BBC EastEnders’ Phil exposes Keanu and Karen’s plan after huge cash blunder

EastEnders fans will be screaming at their televisions next week as the BBC One soap is lining up explosive scenes.

In upcoming episodes, Phil Mitchell rumbles Keanu and Karen Taylor’s revenge plan after he spots a series of clues in Albert Square due to the latter’s stolen cash blunder. Soap watchers will recall that Karen has been part of a dramatic storyline recently with on-screen son Keanu.

Keanu and Karen teamed up to steal everything Sharon Watts had, including her son Albie, after Sharon refused to put Keanu on his birth certificate. She also planned to move away from Walford with her son, leaving Keanu behind and with little access to his son.

Karen was furious and encouraged him to take revenge, leading to the fake kidnapping of his son Albie. Karen took him to a family member’s house and Keanu wrote a ransom note, leading to Phil lending Sharon £50,000 to pay the supposed abductors. Karen has been left hiding the money at her flat while Keanu has now got engaged to Sharon again.

In upcoming scenes, Mitch is unimpressed by Karen splashing the cash in The Vic and Phil gets suspicious. Later, Mitch goes to confront Keanu over the kidnap plot, especially involving Karen, but he’s unrepentant and due to his family’s behaviour, a rattled Mitch ends up in an accident when his van hits Harvey’s taxi.

Kat demands Mitch pays for the damage to which Karen goes behind his back to settle the debt using the stolen Mitchell money. However, a suspicious Phil examines the notes Karen gave Kat and sees they are his marked bills but an unconvinced Kat demands more proof.

After setting Sam on the case, Phil finally gets the evidence he needs to prove Karen and Keanu staged Albie’s kidnap. Later in the week, Phil is on a mission to prove he’s right about Keanu and Karen, starting at The Arches. And it’s not long until Kat catches him searching the place and he shares his evidence.

However, Kat is still incredulous and suggests that if Karen’s got the money, it will be hidden closer to home. In a bid to get evidence, Phil goes to 23b but gets turned away by Felix. Later, he sneakily sends Tommy over and the youngster finds the money hidden under Karen’s bed.

And in true soap style, just as Sharon excitedly announces that she and Keanu will hold their wedding reception at The Vic on Christmas Day, Phil bursts in to tell her that Karen and Keanu staged Albie’s kidnap for money. How will Sharon react and will the wedding still go ahead?
