EastEnders in 2017.From unexpected pregnancies to dramatic feuds with other residents, the Taylors have become firm favourites on the square among viewers - and have also brought with them plenty of shocks and drama.One such shock was the murder of daughter Chantelle Atkins at the hands of her abusive husband Gray Atkins, with his crimes finally exposed over two years later.This week saw Chelsea recieve a worrying letter from Gray - and it seems that he is intent on causing more havoc even though he is not on our screens any more.While viewers wait to see what the next chapter will bring for the Taylor family, Daily Star takes a look into the lives of the actors who have played the family - past and present.Lorraine Stanley joined EastEnders in 2017 as Taylor matriarch Karen, and since then, has been involved in huge storylines including defending son Keanu after he got Sharon Watts pregnant and dealing with the discovery of daughter Chantelle's body.However away from our screens, Lorraine's life has been far less dramatic - but just as interesting.After making her acting debut in the film Gangster no.1 in 2000, she has since gone on to star in huge TV series and films including Suffragette, Made in Dagenham and in Krays biopic Legend, alongside heart throb Tom Hardy.She also has a forgotten soap role in EastEnders too, as long before she walked onto Albert Square as Karen Taylor, she also played a character called Thelma Bragg for eight episodes in 2016.Although the actress prefers to keep her personal life private, she does share occasional glimpses into her home life with partner Mark Perez, who she has been in a relationship with since 2014, and with who she has a daughter called Nancy.Lorraine shared a beautiful

Steve Clarke Crime has always been part of television’s DNA, but in global marketplaces, true crime is enjoying unprecedented levels of success across the streamers and on more traditional outlets.Earlier this year, Shonda Rhimes’ “Inventing Anna,” starring Julia Garner as the fake heiress Anna Sorokin (aka Anna Delvey), became one of Netflix’s biggest shows ever.“Inventing Anna” is the tip of TV’s latest crime wave as producers and commissioners hope to find the horrifying stories that might one day take their place alongside such TV true crime successes as “ The Jinx,” “ The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story,” “Don’t Fuck With Cats” or “Making a Murderer,” the Netflix series that took true crime to the streamers. “The fascination with true crime has never been stronger,” says Dan Korn, VP of programming at A+E Networks U.K ., whose channels include Crime + Investigation.

Champions League have been branded 'just like the European Super League' by Karren Brady.Brady has slammed UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin and his proposals for the competition, which are currently set to come into affect for the start of the 2024/25 season.Under the changes, the Champions League will expand from a 32-team group stage to a 36-team league stage for it's opening round proper.Two of the additional four qualification slots are currently set to be awarded to club's based on their historic performances, which has received backlash from across Europe.Brady has not held back in her response to the plans, with the West Ham vice-chairperson slamming Ceferin and the rest of the European Club Association.In her column for The Sun on Friday, Brady wrote: “He and a group called the European Club Association are nodding to a rich boys’ club who don’t like the idea of fair competition at home leaving them without a ticket to further big bucks abroad.”She later addressed the currently undetermined method of choosing which team's will play who in the new league stage, adding: “My deep suspicion is a ranking system will be fixed to give an extra boost to the continent’s aristocrats’ chances of reaching the knockout stage of 16 clubs.”Teams will play 10 matches in the opening round, five at home and five away, but it is not yet known how their opponents will be selected.What do you make of the proposed changes to the Champions League?
