Is one of the soap’s biggest feuds coming to an end? <\/p>

Keanu Taylor is so focused on rekindle an old romance in new scenes of EastEnders<\/a> that he almost forgets about his long-standing feud with one of Albert Square\u2019s key players.<\/p>\n

As fans of the BBC soap know, the character played by\u00a0Danny Walters and Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) go way back. With bad blood running between the two men and Phil working closely with Keanu\u2019s ex Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), it may be only a matter of time before things escalate.<\/p>\n

For now, however, Keanu doesn\u2019t seem to worry about Phil, as Walters explained to press including RadioTimes.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t really think Keanu thinks too much of Phil,\u201d the actor said. \u201cWhat I mean by that is Keanu\u2019s focus and energy is on his family. Right now, Albie is the most important person to him.\u201d<\/p>

Walters admitted that his character can be \u201cvery irrational\u201d and rarely thinks about the bigger picture, particularly when his family is involved.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think he\u2019s too scared of Phil Mitchell but he\u2019s a father that just wants to protect and provide for his son,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

When Sharon rejects him once again, Keanu knows he\u2019ll have to step up his game to create a family with her and Albie.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the advice of unlikely pal Sam (Kim Medcalf) and his mum Karen (Lorraine Stanley), who still firmly opposes a romance with Sharon, Keanu is ready to pull all the stops to impress his ex.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Keanu\u2019s head, he\u2019s had the advice from Sam and Karen about how to make a relationship work,\u201d Walters said.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring this whole scene, Keanu is blinded but also very driven by his heart and what you\u2019ll see doesn\u2019t essentially go to plan for Keanu \u2013 of course it doesn\u2019t, it\u2019s a soap so nothing ever goes to plan!<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, his heart is in the right place and his intention is quite pure and innocent and he\u2019s being quite vulnerable, which is a side to Keanu we haven\u2019t really seen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Keanu\u2019s big gesture may soften Sharon, but it isn\u2019t clear whether these two will have more than an amicable relationship at this point. Should things heat up, could Keanu be Sharon\u2019s mystery groom from the flash-forward scene<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Recently, EastEnders has delighted viewers with a Christmas 2023 whodunit<\/a> seeing six Walford women discover the lifeless body of a male resident at the Vic. The suspicious death seems to have happened on Sharon\u2019s wedding day, as Dean\u2019s character is clad in a white, lacy gown, but no trace of the groom as of yet.<\/p>\n
