Fans of the Slater family are about to get what they really, really want as the female-heavy clan are about to be reunited on screen for the first time in two years.
And while EastEnders viewers can expect fireworks, drama and intrigue, one Slater member is about to have her life turned upside down…
You’ve guessed it – poor Stacey!
Lacey Turner, who plays Stacey, has revealed that the return of the Slaters has a massive impact on her character’s life – and not in a good way.

In fact, she admits their arrival ruins Stacey’s life!
In an interview with Metro.co.uk, the 29-year-old actress explains: “The Slaters coming back ruins Stacey’s life really. They just come back, cause a load of trouble and then expect Stacey to put it all back together.”
But behind the scenes, Lacey admits she LOVES having the cast back together – including Gillian Wright who plays Jean Slater, Laila Morse who portrays Big Mo and Jessie Wallace, aka Kat.
She says: “When I heard they [the Slaters] were coming back, I was very excited. I love being around them. I love working with them. And I think it’s lovely for Stacey to have her family back.
“We’re quite useless working together because all we do is laugh. We spend most of our time laughing and trying to get some work done.”

She also believes the Slater family are popular because “they’re just a bit nuts, aren’t they? They do what they want, say what they want and go around causing trouble!”
Yep, that just about sums it up!
