Lily Slater (also Branning and Fowler) is a fictional character in the BBC soap opera EastEnders and is portrayed by Lillia Turner. Lily's first appearance in the serial is in episode 4023, originally broadcast on 23 June 2010, in which her birth is depicted.[1] Lily is the daughter of Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) and Ryan Malloy (Neil McDermott).[2][3] Stacey and Lily both departed on 25 December 2010 at the conclusion of the Who Killed Archie? storyline. On 6 December 2013, it was announced that Lacey Turner would return to the soap to reprise her role as Stacey, and would begin filming in January 2014 – thus meaning Lily would be re-introduced into the serial.[4] Lily temporarily departed the serial on 2 August 2019 once again after Stacey attacks Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) in a panic to save Martin Fowler (James Bye).[5] Lily along with her family returns in episode 6133, originally broadcast on 21 September 2020, two weeks after the soap's return to transmission – this time with Turner in the role.[6][7] Lily's most recent high profile storyline was in 2023 when she became pregnant at just 12 years old after sleeping with her close friend and neighbour, Ricky Mitchell. She gave birth in the episode broadcast on 5 September 2024 to their daughter, Charli Slater.
