EastEnders spoilers: Danny Walters teases Phils reaction to discovering Keanu and Sharons illicit affair
Someone knows Keanu and Sharons secret.
The loved up couple are put in a tailspin when a mystery blackmailer reveals they know about the affair and threatens them with exposure unless they come clean to Phil.
Their backs are against the wall – but will they be able to hold them off?
Like most secrets on Walford they dont last long, or if they do its between the two characters keeping the secret for as long as they can, actor Danny Walters told Metro.co.uk.
The mystery person texts the couple telling them to reveal the illicit affair or they will do it by revealing damning evidence of their tryst.
They turn up the pressure, Keanu said of the blackmailer. It starts to test the characters and starts to test each others feelings once the pressure is there.
But perhaps the couple have their own plot to silence the culprit, as Danny teased how Phil might react.

When asked what Phil would do, he said: Thats if he ever finds out.
Sharon and Keanu will surely have to go to drastic measures to keep their love a secret, and given that they really are both so in love itll be hard to hide. But Danny revealed that the two are in it for the long haul.
They have to be madly and deeply in love for the longevity of it, he said, speaking of how genuine their love is. Hopefully thats coming across on the screen.
The pair have enjoyed some fun and naughty storylines of late, but Danny teased there are dark times ahead for the pair.
Leticia is such a professional and a lovely person to work with on and off screen, he said. Weve tried to create the fun and enjoyable side of the characters on this part of the story because we know in the whole story there are going to be times where theres going to be dramas, and really dark storylines to play with.
For this one weve really tried to showcase the characters fun sides, and also show how in love they are and how its going to be hard to resist when the pressure and heat is on.
He added: There are a lot of things to still find out about the characters and the story itself. Theres a lot stake.

Eventually we will see the pressure become too much for Sharon, who temporarily calls it off.
They do get back together, but its again just a test of the obstacles coming their way, Danny said. Its about how they handle it together and theyre still building that trust between the two characters. There are a lot of mind games and a lot of struggles along the way.
Keanu and Sharon have an almost 30 year age gap, which Danny insisted helps prove the love is true.

Its been quite a nice element to put into the story as it just provides another layer and just provides chemistry and its quite nice to see that Keanu doesnt care about the age, love is love, he said.
Sometimes love is blind and you dont know why you feel certain things for someone and sometimes it cant be explained.
He doesnt worry about the age, he sees someone whos very beautiful. For him thats all that really matters. Its not a problem for him but for Sharon its definitely an obstacle. Shes got a lot of demons.
And while Danny and Sharon have their own things to deal with, theres more in store for the Mitchells vs the Taylors.
I think the Taylors and the Mitchells are both strong families who will clash over time, Danny revealed. Theres a lot to see about the Taylors and the Mitchells.
