Just days after making a surprising comeback, EastEnders bids farewell to Karen Taylor.
On the Hunt for the Truth
Karen, portrayed by actress Lorraine Stanley, returned to Walford determined to uncover the truth about her missing son, Keanu.
Convinced that Phil, Sharon, and the other women were involved in Keanu's disappearance, Karen was determined to get to the bottom of it.
Friendship and Support
Despite Karen's suspicions, Bernie, her daughter, revealed that Keanu had vanished before and would likely resurface.
Understanding her mother's pain, Bernie urged Karen to focus on her own happiness and to return to her partner Mitch and their children.
After sharing some shocking revelations to create turmoil between Kat and Phil, Karen finally listened to reason and accepted the deal.
A Bittersweet Farewell
Expressing her pride in Bernie's independence, Karen bid her daughter farewell and handed her a generous sum of money.
With the understanding that secrets don't stay hidden for long, Karen acknowledged that stirring up trouble wouldn't help if Keanu needed to stay hidden.
She left Walford, promising to return when her son's body is discovered.
