Fans of EastEnders bid farewell to Lorraine’s character, Karen Taylor, last year just before the festive season. Her departure came following the dramatic exit of her on-screen son, Keanu Taylor, who met a tragic end at the hands of Linda Carter.

Confirming her departure from EastEnders in October, Lorraine took to social media to express her gratitude to fans for their support and to bid farewell to the beloved character she portrayed. She shared her excitement for new opportunities on the horizon, revealing that she had already secured two brand-new gigs in both stage and television productions. Lorraine recently began filming for a new British drama titled ‘Departures’ and is set to star as Queen Rat in this year’s pantomime production of Dick Whittington in her hometown of Portsmouth.
Lorraine’s journey to a healthier lifestyle and her continued success in the entertainment industry serve as an inspiration to many. Her dedication to self-improvement and her positive outlook on life are qualities that resonate with fans and admirers alike.
