EastEnders fans were in for a dramatic episode tonight (May 2) after Keanu’s shocking arrest at Albie’s christening.
But it a hilarious turn of events, it was Kathy Beale who stole the show, after she appeared to get totally wasted at the Old Vic.
As fans watched Keanu negotiate his way out of jail while Ravi juggled threats from his shady bosses, Kathy took centre stage as she began pounding champagne and wine, giving fans a welcome bit of comic relief.

“We deserve a whole episode of just hammered Kathy i think,” said one viewer.

“Another added: Drunk Kathy is giving us life,” said a second, while a third penned: “Gillian Taylforth plays a perfect drunk version of Kathy.”
Fans recent saw Keanu working alongside Ravi, moving his drugs for him in a bid to earn some extra cash.
Just as the christening was concluding, there was a sound of an alarm outside, as both Keanu and Martin headed outside.

Parked outside the church, he noticed it was coming from the van and as he jumped into the front to shut it off, he was quickly surrounded by the police as the lead detective questioned whether it was his vehicle or not.
Soon, he was arrested by the police in front of everyone as Karen shouted at the cops and Sharon just looked stunned.

On tonight’s episode, Keanu was asked by police to grass out who he worked with and be set free.
The show did let viewers in on what he said, but he was later seen at the christening, telling Ravi that he was on bail for dealing cocaine.
Ravi was then heard on a phoencall telling his boss that Keanu didn’t grass him up, but was ordered to beat him up, which was the final scene of the epsidoe.
Letitia Dean – who plays Sharon – recently admitted her character is completely shocked by Keanu getting mixed up in drugs.
“She’s completely flawed by the possibility that Keanu has been mixing with drugs. Sharon is no shrinking violet when it comes to crime, but she’s definitely disappointed as Keanu represented something that was so safe and detached from her former life, so this really rocks her and makes her reconsider everything,” she revealed.
