EastEnders' Keanu Taylor makes desperate move over Lisa Fowler
EastEnders spoilers follow.
Keanu Taylor has made a desperate move to stop Lisa Fowler from leaving Walford in EastEnders.
Earlier this week, Keanu and rival Phil Mitchell discovered that Lisa had been fleecing them both with lies about daughter Louise Mitchell going off the rails to cover her own gambling addition.
In reality, Louise had gone off for a spa holiday with aunt Sam Mitchell in Portugal without having a clue about her mother's blackmail threats.
In Wednesday's episode (July 19), Sharon surprised Keanu when she found Lisa sleeping rough and showed compassion by inviting her in.

It didn't take very long for Sharon to figure out what was actually happening with Lisa, as she'd spotted gambling ads on her mobile phone and later caught her leaving a bookie. Sharon confronted Lisa about what was hiding — and only then did Lisa confess that she was desperately trying to stay ahead of a £40,000 gambling debt.
She offered Lisa a compromise in that she'd convince Phil to help with the financial situation, in exchange for Keanu getting proper access to Peggy.
In spite of Sharon's compassion, Keanu was outraged to find out that Lisa was only offering to let him have some video calls with Peggy once they got back to Portugal.
Sharon explained that she's the one who convinced Lisa to start with video calls, on the promise that if they worked out, Peggy might be able to come stay with them for the holidays.
"I'll always have your back, Keanu, you know that," she insisted.
Keanu assured his fiancée: "I want what's best for Peggy, that's all."
Once Sharon left to check on Albie, Keanu risked blowing the entire situation up when he searched through Lisa's bags — and swiped both Lisa and Peggy's passports to ensure they now can't leave.
Viewers can still expect more twists before next week.
EastEnders airs on Mondays - Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer.
