After Lacey Turner’s gut-wrenching live episode scenes, EastEnders fans reacted the same.
The nation watched the BBC One soap operas live episode on Thursday night to celebrate their 40th anniversary, which featured some significant twists. Over the past few days, fans have seen the “who dunnit” story involving Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) finally come to an end with Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) revealing she was Cindy’s mystery attacker.
But in true EastEnders fashion, soap bosses had big plans for the ruby anniversary episodes, with killer Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman) returning to Albert Square. He slammed into several gas canisters before attempting to flee, which caused the Queen Vic to burn in flames and collaps.
However, one scene on Thursday completely blew viewers away. Just as Martin Fowler (James Bye) made a dangerous saving call for Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner), they were struck by the crumbling building as Martin gave them a chance to escape.
Before the pair had shared their emotions, Stacey refused to leave. A massive metal beam slammed against Martin’s legs as she closed the door, crushing him as he fell from it. Stacey and Martin rekindled their romantic relations last night, asking for her to marry her husband.
Unfortunately, Stacey’s twist was bittersweet because she was informed by paramedics that Martin would soon pass away from crushed syndrome, which would cause his body to become kidney-failure and cause cardiac arrest. With a toe-curling scream that could be heard across Walford, Stacey’s worst nightmare came true.
Since Lacey’s birth, which occurred just a few weeks ago, has since been panned out by her fans as a result of her pregnancy. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan said: “Lacey Turner everyone. She just gave birth, and she is now living her heart out.
A second added: “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? Where’s this woman’s pride of Britain award? Get her a knighthood pronto”! “Master of your craft is Lacey Turner,” according to the expression. Central in two live eps, despite one being when she was ill &, one being a month after she’d given birth!! One of the best actors a soap has ever had is undoubtedly her talent! What a woman”, commented another.
Meanwhile, a third fan said: “I have nothing but pure admiration for Lacey Turner. It was incredible to return to EastEnders a few weeks after giving birth and giving her life-changing performance. It’s difficult to capture every single ounce of her emotion in a live broadcast. Take a bow, Lacey Turner. “Lacey Turner really showed up tonight just weeks after giving birth, and she did it in so many lengthy scenes before the heartbreaking scream at the end. We are not worthy”, said another.
On BBC One and BBC iPlayer, EastEnders airs on Monday at 7:30 PM.
