EastEnders icon makes shock return after brutal exit from soap
ok.co.ukEastEnders fans were in for a treat on Thursday night as the drama unfolds around Keanu Taylor's funeral. In the episode, Sharon Watts is taken aback when she spots Karen Taylor at The Vic ahead of Keanu's funeral.
However, it doesn't take long for the two foes to start trading barbs, forcing Kat Slater and Sonia Fowler to step in. Long-time viewers will remember that Keanu met his grisly end on Christmas Day, stabbed with a meat thermometer by Linda who was trying to save her friend Sharon Watts from being strangled by him.The Six, including Sharon, Linda Carter, Suki Panesar, Stacey Slater, Kathy Beale and Denise Fox, then conspired to cover up the crime and their involvement in it.
Keanu's body was hidden under the cafe floor, while the women misled the police, claiming that Keanu had attacked Nish Panesar and was now on the run.This lie, along with the truth about his fate, was finally revealed last year when his body was discovered at the cafe, with the women pinning the crime on the villainous Dean Wicks.
Lorraine Stanley - who plays Karen - returned to the soap despite leaving earlier this year. Announcing her departure on Instagram, Lorraine said: "I'll be sad to be saying goodbye to Karen Taylor and will miss all the cast and crew at EastEnders." Karen and Mitch Baker departed Albert Square with their family in December.
