Ah, Keegan Butcher-Baker. It was clear Keegan was going to leave a mark on Walford – and not just on the local sandwich scene.

Keegan’s journey began with a bang, quite literally, as he quickly became known for his fiery temper and knack for getting into trouble. Remember when he smashed Louise Mitchell’s phone just to show off? Classic Keegan. But beneath that tough exterior was a heart of gold, especially when it came to his family. The Taylors, with their endless squabbles and heart-warming moments, were the perfect backdrop for Keegan’s antics.

One of the most memorable chapters in Keegan’s life was his whirlwind romance with Tiffany Butcher. Their love story had more twists and turns than a soap opera (oh wait, it is one!). From teenage crushes to a full-blown wedding, Keegan and Tiff’s relationship was the talk of the Square. Who could forget their dramatic elopement and the countless times they broke up and made up? It was like watching a romantic comedy, but with more shouting and less kissing.

Keegan’s entrepreneurial spirit shone through when he started Butcher-Baker’s Sandwiches. Who knew that the same guy who once got into trouble for shoplifting would end up running a successful business? His sandwiches became the stuff of legend, and not just because of the secret sauce. Keegan’s determination to make something of himself was truly inspiring, even if he did have a few run-ins with the law along the way.

In 2022, Keegan decided it was time for a fresh start and moved to Germany with Tiffany. It was a bittersweet farewell for the residents of Albert Square, who had grown fond of his cheeky grin and unpredictable nature. But knowing Keegan, he’s probably causing just as much chaos in Düsseldorf as he did in Walford. Here’s to hoping he brings back some German sandwich recipes!
