There have been many hook-ups in soap that have surprised us. Mick and Whitney. Billy and Tina. Chesney and Sinead. Bob and Laurel. Lots of them.
But now fans are predicting a romance that would be so surprising it might just beat all of those.
They reckon the hottest new couple to hit Walford could be Jay and Keanu.
Yep, that’s right.
Jay and Keanu.
No, neither of them are gay. But that’s not stopping the Enders fans hoping for a bit of Jeanu action. (Or does Kay work better?)
In recent episodes we’ve seen Jeanu (we’re sticking with that for now, go with us here) bonding.
First, Keanu rushed to help when Jay was beaten up by the drug dealer who’s been hanging round the Vic.
And to say thanks, Jay has been giving Keanu some work at the funeral parlour, sorting out the electrics and doing other jobs round the place.
There was even a little frisson between them when Keanu got spooked by being around all the dead bodies. As he said he’d heard a creak, Jay agreed there was a strange noise.

Then he stared in horror at an open coffin and told Keanu the lid had been closed before. As Keanu froze in horror, Jay laughed and told Keanu he’d be all right!
We have to admit they’re cute together, but we were thinking more along the lines of bromance than romance.
But perhaps we’re wrong.
“I always thought Jay was gay and I’ve always said that Keanu is gay,” said one knowing fan on Twitter.

“Could it be Keanu & Jay the hot new couple in Walford?” asked another. “Very possible!”
Another acknowledged that romance looked likely but said it was “another randomly plonked storyline”.
We’re not completely convinced – but we’ll watch with interest!
