or maybe not even attached to those six women.
‘It could be any of us.’
One to watch: Monday December 11 at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
