Stacey (played by Lacey Turner) made her exit from EastEnders earlier this year after almost killing off Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) in defence of her husband Martin Fowler (James Bye) being attacked by the ruthless gangster. Since going into hiding, she was told her beloved had an affair and it seemed she might not ever make a return to the BBC soap. However, the actress who plays Jean Slater Gillian Wright, 59, has teased some details about the Christmas episodes to Express.co.uk, so could a comeback be on the cards for her character’s daughter?
The storyline which saw the loved Walford resident make her departure was to coincide with actress Lacey, 31, taking maternity leave.
Viewers did she her make a brief return some months ago as her husband Martin was being pressured by Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden) to keep his wife away from The Square.
Fearful for her wellbeing having made an enemy of the young gangster, the market trader lied to his other half he had an affair with his ex-wife Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy) and utterly heartbroken by the deception, Stacey too moved on with another man.
As Christmas descends on the residents of the hit soap, could her families crisis prompt her to make a comeback, despite the hatred she feels for Martin?
