Jean Slater struggles to cope with Stacey’s sex work in EastEnders
JEAN Slater has been blissfully unaware of her daughter Stacey’s online activities.
The cleaner played by Gillian Wright is in disbelief when she finds out Stacey has dabbled in sex work next week in EastEnders.

And it’s too much to bear for her mother Jean.
It all begins when Stacey takes her daughter Lily (Lillia Turner) to school after she refuses to go due to bullying she has been facing as a result of her teen pregnancy.
Stacey tries to cheer Lily up by arranging Amy Branning to come over for a sleepover later on and she then furiously shares her concerns with the school headmaster.
She’s invited to join the parents’ committee that same evening to help stamp out bad behaviour at school but her appearance causes a severe commotion with a group of pupils – they all have access to her Secret Cam page.
An embarrassed Denzel Danes (Jaden Ladega) and Nugget Gulati (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury) tell Amy (Ellie Dadd) who passes the word on to Lily before she arrives home and outs a mortified Stacey in front of the horrified Slaters.
Reeling from the shock of being exposed, Stacey can’t bring herself to face her family but Martin Fowler (James Bye) soon gives her the boost she needs to face down the judgemental parents.
