Viewers have already been unsettled by middle-aged Sharon Mitchell’s affair with Keanu Taylor.
But their discomfort turned to disgust last night when the age difference between the odd couple was revealed.
Keanu has ambitions to be a cabbie, but told his lover he was struggling to get a minicab licence because he is only 19.
19! N-n-n-n-nineteen!
Keanu is 19? Sharon’s face said “OMG I’m trash” 😂😂 #EastEnders

If a 50 year old man was with a teenage girl on #EastEnders like sharon & Keanu BBC would be inundated with complaints. It’s a horrible, tacky storyline that leaves a bad taste.

At least Sharon also had the decency to look aghast at the age gap… near-on 30 years!
