EastEnders' Keanu Taylor returns to dodgy dealings next week as he worries about not being able to afford his son's christening.

Mitch Baker encourages Keanu to secure some new jobs, but he's quickly turned down by Alfie Moon and Phil Mitchell.

Keanu becomes desperate and questions Sharon's brother Zack Hudson about Ravi Gulati's reputation for criminal activities.

Zack wisely advises Keanu not to get involved in anything risky with Ravi, but it's no use as Keanu only seems interested in the possibility of making some big money.

Yesterday, EastEnders confirmed that plans for Albie's christening will see David Gillespie reprise his role as Duncan Boyd. Duncan was introduced in 1987 as the curate of the local church and was last seen in 1989.

David commented: "I have to say what a pleasure it was being back in EastEnders reviving my role as Duncan after over 30 years of leaving the show – a little strange at first but 'nice strange'.

"The only people I knew were my old mates Letitia [Dean] and Gillian [Taylforth] but I was made to feel instantly at home by such a wonderful cast and great crew – lots of new friends. Fabulous!"

EastEnders' executive producer Chris Clenshaw added: "It's wonderful to welcome David back to the role of Duncan Boyd. Although we haven't seen Duncan for over three decades, his character shares a romantic history with one of the show's iconic matriarchs, Sharon.

"We're delighted to have him back for a short while as he unknowingly stirs up drama between the happy couple."

EastEnders airs on Mondays - Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer.
