EastEnders confirms surprise new love interest for Karen Taylor

Walford celebrated its first pride celebrations last week, during which Karen Taylor met Caren who encouraged the Taylors to help Bernie celebrate her first Pride.

Next week, Karen bumps into her new friend at The Prince Albert and the pair hit it off once again.

After a drink and a chat, Karen is left gobsmacked when Tina Carter suggests that Caren was flirting with her and finds her attractive.

Karen will receive a further shock later in the week when Caren invites her on a date.
