Keanu turns to Sharon after Louise baby drama in EastEnders
The old flames are drawn back together
The romance between Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) and Louise Mitchell (Tilly Keeper) in EastEnders was complicated enough without throwing a baby into the mix, seeing as Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) was paying his employee to go out with his daughter so as to protect her from gangster Danny Hardcastle (Paul Usher) and his cronies - not to mention the fact hunky Keanu had an affair with Phil's missus Sharon Mitchell (Letitia Dean).
