Fans may remember actress Laurie Brett as Jane Beale from EastEnders. The legend has not been seen onscreen for quite a while now. However, she did share a personal update with her fans recently. Laurie confirmed that she has undergone a surgery. The former EastEnders star took to X and Instagram to share a picture of herself from a hospital bed.

“We have to ring fence & protect our @NHSEngland #whittingtonhospital from any politics.. An all party agreement. Thanks especially to Nicole for post op care.” The EastEnders actress thanked her caretakers in her X and Instagram post. Furthermore, she tagged their accounts in her caption for visibility- ” @thegirlsmusical @UnitedAgents & my darling @garyaknichols for feeding and looking after me,” she shared.

EastEnders Stars Send Love

As soon as she shared the post, her comments section was flooded with messages from love and support from friends, collogues and EastEnders fans. Heather Peace, popular for playing Eve Unwin on the bbc One soap was quick to respond to the post – “Much love to you Laurie. Hope you’re fully recovered soon xxx.”

Another soap star , John Partridge, known for playing Christian Clarke, replied to her post – “Honey!!!! Are you ok? Sending so much love X.” Many other EastEnders stars also flocked to Laurie Brett’s comments section to share their love and concern. The names include – Emma Barton, Cliff Parisi, Ricky Norwood, Aaron Sidwell, and writer Daran Little.

The last time we saw Laurie on EastEnders was back in 2017, when she crossed swords with vengeful Max Branning. The man tried to take her down by setting the cafe on fire. However, Jane managed to escape the ordeal. But she eventually had to leave Walford after Max threatened to harm Bobby if she didn’t. And we haven’t seen her ever since.
