EASTENDERS’ Stacey Slater is desperate to win estranged husband Martin Fowler back when she returns.
The cleaner – who is played by actress Lacey Turner in the BBC soap – will make her comeback next week following a year off for the actress’ maternity leave.
Viewers know that Stacey fled the Square after braining Phil Mitchell and leaving him for dead.
In the meantime she split with husband Martin and moved on with a man called Jerome – while Martin has moved on with her best friend Ruby Allen.
Stacey’s return is set to put the cat amongst the pigeons – and now Lacey has revealed what she wants.
She said: “I think for Stacey, she just felt angry towards Ruby – that’s supposed to be her best friend.
“She’s really sad about her and Martin. In her heart of hearts she does still love him and I think it’s quite hard her to watch them together.
“But in true Stacey style, she will just put on a front and pretend she doesn’t care.
“She thinks that it’s not that serious and that he’s there for the money. She definitely doesn’t think it’s going to last forever.
“It’s a bit of a joke to her and she would take Martin back tomorrow if he said he wanted to come back.
“I think she’s still very much in love with him. Which is so sad. Poor Stacey!”
But while she wants Martin back – Stacey is just too bitter to consider a reunion with former pal Ruby.
“I don’t know, this is a pretty bad one,” Lacey added.
“That’s like the number one rule for being best friends – you don’t take your best friend’s husband! So I don’t know.
“It’s very sour at the moment and it looks like it’s going to stay sour for quite a long time. It’s become quite bitter and I can’t really see a way out.”
