It's 100% official; Lacey Turner is returning to EastEnders three years after leaving Albert Square.
The actress, who plays Stacey Branning, made her first appearance in the BBC1 show on November 2004, leaving the soap in 2010 after being exposed as Archie Mitchell's murderer.
And Lacey couldn't be happier about it: "I may have left EastEnders over three years ago but the show has always been in my heart, as has Stacey, and she has never really left my side.
"I am so excited about returning and seeing what the future holds for her. It's been a while since I set foot in Albert Square and I am looking forward to coming home."
We can't wait either; Stacey Slater - later to become Stacey Branning after marrying Bradley - spells trouble and excitement wherever she goes. From having an affair with her father-in-law Max, who told her he would always love her, to watching her beloved husband plummet from a rooftop, her story lines were always hard-hitting, explosive and seriously good telly.
The show's executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins said: "Stacey is one of EastEnders' best-loved characters, played by one of television's finest actors, and I am tremendously excited that Lacey has decided to return home to Walford.
"Stacey's last time on the Square was iconic. But that was just the first act. There is so much more to come for Stacey, and her return will send ripples of drama through the Square."
Lacey will start filming new scenes in January and, while nothing has yet been confirmed, we presume she will be spending much of her screen time with Kat Moon and Max Branning.
