Stereotypes in EastEnders

In Eastenders the character Karen Taylor follows a typical part in a British soap opera which is a single parent with children in a small household. Karen Taylor plays a very interesting character, because when she first entered Albert square many people expected her to be the type of person that steals and has no value or respect. However, she proved the other characters wrong in the soap as she does not steal from other people and fends for herself, what people thought about her wasn't true.
