EastEnders: Dean forces Linda to lie about rape accusation EastEnders enthusiasts believe they have figured out the identity of the person who sent Linda Carter (played by Kellie Bright) the distressing letter. Since Christmas, when she killed Keanu Taylor (portrayed by Danny Walters), Linda has been in turmoil. As viewers will remember, Linda intervened and stabbed Keanu to prevent him from murdering Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean).

Despite Keanu no longer posing a physical threat, his death did not mark the end of their ordeal. The remaining members of The Six - Kathy Beale, Suki Panesar, Denise Fox and Stacey Slater - assisted in concealing the murder by disposing of Keanu's body in the Bridge Street Cafe. In true soap opera style, his body was eventually found under the floorboards.

However, the women managed to evade punishment for the crime by framing Linda's rapist, Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo), for Keanu's murder. This week on the soap, Linda, who has returned to drinking, was left rattled after Fraser, an associate of Dean, confronted her with a proposition. In exchange for her retracting her statement implicating him in Keanu's murder, Dean would admit to raping Linda, reports the Daily Star .
