It will be her second return to Walford since star Lorraine Stanley departed the soap last year. <\/p>
Lorraine Stanley is reportedly set to return to EastEnders<\/a> as Karen Taylor for the second time since her departure last year.<\/p>\n According to Digital Spy<\/a>, the star will be making a brief appearance following the discovery of her son Keanu\u2019s body, four months after he was murdered by The Six in the 2023 Christmas Special.<\/p>\n Stanley initially departed the soap just before Christmas, but has already made one reappearance since then, when she arrived back in Walford in February to enquire about Keanu\u2019s disappearance.<\/p>\n However, she soon returned to Spain none the wiser as to her son\u2019s actual fate, so it will certainly be interesting to see her reaction when she finds out the reality of his murder.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p>\n Keanu\u2019s body was unearthed from the bowels of the caf\u00e9 earlier in April after the floor collapsed, with the police soon becoming involved in the matter, arresting Sharon for murder while the rest of The Six plotted to save themselves.<\/p>\n More recently, however, The Six framed rapist Dean Wicks for the crime<\/a>, after Stacey Slater planted the murder weapon<\/a> of a meat thermometer in his flat \u2013 and he is currently behind bars for the crime. Will Karen expose the truth?<\/p>\n Karen had initially run off to Spain after taking the blame<\/a> for Albie\u2019s kidnapping in order to save Keanu, while she had also stolen \u00a350,000 from Phil in ransom money.<\/p>\n At the time of her original exit, Stanley told The Sun<\/a> that she hoped \u201cthe door will be left open for Karen\u201d to make further appearances, something which has now already proven to be the case.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
