Lacey Turner Speaks Up About Stacey’s Guilt
EastEnders star Lacey Turner has finally explained why her character is not ready to face it. She said that ‘Stacey isn’t coping with his death; instead, she is destroying herself.’ She added that ‘she is feeling more guilty, rather than grief.’ Turner further said that ‘she thinks she does not deserve to attend the funeral, as she is responsible for his death.’ “I think she feels terrible, but all she wants to do is escape how she’s feeling, so she’s drinking to forget,” Lacey added.
Furthermore, when the soap star was asked if she’ll ever recover from Martin’s death, the actress replied, ‘She does not think that it will ever happen, as the two were very close even when they weren’t together.’ Lacey added that ‘whatever has happened, she needs to learn to live with it, as she has to look for her children.’
