Keanu Taylor is in danger as Phil\u2019s threats mount amid a kidnapping drama in EastEnders.<\/a><\/p>\n

Actor Danny Walters made an unannounced return to his role as Keanu Taylor<\/a> earlier in December.<\/p>\n

A subsequent twist showed Keanu in league with DCI Samantha Keeble<\/a> (Alison Newman), the nemesis of his old love rival Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden).<\/p>\n

However, a further twist saw it revealed that Keanu was secretly in league with Phil to bring down Keeble<\/a>, with an agreement revealing that Phil would let Keanu return to Walford in exchange for his help.<\/p>

Yet, things got turned on their head when Keanu was revealed to have had a fling with Phil\u2019s sister Sam Mitchell<\/a> (Kim Medcalf) when they were both in Spain.<\/p>\n

In Thursday\u2019s episode (29th December 2022), Phil seemed willing to forgive Keanu for the latest revelation about Sam<\/a> but when Keanu made clear that he had hoped for a romantic future with Phil\u2019s ex-wife Sharon Watts<\/a> (Letitia Dean), Phil saw red and told Keanu he did not want him back and their deal was off.<\/p>\n

On New Year\u2019s Day, Phil is keen to see in 2023 with fianc\u00e9e Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) and the Mitchells at his nightclub, Peggy\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Yet, events take a turn when Keanu arrives and begs Phil to reconsider his demand to leave the Square.<\/p>\n

In response, Phil threatens Keanu\u2019s life and warns that Keanu\u2019s mum Karen (Lorraine Stanley) will have to bury her second child.<\/p>\n

Keanu then pays a visit to Sharon and their son Albie with a bag packed, but Sharon warns him that he can\u2019t return to Albie\u2019s life if he goes now.<\/p>\n

Seeking to take action, Keanu decides to turn on Phil and pays a visit to Keeble himself.<\/p>\n

In Monday\u2019s episode, Phil has a celebratory lunch with the Mitchells when Karen arrives and fiercely confronts him about Keanu, but Phil is not put off.<\/p>\n

Phil also smugly speaks of how he has managed to get one over on Keeble and get cousin Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) off the hook.<\/p>\n

Kat, meanwhile, voices her concerns about Phil\u2019s actions in a heart-to-heart with ex-husband Alfie Moon (Shane Richie), but he actually sticks up for Phil.<\/p>\n

Billy, meanwhile, finally learns the full story about the Keeble mess from Phil and finds his cousin convinced of Keeble\u2019s defeat when the detective rocks up at the club and plays her trump card.<\/p>\n

However, Phil calls Keeble\u2019s bluff and the furious detective storms out.<\/p>\n

Later, Kat and her son Tommy Moon are bundled into a van.<\/p>\n

In Tuesday\u2019s episode, Phil is furious to realise that he has been double-crossed and sets out to take action.<\/p>\n

A horrified Kat and Tommy are taken to an abandoned warehouse as Alfie informs Phil what has happened to them.<\/p>\n

A furious Phil refuses to involve the police and heads straight to Sharon\u2019s house to speak to Keanu and force him to contact Keeble and warn her he will find her.<\/p>\n

As Keanu complies, Sharon warns him that the only way to save himself from Phil is to help save Kat and Tommy.<\/p>\n

Amid Keeble\u2019s spiral, Kat spots the chance to take her on but then the detective pulls a gun on Kat.<\/p>\n

The corrupt cop then calls Phil with a shocking ultimatum.<\/p>\n

In Wednesday\u2019s episode, Kat and Tommy remain prisoners of Keeble in the warehouse as Phil plots his next move.<\/p>\n

Sam pushes Phil to give in to Keeble but he doubts that the detective will keep her word.<\/p>\n
