Tracey is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Jane Slaughter. Tracey has appeared as a significant extra since the first episode, which was broadcast on 19 February 1985, when she was seen working on the flower stall in Bridge Street Market but moved on to becoming a barmaid at The Queen Vic pub in 1989. Slaughter was not credited in the role until 1 May 1986, which was the first episode in which she spoke. Tracey's storylines have included brief sexual encounters with other EastEnders characters, consisting of Dennis Rickman (Nigel Harman), Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden), Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) and fellow extra, Winston (Ulric Browne), friendships with Debbie Bates (Nicola Duffett), Peggy Mitchell (Barbara Windsor), Sean Slater (Robert Kazinsky), Shirley (Linda Henry) and Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), and Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth), and is the godmother of Debbie's daughter, Clare (Gemma Bissix). She has also worked multiple different jobs including being a florist on the market, a barmaid and cleaner in The Queen Vic and at The Albert, and a caterer in Ian's chip shop. She has been sacked from The Queen Vic three times, by Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons), Linda and Woody Woodward (Lee Ryan).
