Are EastEnders stars Lacey Turner and Lillia Turner related?

Mother and daughter duo Stacey (Lacey Turner) and Lily Slater (Lillia Turner) have had some big stories during their time in EastEnders – but are the two related?

Lillia, 15, took on the role of Lily four years ago and during that time the character has given birth to a daughter with neighbour Ricky Mitchell (Frankie Day).

The baby, Charli, was named after pop star Charli XCX which touched her mum who thought she’d paid tribute to her much-missed uncle Charlie (Derek Martin).

Meanwhile, Albert Square stalwart Stacey has been embroiled in her own drama after being complicit in the murder of Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) on Christmas Day.

Many fans have been left wondering whether the onscreen mother and daughter are, in fact, related in real life

Helping five other Walford women bury his body under the floor of the café, the secret looks set to be exposed in upcoming scenes.

As the on-screen mother and daughter share the same last name in real life, many fans have been left wondering whether the pair are actually related.

Here’s what we know.

Are EastEnders stars Lacey Turner and Lillia Turner related?

Despite sharing the surname Turner, the pair are not actually related.

In an even stranger coincidence, Lacey does in fact have a sister named Lily Harvey who appeared in the soap from 2011 to 2012 as Shenice Quinn.

Shenice was the daughter of Martina Quinn (Tamara Wall) whom Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) met in Spain.

When she auditioned for the role, the soap’s then executive producer Bryan Kirkwood stated he did not know that she was related to the Stacey Slater slar.

‘Whether by accident or design, I sat down and watched a tape of a very talented young girl,’ he said at the time.

‘And it was only after we decided that I was told it was Lacey’s sister. Lily got the role entirely on her own merits.’

Lacey’s other sister, Daisy Turner, has also lived in soapland.

Also in 2011, Daisy joined the cast of Hollyoaks as Rebecca Massey, one of serial killer Silas Blissett (Jeff Rawle)’s many victims.

At the time of her casting, Daisy spoke about how Lacey and her family encouraged her pursuit of acting.

‘Lacey and I acted as kids. Our mum, Bev, let us do everything – singing, dancing and acting,’ she said.

‘I was at home with my mum and sisters when I got the call to say I’d got the part. Lacey said if I need her, she is there.

‘I suppose there is a bit of pressure because she is very good at what she does. She has done it for years and I am just starting out.’

What storylines are incoming for the pair?

Next week’s episodes will see Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) return from Australia and discover that the murder weapon used to kill Keanu has gone missing.

Gathering ‘The Six’ together to find out what has happened, the women are rocked by the news that the café floor has caved in and their secret looks set to be exposed.

As the residents reel from the news, the women have to hatch their next plan to keep it under wraps.

Also in the next week, Lily will be roped into spending time with Jade Masood (Elizabeth Green) so that Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman) can keep an eye on her.

Jade’s dad Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo) has been tampering with her medication in recent weeks to prevent her from being well enough to move to Pakistan.

After pinning the blame on Lily’s grandmother Jean (Gillian Wright), she was forced to flee her home for fears he would report her to the police.
