Lacey Turner, best known for her role as Stacey Slater on the popular BBC soap EastEnders, is set to embark on a new adventure as the host of a brand new podcast. Titled "We Started Here," the podcast will delve into the beginnings of some of the most beloved television and film icons, both on and off the screen. Through conversations with these stars, Lacey will take listeners on a journey back to their humble beginnings in the world of soap operas.
But this podcast is not just about the guests' success stories. Lacey will also share her own experience of breaking into the industry over two decades ago, when she landed the role of Stacey as a teenager. With her fellow soap stars, she will discuss their auditions, interviews, and the ups and downs of their careers. Listeners will also get a glimpse into the skills and determination that helped these stars achieve international success.
Lacey is thrilled to be a part of this project, especially given her personal connection to soaps. "EastEnders holds a very special place in my heart," she shared. "It was my very first acting job, and although I have been fortunate enough to explore other roles, for me nothing compares to working on a soap." She is excited to have the opportunity to talk to other talented individuals in the industry and to explore how soaps have launched their careers.
Kris Green, Training Executive at BBC Studios Drama Productions, also expressed his enthusiasm for the podcast, highlighting the often overlooked role that soaps play in the entertainment industry. "Soap has always had the most extraordinary ability to entertain the nation," he said. "But few see what goes on behind the scenes and many forget the stars whose careers it launched." He believes that shows like EastEnders serve as a "university of the screen industry" for both actors and those working behind the camera.
Fans of soaps will certainly not want to miss out on this exciting new podcast. Not only will they get to hear from some of their favorite stars, but they will also have access to exclusive spoiler galleries, videos, and interviews by joining Metro's WhatsApp Soaps community. With Lacey as the host, this podcast is sure to be a hit, and we can't wait for its release later this year.
