Mitch Baker was a man with a knack for smooth-talking his way out of trouble. With his easy charm and infectious smile, Mitch quickly became a familiar face around Walford. Whether he was driving a cab or trying his hand at various odd jobs, Mitch always had a story to tell and a laugh to share.

As the father of Chantelle, Keegan, and Bailey, Mitch often found himself in the middle of family squabbles and heartfelt moments. His on-again, off-again relationship with Karen Taylor was the stuff of soap opera legend. They had a chemistry that was undeniable, even if their relationship was as unpredictable as the British weather. Despite their ups and downs, Mitch and Karen always found their way back to each other, proving that some bonds are just too strong to break.

The ultimate challenge to hit the Taylors was the tragic death of their daughter, Chantelle. Her abusive marriage to Gray Atkins and her untimely death left Mitch devastated. His bond with Keegan was particularly complex, filled with moments of tension and reconciliation. And who could forget his adorable relationship with his youngest daughter, Bailey?

In 2023, Mitch decided to leave Walford for a fresh start in Spain with Karen. His departure marked the end of an era for the Baker-Taylor clan, but their legacy of laughter and love lives on.
