BBC EastEnders’ Karen and Keanu Taylor ‘exposed’ as character arrives amid Albie secret
Hit BBC One soap EastEnders is lining up explosive scenes for Karen, played by Lorraine Stanley, and Keanu Taylor, played by Danny Walters, on the hit programme
EastEnders’ Karen and Keanu Taylor fear their secret will be exposed next week on the BBC One soap.
Soap watchers will recall Karen (Lorraine Stanley) has been part of a dramatic storyline recently with her on-screen son Keanu (Danny Walters). Keanu and Karen teamed up to steal everything Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) had, including her son Albie, after Sharon refused to put Keanu on his birth certificate. She also planned to move away from Walford with her son, leaving Keanu behind and with little access to his son.
Karen was furious and encouraged him to take revenge, leading to the fake kidnapping of his son Albie – although Karen hadn’t intended her son go so far in the plot. Karen took the tot to a family member’s house, Malcolm, and Keanu wrote a ransom note, leading to Phil lending Sharon £50,000 to pay the supposed abductors. Karen was left hiding the money at her flat.
