EASTENDERS

CUSTOMER SERVICE

You have to wonder if Keegan has a target on his back; yet again he finds himself in trouble not of his own making, when a customer at his food truck accuses him of being a drug dealer. Poor lad. Crimes against fashion are his only real misdemeanours, and he’s not alone. Tiffany jumps to his defence, but he’s furious she’s trying to fight his battles. Life gets worse when the customer returns and destroys the van, upsetting Keegan (pictured, with Tiffany and Iqra). Frankly, it’s an improvement; Keegan should go down on bended knee and be grateful he didn’t have to pay for a re-design.

At least the week presents a good opportunity for Karen and Tiffany to bond (inset), when the pair discuss Keegan. It’s not often you can get Karen to shut up long enough for her to listen to anyone else (but I’ll bet she never misses the pizza delivery man ringing the front doorbell, though), so this is a small miracle in itself. It’s encouraging that the in-your-face character has been given more range over time, but those moments are still few and far between. It would be good to see the versatile actress Lorraine Stanley, who plays Karen, be given more expansive storylines.
