- Sarah Ellis

The confrontat­ion Eastenders fans have been waiting for finally occurs this week, as raging Phil comes face to face with his love rival, Keanu! Meanwhile, Ben is in turmoil as Keanu holds his lover Callum hostage, and makes a huge demand for his release…

Phil returns from Portugal, incensed to find out that Sharon’s secret lover is still alive – having believed that Keanu had been killed on his orders on Christmas Day! So as Phil and his son storm down to the River Thames to confront Keanu on the doomed party boat, is one of the men set to end the night swimming with the fishes?

“Keanu’s a brave man to return to Walford, having only just escaped with his life last time!” gasps our insider. “Not only did Keanu make a mockery of Phil by sleeping with his missus, but he’s now turned up in Walford, alive and well, when Phil thought he’d offed him! You can just imagine the deep shade of red Phil’s face will turn when he finds out this news!”

Having been spared a certain death thanks to Martin and Linda, Keanu’s been laying low abroad for the past few weeks. It turns out he’s been plotting his revenge – and it seems he’s learned a thing or two from his badboy former employers…

After making a dramatic return to the Square last week, Keanu struck back at Ben by taking his beloved boyfriend Callum hostage! And although Ben has done everything in his power to get his man home safe and well, Callum remains at Keanu’s mercy…

Ben is at breaking point thanks to Keanu’s blackmail, and is forced to take desperate measures to save Callum from death. Meanwhile, Phil is already plotting his own revenge attack, as he schemes to get rid of Keanu once and for all.

But what exactly does

Phil have planned?

“Phil decides to hit Keanu where it really hurts – by threatenin­g his mum, Karen!” gasps our sneak. “Phil knows that Keanu loves his mum more than anything, so she’s the key to getting his attention. However, knowing Karen, she’d rather lay down her own life than have Phil hurt a hair on her son’s head.”

After he manhandles Karen, Phil ends up racing down to the boat, where he and Ben finally face off with Keanu in an epic battle! Will Ben arrive to discover that Keanu has already done away with Callum? And which of the men will make it out of the furious showdown alive?

“Phil decides to hit Keanu where it really hurts!”
