Lorraine Stanley hints at Karen’s ex arrival in EastEnders

He is in prison for almost killing Karen

| Updated:

EastEnders star Lorraine Stanley has teased that Karen Taylor’s ex could arrive in Walford.

Viewers recently watched heartbroken as Karen revealed her abusive ex had stabbed her and left her for dead.

Her son Keegan overheard his mum telling all about how Keanu’s dad abused her but that she has been desperate to keep Keanu from the truth.

But with his father serving a life prison sentence for attacking Karen, Lorraine has hinted he could be about to move to Albert Square.

She told Digital Spy: “I think it’d be interesting to learn more about Keanu’s dad, because we’ve had the reveal that he stabbed Karen and went to prison for attempted murder.

“So if he appeared, there would be some really gritty stuff to play out.

“I think there’s a history of domestic violence, so that’d be interesting to see.”

Viewers have been waiting to see the fallout from Keegan discovering the secret.

Back in March when his dad Mitch arrived in Walford, Keegan’s older half-brother Keanu did everything he could to get rid of him, convinced he was bad news.

And while he was proved half correct, it turned out that Mitch was nothing compared to Keanu’s own father.

He viciously abused Karen, with her explaining to Mitch: “The man tried to stab me to death, you know.

“He put me in intensive care. He knew exactly what he was doing – that’s why he got life.

“Keanu don’t need to know that.”

But now it looks like he could be out of prison and into Walford.
