This would then allow Keanu to stick around without fear of being killed by his enemy.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight, Keanu knocked on Sharon\u2019s door, and she had her guard well and truly up as she instructed brother Zack Hudson (James Farrar) to keep Albie away. But as she and Keanu chatted, old feelings began to stir. Keanu was keen to spend time with their son, who he hadn\u2019t seen since his brief glimpse at the hospital after he was born.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon said she would think about his request, and father-to-be Zack urged her to let Keanu see Albie, knowing how he would feel in his shoes. So Sharon paid Keanu a visit and revealed that he could see their boy after all. The pair looked like they could easily grow closer as they talked once more, but Sharon rushed away before she could give in to how she truly felt.<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\"
