Former EastEnders boss had no idea child star was Lacey Turner’s sister

We’ve known Lacey Turner for years as the iconic Stacey Slater in EastEnders,

but did you know her sister also featured in the BBC One soap?

While many have wondered if Lacey and her onscreen daughter Lillia Turner are

related (spoiler alert, they’re not,) her actual sister Lily Harvey appeared in the

show where she played the role of Shenice Quinn in 40 episodes from 2011 to 2012.

Shenice was the daughter of Kat Slater’s (Jessie Wallace) friend Martina Quinn (Tamara Wall). Martina had a drinking problem and Kat and Alfie (Shane Richie) bonded with Shenice who had had a difficult life because of her mother’s behaviour.

Lily was nine years old when she joined the cast of EastEnders and used her mum’s surname for her acting career, which meant producer at the time Bryan Kirkwood failed to realise the connection to Lacey when he watched an audition tape of her!
