With Keanu now lying wrapped in a tarpaulin under the floor of Kathy’s Cafe, EastEnders fans may be wondering what’s next for the man who played him.

Well hunky Danny has taken to Twitter, breaking his silence following the shock death of his character. Firstly, he shared a picture of Keanu with the caption: “Keanu Taylor.”

Next, he replied to a post from the Radio Times and said to fans: “Thank you for all the love and support over the years. Time to wear a different costume.”

So was Danny hinting that he has another show in the pipeline? Fans have confirmed that they most definitely think so!

“Costume??? You going to be a superhero???” asked one. Another added: “Best of luck @DannyWalters_ with whatever you do, wherever you go, be it here or Hollywood!” Another also predicted a future on the big screen: “So sorry to see you leave. Wishing you the best of luck and hope to see you in something exciting – even you getting into films!”

Others, however, were just gutted Keanu got offed!

“So sad to see you go, didn’t see it coming at all!” said one. “Fancy killing the hot one!” another then said.

Danny Walters bids farewell to Albert Square

Speaking to the Radio Times, Danny said: “It’s been a blast. From the things my character has done, to the drama that he’s got himself involved in, to the danger he’s got himself involved in, and to the women that he’s got himself involved in over the years. It’s been a rollercoaster of a ride, but what a journey it’s been.”

He also revealed he’s taken a memento from his time on the show: “Yes! I’ve taken his greasy mechanic Taylors Autos overalls!”
