EastEnders' Jack Branning's brutal murder 'rumbled' as he solves Keanu cover-up
EastEnders' Jack Branning could be killed off in a dramatic twist, fans believe after new scenes on the BBC soap.
The character came dangerously close to the truth about Keanu Taylor's disappearance in the latest episode, months on from his secret demise. The Six know that Keanu was killed and has been buried under the café, while they told the police he was on the run for attacking Nish Panesar.
Linda Carter killed Keanu on Christmas Day to protect Sharon Watts, and the women buried his body with the help of those at the scene, including Stacey Slater, Kathy Beale, Denise Fox and Suki Panesar. After Denise was sectioned recently as the events of Christmas took their toll, Stacey ended up telling Jack the truth about Nish's attack.
Stacey and Jack have been having an affair behind his wife Denise's back, with Denise thinking they slept together once in December. But amid her hoping to get her marriage back on track, Jack is refusing to let go of the case, and what happened to Keanu.
