Spoiler warning for Wednesday 11th October\u2019s episode of EastEnders, which was released at 6am on BBC iPlayer and will air at 7:30pm on BBC One.<\/strong><\/p>\n

EastEnders<\/a>\u2018 Karen Taylor (Lorraine Stanley) schemed against Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) after another row in today\u2019s episode.<\/p>\n

Karen\u2019s son Keanu (Danny Walters)<\/a> shares his son Albie with Sharon, who was furious when Keanu took him out for the day without speaking to her first, and also having Albie\u2019s ear pierced.<\/p>\n

As Keanu stewed over Sharon\u2019s warning, Karen was equally incensed with her attitude, feeling that Sharon was blocking Keanu\u2019s access maliciously. Meanwhile, Mitch Baker (Roger Griffiths) urged Keanu to apologise to Sharon, telling him that he had messed up with Albie.<\/p>

Keanu did tell Sharon he regretted his actions, but she said they needed a third party to mediate an agreement about their son. Keanu was not happy with this, and relayed the latest update to Karen and Mitch.<\/p>\n

Karen was sceptical, pointing out that she hardly ever saw other sons Chatham and Riley. But Keanu decided to trust Sharon, ordering his mum to back off. In the gym office, Karen followed Keanu to the meeting with Sharon and her solicitor, where Karen told Sharon that she\u2019d \u201chave her\u201d if she was up to no good.<\/p>\n

Karen couldn\u2019t resist butting in, and Keanu questioned Sharon having the final say over Albie. The solicitor reminded them that Keanu\u2019s name wasn\u2019t on the birth certificate, and Sharon suggested that he was unreliable.<\/p>\n

Sharon went on to reveal that she was taking a job she\u2019d been offered in Abu Dhabi, and Keanu demanded access to Albie every week. Karen continued to add fuel to the fire, and Keanu told Sharon he wouldn\u2019t allow her to take his son away.<\/p>\n

Karen felt strongly that Keanu was being cut out of Albie\u2019s life, and rejected Mitch\u2019s idea to get help from citizen\u2019s advice. Karen headed to The Vic to appeal to Sharon, but was riled by her attitude. Sharon called the Taylors \u201canimals\u201d, while Karen called her a \u201chag\u201d.<\/p>\n

Sharon then launched a scathing verbal attack on Karen, and Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth) later told Sharon that she had gone too far.<\/p>\n

But back at home, Karen was out for revenge. With Keanu certain that Sharon still loved him, Karen instructed him to use that to his advantage and marry Sharon so he could get legal rights to Albie \u2013 and take her for everything she\u2019s got!<\/p>\n

Will their scheme pay off? Does this mean Keanu is Sharon\u2019s Christmas groom<\/a>? And will this lead to Karen\u2019s exit<\/a>?<\/p>\n
