ES/Lorraine Will Not Return To The BBC Soap

EastEnders legend Lorraine, who played Karen from 2017-2024, has revealed her reason for not returning despite struggling to find new jobs. The famous star spoke to The Sun about her plans and said, “At the moment, I wouldn’t go back. I’m happy doing what I’m doing. They’ve left the door open, so never say never. I made that special appearance, and it was nice to see everyone and be a part of the family again.”

While discussing if she’d like to be a recurring character like Patsy, she was quick to mention that she loved working with Palmer and would love to do that again. She also expressed that she doesn’t plan on doing soaps anymore. Lorraine said, ‘Once you’ve done a soap, you’ve done a soap.’ Stanley also highlighted that getting work after the soap has been difficult and how being a mother takes a lot of her time right now.

“At the moment I’m auditioning, I’m just doing self-tapes, which is soul-destroying. It’s horrible; I’m so bad at it,” the soap star added. While discussing her current work, the actress talked about how she is doing Panto in her hometown, where she’s playing Queen Rat. Lorraine has also been working on her health. The TV favourite appeared noticeably slimmer as she looked stunning in a black mini-dress.

The BBC soap actor also shed light on the dramatic end to the Six storyline, where her on-screen son, Keanu, was stabbed to death by Linda during the interview. She admitted that her son didn’t get the justice he deserved but said it made good telly. For more such updates on EastEnders celebs, keep following Soap Opera Daily!

    Yes, we loved her brilliant actress! We want her back. She use to make me laugh a lot. Also she did act very well aswell when her daughter died and Keanu her son.
