In the 90s and early 00s, Natalie caused quite a stir in the fictional town of Walford. Fans were captivated by her character, played by the talented Lucy Speed who recently surprised everyone with her natural curly hair. At 47 years old, Lucy had played the role of Natalie Evans for a decade, making two separate appearances on the popular soap EastEnders between 1994 and 2004. During that time, she became known for her affair with Ricky Butcher, which ultimately ended his marriage to Bianca Jackson. She also had a tumultuous marriage to Barry Evans and was involved in a scandalous attempt to frame Janine Butcher for his murder.
After her eventful time in Walford, Natalie left the Square but returned for a brief stint to witness Janine's false imprisonment for the murder of Laura Beale. She then scattered Barry's ashes and bid a final farewell to the town she once called home. Since her departure, Lucy has continued to act, taking on the role of DC Stevie Moss in The Bill and appearing in various CBBC dramas such as The Dumping Ground and Jamie Johnson. She has also made guest appearances in popular medical dramas like Holby City, Casualty, and Doctors.
In August of 2024, Lucy shared a photo on social media showing off her natural curly hair, which she attributed to the weather. Fans were quick to praise her for embracing her natural beauty, with many admiring her gorgeous curls. This was not the first time Lucy had made a change to her appearance, as she had also shaved her head for a role in The Archers, a popular radio soap, where she played the character Stella Pryor. Last year, she even performed live with the cast at the Hay Festival, sharing behind-the-scenes photos and expressing her excitement for the event.
It's hard to believe that it has been over a decade since Lucy played the role of Natalie in EastEnders, but her talent and versatility have kept her in the spotlight. As an actress, she continues to take on challenging and diverse roles, keeping her fans intrigued and entertained. And even though she may have left the soap opera world, her presence still lingers as fans often reminisce about her time on EastEnders. This article was originally published in 2024 and serves as a reminder of Lucy's incredible talent and the impact she had on the soap opera community.
