Jean Loves Eastenders

EastEnders departee Gillian Wright has described her time with the BBC soap as a "privilege". 
At the end of last month, it was announced that the 50-year-old actress - who plays bipolar sufferer Jean Slater in the Walford serial -
will bow out later this year like her screen daughter Lacey Turner (Stacey Slater).

Speaking on the red carpet at this year's British Soap Awards, she said of her departure: "Things can't last forever. I am an actress and it's all a big adventure, isn't it? It's wonderful to have been in it for so long. [Jean] wasn't meant to be a regular character, so to have crept in slowly, then become a regular... for the audience to love and for me to be able to play something a little quirky, fun and also bipolar has been a privilege."
