Huge EastEnders twist as character uncovers a brutal murder
Bernie Taylor (Clair Norris) has opened up about her brother Keanu’s (Danny Walters) shocking murder in EastEnders.
That’s right – we’re harking back to Christmas 2023 and the storyline that dominated the next twelve months worth of storylines.
If you need a quick refresher, here goes…
Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth), Suki Panesar-Unwin (Balvinder Sopal), Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) and Denise Fox (Diane Parish) all found themselves complicit in a gruesome death.
Linda fatally stabbed Keanu with a meat thermometer as he was throttling Sharon.
Just minutes before, Denise had hit Nish over the head with a bottle when he lunged towards Suki.
A number of locals then found out, including Linda’s son Johnny Carter (Charlie Suff), and twisted Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) eventually took responsibility for the crime in the month prior to his death.
One of the last Walford residents to learn the ghastly truth was Bernie, who was horrified to know she’d been working in the cafe just metres from her brother’s corpse.
Now, ahead of her exit, she’s come clean to cousin Felix Baker (Matthew James Morrison) about what happened.
It comes as her plot to scam the Panesar family out of thousands was exposed to Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) in the first of tonight’s two instalments.
She became desperate for cash herself, and after her suspicions were piqued, she stole Bernie’s laptop and uncovered the crime.
Bernie agreed to her blackmail deal – half of the money in exchange for her silence. But she knew her time was running out, and urged Felix to start a new life in Spain with her.
She also hoped this would influence his future with Johnny.
Felix was stunned by her revelations, but even more so that she would dare mess with the fearsome Panesar clan. Little did he realise, she’d thought up a plan.
Vicki had told her aunt Kathy about her sudden windfall, and she rushed to tell her ‘Six’ co-conspirator Suki. In turn, Suki told her step-son Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) what was happening and he demanded an audience with Bernie.
She sat down, and made a brutal and damning lie – Vicki is the one stealing.
Will Bernie get away with it?
