Sad: EastEnders Karen Taylor will bid farewell to Billy Mitchell in Tuesday’s show, as she prepares to leave the Square with her grandson Kayden
Karen (played by Lorraine Stanley) has been caring for her grandson after Sharon (Letitia Dean) decided she couldn’t raise her baby son, admitting he reminded her too much of her teenage son Dennis (Bleu Landau), who was tragically killed in February.
But after Sharon returns to the Square she begins to bond with her son again, leading to doubts over whether she will let Karen leave.
Regardless Karen bids an emotional farewell to Billy (Perry Fenwick) before preparing to leave the Square, and viewers will have to wait and see whether she really does say goodbye to Walford for good.

Filming for EastEnders was suspended in March due to the coronavirus pandemic, but BBC bosses have confirmed that the cast will hopefully return to set in a matter of weeks.
Charlotte Moore, the broadcaster’s director of content, said last month that EastEnders would be up and running again within weeks, along with Top Gear, with limited crew members and cast asked to do their own hair and makeup.
Moore told The Telegraph: ‘We’ve been looking carefully at how we can safely put some of our shows back into production, and I’m pleased to announce that we plan to begin filming again on both EastEnders and Top Gear by the end of June.
‘We’re also exploring ways to restart shooting on dramas and other major BBC shows.’

She added: ‘Of course, we will work within Government guidelines. Crews will be strictly limited. Cast members will do their own hair and make-up.
‘Social distancing will be in place.’
EastEnders has already cut back on their broadcasting, scaling back to just two episodes a week in a bid to ‘ration’ their filmed content.
EastEnders continues tomorrow at 7:30pm on BBC One.
