Guess what? Lorraine Stanley is back on our screens after just a few weeks! It might seem like a quick turnaround, but that's just how things go in the world of soap operas. And let me tell you, Karen Taylor's return to EastEnders is going to be packed with drama.
Last time we saw Karen, she was driving out of Walford with her partner Mitch Baker, in a bittersweet ending. She had managed to avoid the debt she owed to Phil Mitchell, and the truth about her son Keanu orchestrating Albie's kidnapping had been exposed. It seemed like Karen's time in Albert Square was over, but surprise, surprise, she made a cameo appearance on Christmas Day through a video call to her daughter Bernie. And if that wasn't enough, in the same episode, Keanu met a brutal end in a showdown with six of Walford's women, after finding out that Phil was Albie's real dad. Talk about a lot to process!
Now, with Keanu's murder weighing heavily on everyone's minds, Karen's return is sure to shake things up even more. The Taylors and the Bakers were thought to be gone for good, but Karen's reappearance will definitely complicate things. We don't know her true intentions for coming back, but one thing's for sure, she has no idea about her son's fate. Will she be worried for him? And could she possibly uncover the truth about his grisly end?
But Karen's not just coming back to deal with her personal drama. She also has to face the wrath of Phil, who was screaming with rage as she fled the Square. There's definitely some unfinished business between them, and you can bet that Phil will have a lot to say when they come face to face. Writer John Greening even hinted at some intense episodes to come on his Twitter, adding to the anticipation.
Fans have been buzzing with excitement and speculation about Karen's return. Some are wondering how she's even brave enough to come back to Walford, with Phil surely after her blood. Others are hoping that her return will lead to finding Keanu's body and bringing closure to the tragic event. And there are even those who predicted Karen's return, marking it off on their "return bingo."
After the news of her departure, Lorraine Stanley, the actress who plays Karen, thanked the writer Daran Little for creating such a memorable character and the BBC for giving her the opportunity to bring Karen to life. She also expressed her gratitude to the rest of the cast and crew and her excitement for new acting opportunities. We're definitely going to miss Karen and her Taylor/Baker family, but we're looking forward to seeing what Lorraine does next.
So, get ready for more drama, because Karen is back and she's going to have to face the consequences of her son's actions and her unfinished business with Phil. We can't wait to see how it all unfolds!
