Bernie Taylor (Clair Norris) is set to make a tragic exit in upcoming EastEnders scenes in the midst of a harrowing murder story.
Following the collapse of the cafe floor, the discovery of Keanu Taylor’s body causes plenty of drama and speculation among the Albert Square residents.
Viewers will remember that Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) stabbed Keanu to death on Christmas Day, with The Six later burying his body beneath the cafe.
Since then, they have tried their best to keep the secret, with only Johnny Carter (Charlie Suff) discovering the true extent of events on that fateful night.
One person who is particularly affected by the discovery of Keanu’s body is his sister, Bernie, and the residents are quick to gather around her in her hour of need.
Poor Bernie has been really struggling in Keanu’s absence, believing that he had held The Six at knifepoint on Christmas Day before fleeing, as the women had told police.
Following Sharon Watts’ (Letitia Dean) arrest in upcoming scenes, Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) speaks up in defence of her, which leaves Felix Baker (Matthew Morrison) pointing the finger at him.
With Karen Taylor back in Spain, having given up her search for her missing son, Bernie decides to pay her a visit, in order to break the awful news.
Karen moved abroad with the rest of the family just before Christmas, after being framed by Keanu for Albie’s kidnap.
After charging a ransom of £50,000, Karen took the money and ran, much to Phil’s horror.
Will Bernie ever return to Albert Square, and will Karen join her?
