Get ready EastEnders fans, because one of the show's most beloved characters has finally broken her silence after four decades on Albert Square. Jane Slaughter, who has played the silent but lovable Tracey since the very first episode, has just launched her own Instagram account and fans are ecstatic.
Tracey has become a fan-favorite over the years, with her presence in Walford's Queen Vic pub often explaining the absence of other characters and allowing them to be at the center of drama elsewhere. Originally known for her flower stall on Bridge Street Market, Tracey was hired as a barmaid by Frank Butcher in 1989 and has been a mainstay ever since.
Now, after almost forty years on the show, actress Jane Slaughter has joined social media and fans are eager to get to know the real woman behind the iconic character. In her first Instagram post, she shared a video of herself enjoying some sun abroad and thanked fans for their years of loyalty and support.
For those who may not know much about Tracey, it's not surprising considering her limited dialogue on the show. However, over the years, we have learned a few tidbits about her mysterious character. We know she's married with a son and grandchildren, and she once had a one-night stand with Dennis Rickman. She's also been fired and rehired from The Vic multiple times and has even been the subject of a protest by Walford residents.
Despite being a quiet character, Tracey has had her fair share of drama, including being hit over the head with a crowbar by Sam Mitchell and admitting to sleeping with Phil Mitchell, who she claims was the best she's ever had. And for those who may not remember, Fatboy once gave his survival tips for living in Walford, one of which was to avoid chatting with Tracey because she "goes on, and on, and on, and on."
But even with her limited dialogue, Jane Slaughter has made a lasting impression on viewers and has been praised for her portrayal of Tracey. In an interview, she explained that it would be wrong to suddenly change her character into a talkative, fully-developed person with a family and last name. It just wouldn't make sense.
So thank you, Jane, for bringing Tracey to life for the past four decades.
