EastEnders star Lacey Turner, who became a household name through his exceptional role as Stacey on the BBC soap, is pregnant with her third child. The famous actress shared the beautiful news with her fans earlier this week. It’s amazing news, but this makes us wonder what will happen to Stacey once Lacey takes maternity leave. The speculation is that another prison storyline might be in the works. Read on to know more about it!
Stacey Slater To Take A Break, What Will Happen Now?
Lacey Turner, best known for her portrayal of Stacey Slater on EastEnders, is going to have a third kid, and she announced it earlier this week with a cute Instagram post. The actress took to the social media platform and posted a family shot with her two little ones, revealing it all. Fans can see Lacey’s kids Dusty and Trilby holding onto a pregnancy scan, and the whole family looks excited as they pose together on the beach.
As great as this news is, fans of the actress cannot help but wonder how the show will handle Stacey’s absence on the show. Now that Lacey is pregnant, she will need to take things easily and soon leave the BBC programme for her maternity leave. The last time Lacey was expecting, her character was sent down for GBH after being falsely accused of attacking Ruby Allen.
Viewers of the show now think that the character might go through the same kind of storyline as she prepares to take another break. While discussing this on Twitter, one fan wrote, “Looks like Stace is heading to prison again,” and another said, “I’m not ready for Stacey to end up back in prison again.” Some of Stacey’s fans would hate to see her back behind bars, so they had their own speculations about her absence.

They suggested that the fan-favourite character could have a quiet break where she is simply visiting her cousin Lynne Hobbs. No matter what the storyline, one thing is for sure: Lacey will bid goodbye to Walford for sometime.
And we are glad that Lacey is doing all better now and is going to have another small kid running around soon. We at Soap Opera Daily congratulate Lacey and her family on this great news. For more updates on EastEnders, stay tuned with us! Share your thoughts on Stacey in the comments below!
