Through its multi-decade run, EastEnders has accumulated a number of characters and phenomenal stars in its kitty. However, it is quite difficult to fit them all together on the canvas at once.
Thus, it is understandable that our favourite characters keep meeting off-screen from time to time. This just got true after we saw Lucy Benjamin reuniting with her former co-star Elaine Lordan and shared it on social media. Read on to learn more about it!

She wrote, “Oh I love this woman with all my heart!” This surprising post sent the rumour mill into a spin and fans are expecting a double return on the show soon.
A flurry of fans were delighted over this reunion and showered love on them. One of the fans wrote, “Oh, this brings me so much joy!! It’s so lovely to see her looking so well. This is amazing.”

Fans will see Lucy in the role of the mother of a wannabe influencer whose life becomes chaotic after he participates in a popular reality TV show.
While speaking to Digital Spy, Lucy said, I’d just finished EastEnders, and then I more or less went straight into filming Look to the Light. It was quick. We had two weeks to get it all into the can. But anyone who’s worked on a soap – it’s a kind of good training ground for that.”
