Soap's Shocking Christmas Day Episode
EastEnders fans were left on the edge of their seats during the soap's epic late-night hour-long episode on Christmas Day. The fate of the long-running The Six storyline was finally revealed, with Keanu Taylor meeting a brutal end.
How Show Bosses Kept the Secret
Show bosses went to extreme lengths to keep Keanu's murder a secret and throw fans off the scent.

These scenes were a red herring, designed to keep viewers guessing.
A Shock Twist

The potential victims were listed, but it was revealed that Keanu was brutally stabbed while trying to kill Sharon Watts. Another character, Nish Panesar, was also involved in a violent altercation.
The Best Christmas Day Episode in Soap History
