EASTENDERS actress Lorraine Stanley was a far cry from her character Karen as she attended Zack Morris’ leaving party.
The 45-year-old swapped Karen’s messy bun for relaxed curls framing her face and wore a chic black dress.
She shared a series of pictures with Zack, who has just quit playing her onscreen son Keegan on the BBC soap.
Reminiscing about their time on the soap, she wrote: “Well it’s been an absolute honour to play your Mum @_zack_morris you are a little gem!!
“You’re passion and commitment to the craft is just so impressive! I’ve laughed so much working with you & the whole Taylor/Baker famalam ,memories I will cherish forever!
“You are sooooo Talented,you’re generous,kind,professional,real,the list goes on…Go shine like the star you are 
I love you Son!! 
(Mummy 2) xxxxx.”
An emotional Zack replied: “This brought a tear to my eye and warmed my heart at the same time. Love you too Lou, so much! I really couldn’t of asked for a better on screen mum
You’ve been nothing but a blessing X”
Zack, 22, was also joined by castmates Jamie Borthwick and Tony Clay at the bash.
Speaking about his exit after it was announced this week, he said: “After five beautiful years on this incredible show, I have made the tough decision to leave Walford and give Keegan Butcher-Baker some well-earned rest.
“This show has quite frankly changed my life for the better.”
It comes as The Celeb Report revealed that Maisie Smith, who played Keegan’s wife on the soap, will be reprising her role as Tiffany for a cameo after quitting herself.
A source said: “Bosses felt Tiffany had unfinished business with Keegan that needed a resolution before he left.
“So they decided to ask her back for one episode. Viewers will have to wait to see if they manage to fix their relationship or whether the bad blood that we’ve seen between them continues.”
In the run-up to Tiffany’s exit, fans saw her devastated when she caught husband Keegan cheating on her with Dotty Cotton (Milly Zero).
She went on to date Aaron Monroe but broke up with him after he showed his aggressive colours.
She was then seen spending the night with Keegan and had hoped he would leave with her – but a mix up led to them missing each other.
