A group of EastEnders icons have appeared together in a sweet snap – and called for another reunion. In the new pic, former stars Clair Norris (Bernie Taylor), Patsy Palmer (Bianca Jackson), Lacey Turner (Stacey Slater) and Natalie Cassidy (Sonia Fowler) are seen enjoying the summer weather alongside current star Harriet Thorpe (Elaine Peacock).
“Holding onto summer….in need of another @patsypalmerofficial party #summer #girls #party #eastenders #family,” Clair captioned the picture.
However, a few of them then suggested in the comments that a further reunion was in order after Natalie wrote: “Loved it so much!”

“Reunion? ❤,” Clair responded, Patsy adding: “Always with my spiritual angels magic family.”
“Love ya,” Clair beamed back.
Lacey, who is about to appear on Strictly Come Dancing, wrote in a separate comment: “Oh yes I’m here for it.”
“Me too always beauties,” Patsy shared in response, before Clair supportively said they have “gotta celebrate that strictly success”.
Lacey was confirmed for Strictly back in June, the actor saying at the time: “I am so excited to being making my way to the dance floor this year to be a part of Strictly Come Dancing! I am a huge fan and can’t quite believe I will be taking part and not watching at home this year! I look forward to meeting everyone and learning a new skill!”

Meanwhile, back in May Clair marked one year since her departure as Bernie, sharing a carousel of photos on Instagram.
“It’s been a year today since I filmed my last scene as Bernie and hung up her purple coat,” she wrote. “Where has that time gone?! I still remember my first day very clearly. I was obviously nervous, excited, my brain questioning, ‘Is this even real’, and a lot of self doubt… had they picked the right girl?
“However, I left with so much confidence and belief in myself and that’s what this job gave me in abundance. I am still forever grateful for having eight years on Enders. I learnt from the very best and it has given me a platform to keep inspiring & be inspired.
“A trip down memory lane and what a whirlwind memory to have.”
