EastEnders fans ‘scream at TV’ over ‘absurd’ prison blunder as star returns

EastEnders fans have been left baffled by a glaring prison mistake.

The BBC soap returned to screens on Thursday June 13 and saw Keanu Taylor’s funeral take place. As fans will recall, he was killed by Linda Carter on Christmas.

Keanu was about to strangle Sharon Watts before Linda intervened and stabbed him. The rest of the Six then covered up the murder by dumping Keanu’s body in the cafe.

However, in typical soap opera fashion, her body was eventually discovered, causing panic among the ladies. However, they charged Dean Wicks with Keanu’s murder – and he was sent to prison for it.

And with his funeral, it saw the return of Keanu’s mother Karen. Determined to uncover the truth, she visited her son’s “killer” in prison.

However, in order to see Dean, Karen lied to the prison guards and posed as her mother, Shirley Carter. And fans were seriously perplexed as to how she allegedly got away with it.
