The matriarchs carried Keanu's body out the front door of the pub, much to the astonishment of onlookers who were convinced someone else in Albert Square would have seen her.

Just before they dumped Keanu's body, a drunk Rocky was seen stumbling around the square before heading to the pub where he thought there was a lock.

He knocked on the back door before speaking to Linda, who quickly sent him on his way, but the scene left some soap fans believing the moment meant he would take the blame for the murder.

On Twitter, one person wrote: “I wonder if Rocky will be framed now that he's shown up,” while someone else posted: “Will Rocky go in and end up being framed in the plot or something?”

Someone else wrote: “I think Rocky is going to get sued for hitting Nish somehow!”

While someone else shared: “Rocky will stumble into the pub and be blamed.”

Someone else predicted the character will be leaving their soap: “Rocky will take the blame here.” That's his exit,” while someone else remarked: “Ffs, here comes loser Rocky.” “Let him take the blame , he’s homeless, then at least he has a bed for life.”

Someone else wrote: “I think Rocky might take the blame for Nish's attack in order to protect Kathy.” The motive lies in Nish's constant blackmail, as he knew about his gambling and the cafe, which affected his relationship with Kathy impaired. He could also be convicted of arson.'

Meanwhile, many viewers found it unbelievable that the women managed to carry Keanu's body from the pub to the square without there being any witnesses.

One person wrote on Twitter: “This is Walford. I truly believe that SOMEONE must have seen them dragging that body out together. “And whoever it is, they're hiding in the dark for now.”

Someone else shared: “There's no way anyone is going to click on them as they leave the main entrance of the Vic in the square.”

Another person exclaimed: “PLEASE TELL ME FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T TAKE HIM OUT OF THE FRONT DOOR OF THE PUB WHERE SOMEONE COULD SEE YOU?!!!???!!”

While someone else asked: “Then there is no CCTV on the pitch at all?”

“The way they just carry a body across the square,” laughed another viewer, while someone else remarked: “They carry a body out the front doors of The Vic and hope no one sees it.”

Another unconvinced viewer wrote: “Yes, totally believable that they could lift and carry a man's corpse so easily.” “This is pure comedy at the moment and I'm loving every second.”

Towards the end of Monday's episode, the women drank at the Queen Vic pub in Albert Square before inviting Nish to talk to Suki about everything.

Things turned violent when Nish tried to get Suki out of the pub and Denise responded by hitting him over the head with a bottle.

This action was originally thought to have killed him, but after Suki performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation, she managed to get him breathing again and told the others that he was alive, whereupon she laid Keanu on the discovered soil.

He had been stabbed by Linda after entering the pub and strangling Sharon, believing she had killed Nish.

Tensions also arose between the two, as Sharon had told him at the beginning of the episode that he was not biologically related to her son Albie.
