Actress Lorraine Stanley hasn't said she's departing the show...

EastEnders fans fear Karen Taylor is leaving after Ian Beale paid her to leave Walford with baby Kayden.

Fans of the show know Kayden’s mum Sharon has been struggling since the death of her eldest son Dennis.

With her grief consuming her, she left Kayden in the care of his paternal grandmother Karen.

In Monday’s episode (March 23), Ian paid Karen a visit and gave her cash in order to help with raising Kayden.

However Ian told Karen they needed to “tweak the set-up” and she had to move away from Walford with Kayden for good, so Sharon doesn’t have to see the baby everyday.

He then said if she didn’t, they would need to look into putting Kayden into care.

Later, Karen’s son Keegan confronted Ian but he said he’s only trying to help Sharon.

However, is he just trying to help Sharon out of guilt?
