EastEnders have given fans a huge hint about the build-up to Sharon Watts’ Christmas wedding day horror, as Keanu Taylor pops the question.
In upcoming scenes, Sharon is forced to make a huge decision when Keanu stuns her with a surprise proposal, after weeks of romantic tension.
This story will prove to be a vital stepping stone in a long-running plot leading to Sharon’s wedding this Christmas, which was teased last month by revealing a mystery male character will die.
Viewers have been eagerly waiting to see whether Sharon will agree to take Keanu back after he fled the Square, but his attempts at regaining her love have ended in failure – will the pair finally give their relationship a chance?
In the upcoming episodes, Kat (Jessie Wallace), Sharon (Letitia Dean) and Phil (Steve McFadden) are preparing to host an opening event for Boxing Den.

Eager to impress Phil, Ben (Max Bowden) steps in at the last minute to take part in a demo as one of the boxers is taken ill, but it doesn’t go his way.
Keanu is downbeat as he’s dismissed by Sharon once again.
But after some words of encouragement from Sam, and Karen who begrudgingly shares her advice, Keanu (Danny Walters) makes a declaration of love at the gym and proposes to a horrified Sharon in front of stunned onlookers.
Later, Kat arrives and encourages Sharon to listen to her heart.
Sharon remains torn but a frank conversation with Sam convinces her to re-think and she invites Keanu over… will the pair give their romance another go?
The storyline could prove a vital development in the soap’s long-running plot leading to a shock death on Christmas Day.
In a flash-forward which aired last month, Denise (Diane Parish), Kathy (Gillian Taylforth), Linda (Kellie Bright), Sharon, Stacey (Lacey Turner) and Suki (Balvinder Sopal) were seen surrounding a dead body, but the identity of the corpse and the killer were kept secret.
Viewers will have to wait 10 months to see exactly what unfolds on the Christmas Day episode, with each woman and the men in their lives set to undergo dramatic storylines that will explain the night’s drama.

Soap boss Chris revealed that the plans for the epic whodunnit have been in the pipe line for more than a year as he revealed tidbits of what is to come from the six scorned women in the spotlight.
For Linda, he warned that ‘her knight in shining armour may not be who you think.’
As for Suki, while she continues to struggle with her marriage and her sexuality, ‘as the year progresses, Suki will uncover truths, and have her relationships tested but ultimately her biggest secret could push her to the extreme.’
While Kathy is loved up with Rocky (Brian Conley) ‘we know Rocky he has a past so just what will catch up with him.’
As for Stacey, she ‘finds herself doing something she’s never done before in an effort to protect her family and unborn grandchild.’
With Denise in a love triangle with husband Jack (Scott Maslen) and Ravi (Aaron Thiara) viewers can ‘expect explosive action when Jack discovers what’s been going on.’
We know from the flashforward that Sharon is getting married at Christmas but with the gym owner upset that Keanu (Danny Walters) romped with Sam (Kim Medcalf) viewers should ‘watch out for many twists, turns, and plenty of heartbreak along the way.’
