EastEnders confirms Stacey prison release and newbie Eve arrival

EastEnders spoilers follow.

EastEnders has confirmed when Stacey Slater's long-awaited prison release is set to air, and teased the arrival of newcomer Eve, too.

Earlier this year, Stacey (Lacey Turner) was locked up after Ruby Allen (Louisa Lytton) claimed that she'd deliberately pushed her down the stairs and caused her miscarriage. Since then, she's only been seen when other characters, like Martin Fowler (James Bye) and mother Jean (Gillian Wright), have paid her a special visit.

Now though, new spoilers from the BBC have revealed that Stacey will return to Albert Square on October 25, before the family starts plotting against Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal).

Stacey won't be alone when she returns to Albert Square, either. It turns out that her cellmate inside was being let out at a similar time – and, with the fast friends having decided to stick with one another, Stacey has invited Eve (Waterloo Road actor Heather Peace) back to Walford.
