Lorraine Stanley would love to act out a steamy bathroom sex scene with Perry Fenwick.

The 'EastEnders' actress has opened up on her character Karen Taylor and Billy Mitchell's (Perry) racy romance, and she believes the soap's bosses are "missing a trick" by not taking the saucy scenes even further.
Speaking to Inside Soap magazine, she said: "Oh, they are just bonking everywhere, aren't they?
"If there is a skip on set Perry and I will say, 'Yep, Karen and Billy will be in there soon, having it off!'
"They're missing a trick really, because the Taylors have a double bath in their flat, and I'd love to do a scene in that bath.
"Karen would have a beer in one hand! It'd be an absolute scream!"
Lorraine - who debuted on Albert Square in 2017 - admitted she "always thought" she'd end up with Perry's character even before she landed a role on the BBC show.
She said: "It didn't surprise me. Before I was on 'EastEnders', I would imagine who I'd be paired up with if I was ever in the show, and always thought Billy.
"He and Karen are both hard-done-by characters with hearts of gold, so I'd have put them together.
"Maybe the bosses overheard me discussing it and thought, 'Ooh, now that's an idea!' "
The 43-year-old actress was initially starstruck when she first started working with Perry - who joined 'EastEnders' back in 1998 - and even struggled so say her lines when they first met.
She added: "I've got over that now, but I did a scene with him ages ago, when I first came into the show, and I couldn't get my words out.
"There are some characters who I still look at and go, 'Oh, my God, you're Billy!' or, 'You're Phil!' "
