EastEnders twist: Grant Mitchell as Sharon and Keanu’s blackmailer?

Is he protecting his bro?

The identity of Keanu and Sharon’s blackmailer has had EastEnders fans making wild accusations all week – with Louise Mitchell, Mel Owen and Hunter Owen all suspects.

Even Sharon and Keanu have brainstormed all of the possible culprits, and the list of Shazza’s potential enemies was (ahem) quite long.

Back then, Grant got his hands on a tape of Sharon revealing how she felt about the two brothers to friend Michelle Fowler.

The episode when Grant discovered the affair remains one of EastEnders’ highest viewed episodes ever.

Meanwhile, Ross Kemp has never ruled out a possible return.

Earlier this year, he said of his EastEnders role: “It’s a great job to have and I often think it would be lovely to be back in a soap.”

He was last seen in Walford in 2016, when he met his son Mark Fowler Junior, but Mark decided not to tell him the truth about who he was…
