EastEnders actress Lorraine Stanley looked worlds away from Karen Taylor when she attended her on-screen son Keegan's (Zack Morris) leaving do.
Lorraine, 45, traded Karen's classic up-do for a glamorous curly hairstyle, which saw her tresses down and relaxed – something that viewers of the show would have to take a double glance at.
Instead of wearing a baggy jumper and her trusty khaki parker, Lorraine donned a black dress and looked incredibly chic as she stood and posed with her on-screen son at the emotional leaving party.
Lorraine donned a glowy face base and pink-hued lip, with a smart watch on her wrist.
Taking to social media, the BBC actress snapped some photographs with Zack, who has just quit the soap opera.
Posting the snaps, Lorraine penned: "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!"
She then continued: "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."
23-year-old Zack replied to the moving caption, and penned: "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."
The Keegan actor announced that he'd be departing the soap just a few days ago, when 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."
Zack has played the role of Keegan on-screen for five years and has grown on viewers greatly.
Catapulting onto our screens as a misunderstood and troubled schoolboy, Keegan has grown and developed into a much-loved character.
Zack's leaving bash comes after it was revealed that Maisie Smith, who plays Keegan’s wife, will be reprising her role as Tiffany for a cameo.
Maisie recently came out of the show, but a source told The Sun: "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."
It is not known what will happen between Tiffany and Keegan, but we're hoping they'll run off into the sunset together and return in a few years…
