Dean believes that his sister-in-law Linda must be involved in Keanu’s demise and has been working with Bernie Taylor to force her confession.

Bernie recently started sending anonymous threatening messages to Linda. The constant harassment has threatened Linda’s sobriety and weighed on her already guilty conscience.

EastEnders star Scott Maslen has teased that The Six will face tough times ahead as Dean goes on trial. His character Jack Branning knows about The Six’s involvement in covering up Keanu’s death and has helped them avoid discovery.

“There’s obviously the ongoing scenario with The Six and trying to maintain some form of control over what they’re doing,” Scott told Digital Spy.
