Stacey to exit for Brazil as Lacey Turner takes EastEnders’ break
Back in May, Lacey explained: “It’s time for myself and Stacey to take a rest and who knows what Stacey will get up to in her time away?”
Despite this being announced months ago, little has been given away about her exit up until now.
This week, fans saw Stacey telling her daughter, Lily, that brother Sean was now living in Brazil. It seemed that Stacey was seriously considering moving out there with him.
Of course, as fans know, Max Branning will soon be making his permanent return to the square.
Could the return of her ex play a driving factor in Stacey’s decision to leave?
In a recent Interview, Lacey stated: “Max has always had this hold over Stacey that she has no control over. I don’t know what it is about those two, but they’re always drawn together.”
