Bernie Taylor vows revenge on Sharon Watts as she is arrested for Keanu’s 𝕞urder in EastEnders

This article contains spoilers for Thursday’s (April 4) EastEnders, which has not yet aired on TV but is available to watch now on BBC iPlayer.

Bernie Taylor (Clair Norris) was left devastated in recent EastEnders scenes when she finally found out that brother Keanu was the body beneath the cafe.

Keanu was stabbed to death by Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) on Christmas Day, and was helped by the rest of The Six to bury the body.

In more recent scenes, the cafe floor collapsed and poor Bernie was the one to find the body.

Bernie issued a chilling threat to Sharon

In tonight’s episode, police informed Bernie that the body was that of Keanu Taylor’s, and she couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

Police then visited Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) to give her the bad news, and she was forced to act as though she didn’t already know.

As the police left, Sharon was visited by Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth), who pointed out that she should pay Bernie a visit, as that is what she would do if she had really heard the news for the first time.

Bernie lamented to Sharon that she couldn’t understand what Keanu had done to deserve this, and despite having been the person Keanu was strangling, which led Linda to stab him, Sharon acted none the wiser.

Instead, she promised Bernie that she could still be her big sister, and would look out for her.

When Bernie admitted that she didn’t know how to tell mum Karen the awful news, Sharon encouraged her to let her have a few more hours of happiness.

Of course, the real reason Sharon didn’t want Karen to know was because she was worried Karen would tell the police her suspicions that Sharon was involved in Keanu’s murder.

Later, when Felix Baker (Matthew Morrison) overheard Bernie listening to Keanu’s voice note from Christmas Day, telling Karen that Sharon was messing with his head and he was going to bring Albie to Spain, he was concerned, especially after finding out about Sharon stopping Bernie from informing Karen of Keanu’s death.

Suspicious that she had something to do with it, Felix urged Bernie to show the message to police.

Later, Sharon was left shocked when the detective revealed that he had received new evidence that suggested Keanu was going to take Albie out of the country, and given that Sharon and Keanu were in a bad place before his disappearance, it gave her the motive for his murder.

Sharon was horrified as the detective arrested her for murder, and she was soon pleading her innocence to Bernie.

As guilty Linda watched on, Bernie issued a chilling threat, promising Sharon that she would get what’s coming to her…
