Having Louise on EastEnders ruthlessly double-cross Keanu certainly made for a tense Christmas Day twist. But I just knew that she didn’t really have the same streak of eye-for-an-eye vengeance that the rest of the Mitchells appear to possess.

But with actress Tilly Keeper set to exit soon, what’s the betting that Lou eventually has a change of heart after discovering all about her ex-partner’s miraculous resurrection and secretly plots to be with him? Not one jot of this may turn out to be true, but with the show’s 35thanniversary coming in February, it would be a decent set-piece chase sequence, especially if the pair end up being pursued by a raging Phil and Ben.

What we know is that Linda fled the room after the man in question tried it on with her, but her memories of the night in question are a blur. Hence the Carters’ marriage now hitting another sizeable rocky patch.
