She asked after their son Arthur, who Kush is looking after. Stacey also asked after Jean, but instead of telling her the truth, Kush made out everything was fine.

Viewers went wild at the audio cameo and hope to see Stacey return to Albert Square soon.

Jean’s struggles with mental health

Over the last few weeks, Stacey’s mum Jean has been struggling with her mental health. After refusing to take her bipolar medication, Kush and Shirley snuck the pills into her dinner.

But it ended in disaster as Jean ended up in hospital with lithium poisoning. After throwing Kush, Mo and the kids out of the house, Jean has been living alone.
