Karen Taylor

Karen Taylor is the ex-wife of Richard Taylor and the mother to their four children; Darlene, Ali, Ethan and Georgina. In 2002, Richard embarked on an affair with widowed Liz Burton, which led to the breakdown of their marriage. Richard decided to move to Hollyoaks with Liz, Ali and Darlene, whilst Ethan and Georgina remained with her.
Karen visited the village in September 2005 for Ali's funeral, when Ali was fatally struck by a car after accidentally killing Stephen Mackintosh (in self defence). During the funeral, Liz's son Justin Burton (who was charged with Stephen's murder) arrived, and got into an argument with Karen. Justin told the mourners that Ali stabbed Stephen and fled, which lead to his death. Karen refused to believe him and returned home. After Darlene severed all of her ties in the village, she moved to be with Karen in February 2006.
