Karen is back on the square and searching for Keanu… <\/p>

She only left Walford in December, but Lorraine Stanley\u2019s EastEnders<\/a> character Karen Taylor is returning to Albert Square, as seen in some newly released first-look images.<\/p>\n

The photos see Karen back on the square and facing off with Steve McFadden\u2019s Phil.<\/p>\n

When they last saw one another, Karen had taken the blame<\/a> for Albie\u2019s kidnapping to save her son Keanu, and had stolen \u00a350,000 from Phil in ransom money.<\/p>\n

Now, it appears Phil is looking to get his money back, but Karen has something else on her mind \u2013 namely, searching for her missing son Keanu.<\/p>\n

Of course, we know that she certainly won\u2019t be finding Keanu alive and well, as he was killed by Linda Carter on Christmas Day, and the rest of The Six \u2013 Stacey, Kathy, Suki, Denise and Sharon \u2013 helped to hide his body and cover it up.<\/p>\n
