[edit] About Casey Anne
Casey Anne Rothery was born in 1993. From the age of three months to ten years old, Casey Anne played Lucy Beale in the English BBC soap EastEnders.
Casey Anne is from Mottingham, South East London and often commuted to play Lucy from the family's other home in Marbella.
In 2004, Casey Anne (along with Joseph Shade who played twin brother Peter) were sacked from EastEnders and replaced with new actors (Melissa Suffield and James Martin) as EastEnders producers intended to develop their characters and wanted more mature actors for this.
[edit] Storylines
Casey acted in many dramatic storylines including her mother Cindy's attempted kidnap of her and being separated from her half brother and twin brother who Cindy did kidnap, her mother returning to fight for custody of her and her brothers and learning of her mother's death in prison. For a while Casey Anne played the only daughter of a single dad. Edward Savage and Joseph Shade took over the role of her brothers and the three children often acted together. Perhaps the biggest storyline Casey Anne acted in was when Ian pretended Lucy was dying of cancer in order to emotionally blackmail second wife Melanie into marriage. Mel did marry Ian but they split up when she found out the truth. Other storylines Casey Anne has appeared in are gaining another stepmother, Laura, coping with her half-brother moving to New Zealand to live with his natural father, Laura and Ian splitting up, her baby half-brother Bobby coming to live with the family after Laura's death, being offered drugs by older boys, being bullied by Demi Miller and witnessing a dragon ride collapse at a fair party.
