Another said: ‘The producers said “can you come back for the live episode even though you’re on maternity?” But all Lacey Turner heard was “can you come back for the live episode and give one of the best performances of eternity?”.
EastEnders’ fans have heaped praise on Lacey Turner for her powerhouse performance as Stacey Slater in Thursday’s live episode, just weeks after she gave birth.
Fans watched through tears as Stacey said her final goodbyes to ex-husband Martin Fowler (James Bye), who tragically became the second life to be claimed following the explosion that ripped through the Queen Vic earlier this week.
A second posted: ‘Incredible work from James Bye and Lacey Turner to make a live episode look like it’s an everyday occurrence to them.
‘So you’re telling me Lacey Turner filmed a stunt heavily pregnant, gave birth, came back a few weeks later and carried a live episode?
