As Lucy and Tony bid farewell at the airport, Tony promises Lucy that he would wait for her. Reception For her portrayal of Lucy, Taylor was nominated for Best Actress at the Inside Soap Awards of 1998. Taylor was then nominated for Best Dramatic Performance at the 1999 British Soap Awards. While expressing her disinterest, Merle Brown from the Daily Record did not welcome Lucy's drug habit being a heavily focused upon storyline. Charlie Catchpole of the Daily Mirror commented on the performances of soap actors giving his opinion on what they should be paid. On Taylor, he said she would be in his bottom paid soap stars saying she deserved £15,000, which if given to Lucy, she would use for "a new silver spoon for her nose. She's tried every drug bar aspirin". In 2018, writing about addiction storylines across British soap operas, Laura Morgan of Digital Spy listed Lucy's drug addiction storyline as one of the eight "darkest" addiction plots to be featured in a soap.
