EASTENDERS star Danny Walters has returned to social media with a short but sweet post after his character's shock death.

Last night fans were lost for words when it was revealed that Linda Carter killed Keanu Taylor in the flash forward episode of the BBC soap.

Over the past 10 months EastEnders viewers were desperate to know who the mystery male surrounded by The Six were in the Queen Vic.

Earlier today Danny took to his Instagram to break his silence after the epic instalment of the show.

Danny shared a snap of her alter-ego on the platform and simply captioned the post: "Keanu Taylor."

Fans and co-stars rushed to the comments section to share their love and support.

Claire Norris, who plays Bernadette Taylor in EastEnders, wrote some sad face and love heart emojis.

Eve Unwin actress Heather Peace added: "Played a blinder!! And we all miss you Danny."

Jay Brown star Jamie Borthwick said: "My man."

The flash forward episode saw Sharon Watts, Linda Carter, Denise Fox, Suki Panesar, Stacey Slater and Kathy Beale stand around a dead body earlier this year.

The women had all been done wrong by a man in their life - meaning that there were six potential victims.

Fans had to guess between Phil Mitchell, Jack Branning, Dean Wicks, Rocky Cotton, Nish Panesar and Ravi Gulati.

Keanu was stabbed in the back by Linda as she protected her pal Sharon Watts as he tried to kill Sharon.

Nish also tried to smack her on the head with a bottle.

EastEnders fans were left in shock at the aftermath of Keanu’s murder tonight.

The six had to cover up the killing, as well as the attack on Nish Panesar.

EastEnders fans also spotted a clever trick that bosses used to keep Keanu's brutal murder a secret.

Others viewers ‘figured out’ that Keanu isn’t actually dead.

Many pointed out on X that they never said that he wasn't alive.

"He ain't dead, he'll be in it either tomorrow or New Year's Eve/new year day episode," One wrote.

A second added: "Is Keanu actually dead or is it gonna be a thing where he pops out of nowhere 10 years later like Kathy?"
