EastEnders’ Karen Taylor makes bombshell return as she reveals shock news about son Keanu
EASTENDERS has revealed the iconic return of Karen Taylor just weeks after she fled Walford.
The launderette assistant - who is played by actress Lorraine Stanley in the BBC soap - made a shock return to Albert Square tonight to find out the truth about what happened to her son Keanu Taylor.
She walked straight into the lion’s den as she faced down Phil Mitchell - after stealing thousands from him - at the reopening of the Bridge Street cafe.
As new manager Bernie tried to play music for the opening, she accidentally played a voice note from Keanu where he said he was going to see her abroad.
But as Nish grabbed her phone, he demanded to know where Keanu was.
Bernie insisted she had no idea and then Phil chipped in with his own theory.
