    \u201cIt's time for Friday's visit to Albert Square as Karen Taylor says goodbye to Walford,\u201d penned a second. A third added: \u201cHonestly I just hate what they\u2019ve done to Karen she was such an iconic character and now they\u2019ve made her pathetic.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Mitch had begged Karen to stay and fight, but she had refused and asked him to come away with her and the kids. Mitch had confronted Keanu in the Square where terrible home truths had been said. <\/p>\n

    Harvey and Rocky had rallied round Mitch in The Vic and had advised him to stand by his woman. Mitch had rushed off to stop Karen before she had gone. They had finally admitted they loved each other and had left together, as horrified Keanu had realized they\u2019d taken Phil\u2019s cash with them.<\/p>\n

    Kathy had gone to see Sonia, who had been waiting for an update from Reiss on Debbie\u2019s condition. Sonia had been ashamed as she had confided in Kathy that she had felt haunted by Debbie and had feared their IVF attempt would be scuppered by this latest emergency. <\/p>\n

    Later, broken Reiss had returned home after a difficult night at his wife\u2019s bedside, and Sonia had comforted him. Stacey had remained uneasy about Eve\u2019s silence and had gone to see Suki to ask if Nish might have known about their affair and taken revenge on her. <\/p>\n

    In particular, Stacey had believed it was out of character for Eve not to check in with her about how the kids were. Later, Stacey had gone to Jack to ask for his help in tracking down Eve, and he had agreed to help her. <\/p>\n
