EASTENDERS fans are convinced Keanu Taylor will be killed off after being sent to Spain to do a dangerous job for Phil Mitchell.

Viewers reckon the youngster won't be needing a return flight because he'll meet a nasty end during the trip.

Keanu - played by Danny Walters - accepted a job from the hard man Arches owner after Sharon suggested Phil sent him away to give Louise some space after he broke her heart.

Her decision also boiled down to the fact she had been sleeping with the 20-year-old behind her husband's back - though, fortunately, Phil doesn't know that.

After having a wine-fuelled debate with Linda Carter, Honey Mitchell and Denise Fox, Sharon decided that the best thing for her, Keanu and Louise would be for the eldest Taylor lad to take some time out away from the Square.

She put a call in to Phil and before long Keanu was heading off into the night with a suitcase.

But Sharon was left rattled when Keanu ominously told her that he wasn’t sure if he’d be back and that if anything happened to him it was on her.

A panicked Shazza headed back and pleaded with Phil not to send Keanu on the dodgy job but Phil said it was too late and reiterated that they might never see his pretty face again.

Now viewers reckon the youngster is going to be killed off, with one writing: "Is Phil really having Keanu killed? Is Keanu actually going to Spain? He doesn’t have to go fs #EastEnders."

Another tweeted: "It would hardly be a shock if they killed Keanu off.... #Eastenders."

A third wrote: "EastEnders better not kill Keanu off I will not be a happy bunny if they do...Keanu is eye candy on #EastEnders."

A further added: "Nooooo don’t kill off #Keanu @DannyWalters_ @bbceastenders #EastEnders."
