Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner)

She's one of my favourite characters i've loved her from the start. She's the last person I'd want to see go, its a real shame. I wish they could have had Bradley and Stacey leave together, it would have been a much happier storyline, and would have allowed both of them to return together like Kat and Alfie are.

Yes that would have been nice

Maybe Sean will return and they will leave with him

I agree, it would have been much better that way. It would have made us viewers very happy.

But that would not have been an explosive storyline that rocked the square

Too true!

I wonder who will take over from Lacey as EE's top actress are they grooming the actresses who plays Lucy or Zsa Zsa for this I think not

Kat is a similar personality to Stacey, though far more annoying in my opinion.

It was only a matter of time before Lacey decided to quit the square, despite what was said after Bradley's death. There is nothing left for Stacey now. Good luck to Lacey she is one of a few soap characters who have a chance of making it in the real world of acting without going down the reality tv road.

EastEnders star Lacey Turner has hinted that she will be searching for challenging roles when she leaves the soap later this year.

The actress announced last week that she is stepping down from her part as Walford's Stacey Branning after almost six years with the show.

Recent reports have speculated that Turner is hoping to pursue a movie career once she films her final Albert Square scenes.

However, the 22-year-old is quoted by The Mirror as saying: "It would be so exciting to work in films but only if it was an interesting part. I'm an actress first and foremost.

"Celebrity life isn't important - it's the challenge of the character and the scripts."

Turner's screen mother Gillian Wright (Jean Slater) will also bow out of EastEnders before the year is over.
