Stacey Slater has become an iconic character on EastEnders, captivating viewers with her intense storylines since her debut in Walford in 2004.
Lacey Turner, the talented actress behind Stacey, is 37 years old and has earned multiple awards for her role, including Inside Soap Awards and National Television Awards.
Off-screen, Lacey balances her busy career with motherhood, caring for her three young children, the youngest of whom was born this past January with her husband Matt.
Lacey comes from a talented family, with her sisters Lily and Daisy also known actors. Let’s take a closer look at their journeys…
Who is Lily Turner?
At only 25, Lily is the youngest member of the Turner family and has followed her older sister into acting, according to Plymouth Live.
In 2010, during Lacey’s brief break from EastEnders, Lily made her debut as Shenice Quinn, the daughter of Kat’s friend Martine.
She was just nine years old when she got the role and continued playing Shenice until 2012.
Bryan Kirkwood, former executive producer of EastEnders, admitted he had no idea Lily was Lacey’s sister when she auditioned.
He recalled his surprise, saying, “Whether by accident or design, I watched a tape of a very talented young girl, and only after we made the decision was I told she was Lacey’s sister. It was a complete coincidence.”
Lily, who often uses the last name Harvey, appears to have stepped back from acting since her time on EastEnders.
Lily’s current job is unknown, but her Instagram is full of travel pictures and links to her YouTube and TikTok channels.
She sometimes appears on Lacey’s social media, and the sisters attended the National Soap Awards together in 2022.
Captioning a beautiful photo of them, Lacey wrote, “About last night… Me and my beaut lil sis. Thank you to the one and only @kymmullem for the waves.”
Who is Daisy Turner?
In 2011, Lacey’s sister Daisy entered the soap world with a role in Hollyoaks, playing Jenny Houston.
Looking back on her acting career, Daisy, who was 20 when she joined the Channel 4 show, said, “All three of us do it. Lacey and I acted as kids. Our mum, Bev, let us try everything—singing, dancing, and acting.
“I was at home with my mum and sisters when I got the call about the part. Lacey told me she’s there if I need her. I guess there’s some pressure because she’s so good at what she does. She’s been doing it for years, and I’m just getting started.”
Daisy’s stint on Hollyoaks was short-lived, with her character Jenny meeting a tragic fate at the hands of Silas in the climax of a major storyline.
Now 34 years old, Daisy seems to have stepped away from acting, and her current career is not publicly known.
