EastEnders Vicki Fowler actress’ mum is soap co-star and fans will gobsmacked<\/p>\n

EastEnders<\/a>\u2019 Alice Haig has become a firm favourite playing Vicki Fowler – but it turns out she has a rather famous mum.<\/p>\n

Actress Alice joined the BBC soap last year<\/a>, taking on the role of Vicki. Fans will recall that Vicki was originally played by Scarlett Alice Johnson and was last seen in 2004.<\/p>\n

However, Vicki made her Walford comeback last year, played by Alice. And it didn\u2019t take the character long to get involved in some big storylines<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Especially at the moment, as in Tuesday\u2019s episode (March 10), she found out that her brother Mark Fowler (Stephen Aaron-Sipple) has been working with a drug gang, and only returned to the square in January to sniff out a mole that has been informing on the gang.<\/p>\n

The mole turned out to be Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) who revealed the truth to Mark at Walford Common, goading him into a brutal fight.<\/p>\n

Soon enough, Vicki and Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) arrived to intervene and put a stop to Mark\u2019s attack. Talking to Mark, Vicki was shocked to discover the extent of Mark\u2019s involvement in the gang, and worried about her safety.<\/p>\n

Away from the soap Vicki actress Alice lives a far less dramatic life. What\u2019s more, it also turns out that she comes from a rather famous family, including two actor parents.<\/p>\n

Her mum, Julia Gray, who performs under the stage name Jane Galloway is also an actress, and even appeared on EastEnders<\/a> in 2006. She played the role of Dr. Weisberg. The TV star has also had minor roles in Doctors, Casualty, The Bill, Bad Girls, and The Vicar of Dibley.<\/p>\n

In 2002, David appeared in the Hollywood film Two Weeks Notice as Howard Wade, alongside Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant. He has also had roles in a host of popular television shows, such as: Marple, Doc Martin, My Family and Midsomer Murders.
