EastEnders' Lorraine Stanley senses late Dot Cotton actress June Brown on set of BBC soap

Lorraine Stanley still senses the late June Brown on the set of EastEnders.

The actress, 46, plays Karen Taylor on the BBC One soap, with her character now the boss at the laundrette. Before her, Dot Cotton - played by the late June - was in charge of the infamous business for over five decades before she exited the Square.

Karen has taken over the laundrette and whilst Lorraine says she'll "never fill Dot Cotton's shoes", she admits she feels the "presence" of the character when she's working on that particular set. Lorraine just hopes she can do June's character's legacy "justice".
