Danny Walters has been filming his ‘EastEnders’ exit at Stansted Airport.
The 26-year-old actor is set to leave the soap after almost three years playing mechanic Keanu Taylor, and now he’s been spotted shooting in London for appears to be his final soap scenes.
Although there are no further details on his departure plot, photos published by Digital Spy show Danny filming on location with Lorraine Stanley – who plays his on screen mum Karen Taylor – as they share what appears to be an emotional goodbye.
James Bye (Martin Fowler) has also been spotted on set, which suggests his character could play a role in Keanu’s decision to flee Albert Square.
Viewers are eagerly waiting to find out how Danny’s alter ego will leave the soap when his affair with Sharon Mitchell (Letitia Dean) is finally exposed by Mel Owen (Tamzin Outhwaite).
Bosses are remaining tight-lipped on how Keanu will leave Albert Square but Executive Producer Jon Sen has teased that his exit will be devastating.
He explained: "Keanu’s story is set to come to a dramatic and blistering conclusion in the near future as one of best kept secrets on the Square is finally revealed with devastating consequences.
"We’d all like to thank Danny for his nuanced performance as Keanu Taylor over the last two and half years. What Danny has brought to his character has been one of the reasons the ‘Sheanu’ affair has been such compulsive viewing for fans."
And Danny previously described his time on ‘EastEnders’ as a "joy".
He said: "It has been a joy to play Keanu Taylor for the last two and half years.
"I have been blessed to work with the most fantastic creative team and I will miss them and my fellow actors immensely. ‘EastEnders’ will always hold a special place in my heart and I will continue to be an avid fan."
