New Lucy Beale

New Lucy BealeNew Lucy Beale, It has been almost 18 months since we last saw her and just look how much she has changed. EastEnders are bringing back Lucy Beale to Albert Square next week as she returns home for Pat Butcher’s funeral. But Lucy is now played by actress Hetti Bywater, 17, and has been tipped to wreak more havoc in Walford in upcoming episodes as she settles back in after more than a year living away in Devon.

With preparations for Pat’s send-off well under way in next week’s episodes, Ian (Adam Woodyatt) tells some white lies to girlfriend Mandy (Nicola Stapleton) – claiming that Lucy and Peter are both too busy to attend.

As Lucy comes face-to-face with Mandy, she also demands to know who this stranger is. Far from impressed over her father’s choice of partner, it looks like Lucy will be going head-to-head with Mandy – leaving Ian caught in the middle.

When Bywater’s casting as Lucy was announced in November, she commented: “I’m really excited to be joining such an iconic show as EastEnders, especially becoming part of the Beale household.

“I’m looking forward to finding out what’s in store for Lucy and seeing what she’s going to get up to when she returns to Walford.”
