EastEnders actor Danny Walters has said his character Keanu would be "crushed" if he found out that Albie wasn't his son.
Keanu's fiancée Sharon has been hiding a massive secret since she discovered that Phil is her son Albie's biological father.
Speaking about the storyline, Walters said: "I think if Keanu was to ever find out, his whole world would be crushed. It would be so devastating and heart-breaking."
Keanu and Sharon are set to say "I do" this Christmas after almost a year of trying to get their relationship back on track.
The soap star is sceptical that this could be the couple's happily ever after.
"I think with Keanu and Sharon, as we can see, it’s not a smooth relationship and probably is quite toxic at times," he shared.
"However, there is a deep lust and love for one another. Unfortunately, external factors in their relationship always seem to create dramas."
Viewers are aware that Keanu was responsible for Albie's fake kidnapping. Walters says Keanu is still keeping this terrible truth from Sharon, reckoning "what she doesn't know won't hurt her".
The 30-year-old British actor said: "He’s not an evil character, he just makes really poor decisions and unfortunately his love for Albie took precedent [sic]. Keanu wants to hold on to this secret and never let it get revealed.
"Keanu did feel completely, wholeheartedly guilty for the emotional damage that he had caused to Sharon through that process, and what transpires through it is that Keanu realises how much Sharon and Albie mean to him as a package and he doesn’t want to let either of them go."
Walters also weighed in on whether it could be Keanu wearing the dreaded cufflinks at Christmas, saying: "I think there are multiple characters that are potential players for the cufflinks.
"This is what’s great about the storyline, there’s so many players involved, and anyone attached to those six women, or maybe not even attached to those six women; it could be any of us."
EastEnders airs on RTÉ One and BBC One Monday to Thursday.
