STACEY Slater is trying to move heaven and earth to take care of her mother Jean.
All her worries will be confirmed as she’s set to make a shocking discovery about her next week in EastEnders.
Jean Slater (played by Gillian Wright) has been acting out, leaving some residents concerned about her well-being.
However, none of them are more worried than her daughter Stacey (Lacey Turner) who is more than aware the cleaner is going through a manic episode.
As she picked up on the first signs this was the case, the owner of Stacey’s Baps has gone above and beyond to get Jean to a doctor – but the latter insists she is fine and is in no need of help.
Stacey leaves her mother with no choice next week and tells Jean she has a doctor’s appointment the upcoming Friday.
