She wrote: “Happy 35th @bbceastenders!
“I had such an amazing time and loved Lauren Branning with all of my heart! I miss you Lozza, maybe see you again one day!
“Amazing week of eps congrats everyone involved!
“Some pics of my time on the show! Wow. Memories.”

A second wrote: “You have to come back, especially now Peter is too!”
Another said: “Come back to EastEnders. We miss Lauren Branning.”
Jacqueline took over the role of Lauren from Madeline Duggan in 2010.
During Jacqueline’s time playing Lauren, her character struggled with a drinking problem, gave birth to her first child and discovered her late boyfriend Steven had been cheating on her with her sister, Abi.
On Christmas Day 2017, Lauren and pregnant Abi tried to get their dad Max off the roof of the Vic.

Both sisters ended up falling off the roof and, while Lauren survived, Abi was declared brain stem dead.
After Abi delivered her daughter, who was later called Abi Jr in memory of her mother, Max and Tanya made the decision to turn off her life support.

Lauren has been mentioned in this week’s episodes as Max learnt that Lauren and Peter had split up.
