EastEnders' Karen Taylor will furiously confront Tiffany Butcher for mistreating her daughter Bernadette in the New Year.

Viewers know Bernadette (Clair Norris) has romantic feelings for her best friend Tiffany, who has been tempted over to the dark side by bad girl Evie.

With Tiffany continuing to fall for Evie's manipulation, Bernadette will be left out in the cold as Christmas approaches and she starts to fear she's lost her friend forever.

Aware of how badly she's been letting her mate down, Tiffany desperately tries to make amends with Bernadette – but her actions land her in Karen's bad books.

Realising how upset Bernadette is, Karen implores her to open up about what’s really going on, but to no avail.

But after being tipped off by Keegan, Karen realises it’s all to do with Tiffany and wastes no time before giving her a stern telling-off.
