Lorraine Stanley has confirmed she has left EastEnders for good after seven years.
The actress departed her role as Karen Taylor in December last year,
days before her son Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) was murdered by
Linda Carter (Kellie Bright).
Karen left her old home alongside partner Mitch Baker (Roger Griffiths), young Bailey and Mack and Mia, the children of Karen’s daughter Chantelle Atkins.
The family climbed into Mitch’s van and waved goodbye to life in Walford, starting again in Spain.
