Louise reveals she's PREGNANT as Keanu mystery deepens in EastEnders
Will the missing mechanic live long enough to learn he's about to become a baby daddy?
EastEnders' delivers a baby bombshell on Thursday 21 February when Louise Mitchell (Tilly Keeper) tells dad Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) she's pregnant by missing ex-lover Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters), who no one has heard from since he sent on a dodgy job to Spain. Phil fumes, but how will the teenager's stepmum Sharon Mitchell (Letitia Dean), who has had a secret fling with the mechanic, and Keanu's worried mum Karen Taylor (Lorraine Stanley) react?
Keanu broke off his short-lived relationship with lovestruck Lou hoping being a free agent would lead to the rekindling of his raunchy age-gap romance with Sharon, but when Mrs Mitchell refused to restart their affair the whole thing backfired as Phil threatened his employee to stay away from his entire family.
