EastEnders star Lacey Turner has opened up about the future of Stacey and Ruby's friendship.
The pair appeared to be building bridges this week amid the Martin baby drama, though the actor said that Stacey still "doesn't trust" Ruby.
Speaking about Stacey having Ruby back in her life, Lacey explained: "I don’t think she’s very happy.

"She doesn’t trust Ruby as far as she can throw her, and the last time they saw each other, things obviously didn’t end very well and Stacey ended up spending six months in prison because Ruby lied.

"I’m not sure that they’ll ever get past that, although I think Stacey is trying to do the right thing for Martin, and she’s trying to do the right thing by his child.
"I guess there is also a bit of mother’s instinct in Stacey that sympathises with Ruby, but I think she is very wary and keeping Ruby at arm’s length."
Addressing whether their friendship stands a chance, Lacey mused: "At the moment, in Stacey’s world those bridges have been burnt, but in time, maybe it could change."

Lacey also spoke about Stacey and Eve's relationship, notably as she tries to bring Eve and Suki together, sharing that while they've had ups and downs, their bond remains close.
"What I love about Stacey and Eve’s relationship is that both of them can do things wrong, but they’re so close and they’re such good friends, that they’ll get over it quickly," she said.
"They can have a row, say what they need to say to each other, and then it’s done and they can move on.
"Eve can’t help but forgive Stacey, whereas I think with Suki it’s different because that’s a different kind of relationship. Stacey tries to make Eve see that she can’t have one rule for Stacey and one rule for Suki."
EastEnders airs on Mondays-Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes drop early at 6am ahead of their TV broadcast.
