EastEnders 'reveals' who'll go down for Keanu's murder and it's 'not Nish or Stacey'

EastEnders may have teased which character will go down for Keanu Taylor's murder if Dean Wicks is proven innocent, after a telling comment amid a death theory

EastEnders may have teased a new character will be imprisoned for Keanu Taylor's murder in upcoming scenes, with Dean Wicks proven innocent.

Dean was framed by The Six earlier this year and remains in prison, amid his confession in court that he raped Linda Carter. Linda is Keanu's real killer, and her and The Six covered up the crime and buried his body.

When Keanu's corpse was uncovered under the café floor, Dean was framed. But now with the police seemingly convinced he didn't do it, there's pressure on The Six once more.

Nish Panesar has found out the truth too. Linda actually confessed to the crime weeks ago in a police interview, but they didn't believe her amid her alcoholism relapse.

They thought she was struggling with everything going on and had made a drunken confession to something she did not do. Now though, all of The Six have been requestioned and Nish has found out who really killed Keanu.

Nish is now blackmailing ex Suki Panesar and the other women, using what he knows against them. Fans are questioning whether the big scenes will lead to someone being sent to prison for the crime, with Dean's conviction quashed.

It might not be Nish who gets blamed though, despite hopes from fans that he will go down for the crime. Amid a theory Stacey Slater could take the fall and leave the show, some fans don't think it's her either.

But theories aside, could a scene this week have given away what happens? Could a recent death clue, that fans think is a red herring, cover up the fact that Linda does end up going to prison for her crime?

This week Linda told the women she would go back to the police station, and re-confess her crime. She was adamant that she go down for it, and not drag anyone else into it.

She promised to go back to the station and tell them, "chaining herself to the desk if she had to". So might Linda finally be believed and finally be charged for what she did?

Carter family members were recently seen filming a funeral, with it thought to be Linda's. Kellie Bright, who plays Linda, was missing from the location shoot, sparking speculation she will be killed off.

But what if the funeral is actually a red herring to cover up Linda's true fate? Might Linda be sent to prison for killing Keanu?
