The actor, who played volatile Sean from 2006 to 2009, has returned for a series of guest over the past few years – but hasn’t been back to Walford since 2022. Lacey, meanwhile, made her own exit last year, leaving the soap shortly after the soap’s 40th anniversary. Grieving the loss of ex-husband Martin Fowler, Stacey departed Albert Square for pastures new… to see her big brother Sean, in fact. Rob took to Instagram today to share news of his reunion with Lacey, sparking fresh hope that he might return to EastEnders. Could Rob and Lacey’s reunion be an omen of things to come?
