stacey!

[adbjcs]

who here likes stacey. im not talking about fancying her i mean liking her character. i find her funny at times but sometimes i dont like her. what do you think?

[chance]

cant stand her,hope shes next for the chop,shes just a poor mans janine.

[Behemoth]

I like her, even though it is blatently obvious that she is a replacement for Janine. I hope she gets some decent storylines soon.

[adbjcs]

i didnt really know janine well enough to compare. ive only really started watching ee this last year or so. i saw her kill barry then get took away for lauras murder. i dont think stacey is capable of murder. (or is she?)

[Toxic]

I think she's great :)

[badactor]

I think she's one of the better charactors, and the actress that plays her, has real talent.

[crazygirl]

she is a good actress

[Torrie]

I can't stand her - she's one of those two-dimensional characters that I just can't really warm to, even as a bitchy character. Janine was fab, but Stacey is nowhere near that league and the storylines which should have generated some sympathy for her didn't really do enough. It sounded good on paper, but it just doesn't seem to have worked out as well on screen.

[badactor]

Yes janine was a excellent charactor, but remember people thought the same about her at first, to understand and to be more sympathetic to the stacey charactor look at her childhood and her appalling mother...

I repeat the kid that plays her has a lot of potential, in a lot of the scenes she's in she acts the socks off actors a lot older than herself.

Shes too good for eastenders..

Runs for cover. :rolleyes:

[Torrie]

The issue of her childhood does arouse sympathy - in theory, but I don't think it really did the job on screen. I know it explains why she's desperate for attention, but when she gets it, she throws in back in everyone's faces. Her bitchyness is out of proportion to her motives, if you know what I mean. Acting-wise, she's by no means the worse, but I don't think she's particularly outstanding either.

[crazygirl]

she has had a bad childhood and just wants a proper family thats why she gets so jelous of zoe, she just needs some love and stability in her life

[Torrie]

I know that's what we're supposed to think but it doesn't come across well though - it seems that she wants Charlie (softy that he is) to spoil her and treat her like a princess. If she wanted a proper family, she'd make more of an effort to get on with Zoe and the rest of them too - then instead of just one person, she'd have loads. The Slaters look out for each other and even for their girls exes, particularly Garry and Alfie and Stacey could be part of that if she tried. Zoe didn't make it easy for her, but Stacey did do some pretty bitchy things. And Lucy can't understand why she seems to hate her now - she only wanted to be her friend but Stacey had to push her away too. And Yolande has been really good to her, but she nicks money off her and, although she seemed to feel bad about it, there wasn't much sign of remorse when she was initially caught out.

I agree that Stacey just wants to be part of the family. I'm glad the whole fake mugging came to an end tonight, it had gone on long enough. I was glad Charlie wasn't too tough on Stacey, I know she behaved badly but he seemed to understand how she was feeling tonight, and have sympathy for her.

I think the fact that Stacey admitted she had done wrong tonight mean't she did have some conscience. She stood there and took the blame, rather than making Lucy out to be a liar.

I really like stacey. she is a very good actress. i think they bought her in as a replacement for janine but she will never be as good as her.

[booboo]

I agree with you too. The young actress who plays Stacey (I think her name is Lacey something) is a real find. I don't like the character - but the actress plays her part really well. You could imagine a little minx like that in real life (in fact one of my son's school mates is VERY like her!) What does anyone else think? Is she a keeper? ;)

[Torrie]

It was reported in one of the papers or mags (sorry, can't remember which one) that Lacey is unhappy at EE because she doesn't like playing a bitchy character and doesn't want people to think she's actually like that in real life. Don't know if it's true or not, but maybe she has gotten grief from some people who can't tell the difference in the actress and the character. Could cause problems for her career though if the actress herself is having trouble separating work from reality.

when i heard they were bringing in anew slater i thought oh know what are they doing but i think they have done really well. she fits into the family perfectly!! she is definaletly a keeper.

I like her, she s one of the better younger characters with a bit of personality. I don't see why everyone keeps referring to her as a replacment for Janine, she's imilar to janine when janine was her age but that would have been about ten years before she left the show. she's nothing like the janine that everyone remembers. Or not that i remember anyway.
Stacey has her own character. I don't think she wants to be part of the slater family. She just wants to be centre of attention and spoilt and given a free hand by Charlie. Getting out of going to school being one of them. i think she'd only have been allowed to leave school at 16 after easter in the school year that she was 16 but then as she'd have come from a different area and school thats how she's got away with it and disappeared from the system. She's much better suited in the shop and creating havoc with the Mickey and stirring it up with Lucy.

Shes a duplicate of Janine but younger but just doing naughty childish stuff

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

I think she even looks like her!
