“It’s so wonderful to see Elaine again! Tell her we love her!” said another, while a third added: “What a lovely picture, such a delight seeing Elaine.”

Benjamin reprised her role as Lucy Fowler for a brief stint last summer, with her character getting into some drama after learning that Keanu had faked his death.

Shortly after her temporary return to the soap, the actor was back on set filming a new movie, Look to the Light, which released digitally in the UK in May this year.The film sees her play the mother of a wannabe influencer (Charlie Goddard) whose life is turned upside-down when he’s chosen to take part in a popular reality TV show.lucy benjamin, look to the light

“I’d just finished EastEnders, and then I more or less went straight into filming Look to the Light. It was quick. We had two weeks to get it all into the can. But anyone who’s worked on a soap – it’s a kind of good training ground for that,” she told Digital Spy.

Discussing the differences between doing a soap like EastEnders and a film like Look to the Light, she shared: “It’s pretty similar in the lack of rehearsal time that you get. You might get more discussion about things, if you’re struggling with an issue or a character trait or something.

“But on EastEnders, you’ve got to let it go. You’ve got to trust your editors and story editors and producers. And that’s the thing: with a film, you know the whole story arc. You know the beginning, middle and the end. On a soap, you know your bit there and then. You might be given something to play, but you don’t know where that’s heading.”
