Keanu faces his nemesis, Ben
KEANU HAS ONE DESPERATE LAST ATTEMPT TO CLEAR HIS NAME, BEFORE LEAVING WALFORD FOREVER...
Fugitives Keanu and Louise are back on the Square this week – alongside Louise’s mother Lisa – but can the innocent mechanic persuade Ben to tell the police the truth about Phil’s attack?
Keanu fled Walford after he was accused by Ben of bashing Phil, and – knowing he would be facing years in jail if he was found guilty – he made the heartbreaking decision to go on the run with his pregnant fiancée. But now the pair are home, and Keanu knows
Ben is the key to clearing his name. However, his future brother-in-law isn’t keen to help him out of trouble…
“Keanu’s back with one thing on his mind – getting Ben to tell the truth,” reveals our Walford insider. “He just can’t fathom why Ben is hell-bent on destroying his life like this! All Keanu wants to do is be with Louise, and support his baby, and the fact that Ben is destroying that dream is just mind-boggling to him!”
Although Louise urges her man to lie low, Keanu just can’t help himself – and storms around to confront Ben about his actions! The pair come face-to-face in E20, where Keanu pleads with Ben to retract his statement to the police. However, as tempers flare, it doesn’t look as though this cosy little chat is going to go the way Keanu hoped…
Meanwhile, Phil gets wind of the fact that Louise is back on the Square, and rages at Mel and Lisa, demanding to know where his daughter is. Although Lisa denies all knowledge, Phil soon clocks

that she’s lying – and stomps off to track down his girl!
Louise herself is on a mission to find her AWOL fiancé, but gets sidetracked when Bex spots her – and the pair duck into the Vic to avoid being seen by Sharon. So with more and more people now aware that the runaways are back, is it only a matter of time before Phil catches up with them?
“Keanu has no idea that
Phil already knows that it
wasn’t Keanu who attacked him,” sighs our spy. “All Phil wants is to get his daughter back home. As far as Keanu’s concerned, though, his days on the Square are numbered
– and his only option is to go back on the run. While he’s going to miss his family desperately, being with Louise and his baby is his priority right now.”
But as Keanu is saying a heartfelt goodbye to his brother Keegan, Sharon turns up. Given that she’s also carrying his unborn baby, can Sharon persuade Keanu to stay put – or will the terrible events that are about to unfold stop him dead in his tracks?
