EastEnders star’s furious rant as she discovers ‘vile’ state of new house as she sells up after soap axe

LORRAINE Stanley was left enraged after she saw the condition her house was left in before she sold it on.

The soap star took to social media to blast the former tenants of the property, posting an image of the mess they left behind.

The actress, who is known for playing Karen Taylor in EastEnders, fumed: “Thanks for leaving us some ketchup sachets!

“We broke our back cleaning our property for our buyers to move in, absolute mingers!”

She then added in several hashtags, which read: “House move. No respect. No class. Trash.

“The rest of the house was vile!! Shame on you.

“Deep clean tomorrow. Raise the bar.”

Lorraine was last seen in Walford in February, after soap bosses confirmed in 2023 that her character was going to be written out of the show.

She played matriarch Karen for seven years before getting the boot, and fans were heartbroken to see her storyline end.

But thankfully for them, Lorraine has hinted that Walford hasn’t seen the last of her.

When asked about a possible return, Lorraine exclusively told The Sun: “You’ll have to wait and see. I can’t say too much, you know I can’t.

“You know there [will be] a funeral of some sort, I would imagine. I’m not allowed to say anything!”

In the meantime she has been working on a new project after landing a role in the upcoming movie Departures.

The flick  centres around Benji and his relationship with married man Luke, played by former Hollyoaks star David Tag.

Lorraine’s character Janet – Benji’s mum – is described as having an ‘old school mentality’ and struggling initially to come to terms with her son’s sexuality.

Lorraine said: “Janet doesn’t mince her words and back in her day it would have been a bit of a shock if someone was openly gay, people didn’t really come out like they do today.

“She’s had to learn along the way and be taught the things you can say and the things you can’t say. She’s got a colourful vocabulary!”
