The Six’s killer secret ‘set to be’ discovered in horror twist as Keanu Taylor’s body is moved
There is panic aplenty in EastEnders next month when builders arrive at the cafe to begin the restoration work, leaving The Six in an absolute frenzy as they attempt to work out their next move.
The cafe, as viewers will know, is where the body of Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters), who died over the festive season, has been hidden.
The groom-to-be was killed by Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), who was simply trying to save her best friend Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) after Keanu attempted to choke her to death.
Linda struggled to come to terms with what she’d done, with Sharon, Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner), Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth), Denise Fox (Diane Parish) and Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) assisting her in covering up the crime.
The matriarchs, known to viewers as The Six, wrapped Keanu’s corpse in a tarpaulin and swiftly moved his remains to the burnt out cafe, burying him underneath rubble before securing the building with a padlock.
Rocky Cotton (Brian Conley), however, has proven a liability, given that he drunkenly witnessed Sharon, Denise and Stacey heading into the cafe on the evening in question, leaving Kathy with a big decision to make regarding how to get her ex to stop meddling.
But The Six soon have bigger fish to fry when the builders arrive at the cafe. Suki does her best to stall them while Linda goes into a massive meltdown, unravelling in public as she worries that their secret is set to be exposed.
Stacey offers support to Linda, reminding her that all of their futures rely on her staying off the booze and keeping it together.
Suki, meanwhile, successfully convinces the builders to down tools and later assists her five friends in coming up with a plan.

One thing is for certain. They must move the body!
As they discuss how exactly they do that, Suki gets a call that could change everything. But just what does this phone call entail? Well, that is the question, and one you’re just going to have to wait to find out the answer to.
Subsequent scenes see Denise once again get set to meet up with the other women to discuss tactics but Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) temporarily delays her by introducing her to Penny (Kitty Castledine).
Linda, meanwhile, proceeds to get drunk while Kathy goes to collect her, with Denise giving the landlady a piece of her mind, forcing Kathy to intervene to stop a row from erupting.
Their subsequent conversation sees a plan set in motion for later that evening, with The Six agreeing to meet at the cafe.
That night, they each make excuses to their loved ones and head for the cafe, ready to put their plan into action.
Afterwards, Denise shares her fears with her fellow women, who are less than sympathetic. But just what has spooked Denise? And could whatever it is come back to haunt her?
