Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner)

[Perdita]

Life is set to get even more complicated for EastEnders' Stacey Branning when she falls pregnant in an upcoming storyline.

Stacey (Lacey Turner) has recently become romantically involved with Martin Fowler, but has also shared a passionate kiss with Kush Kazemi, who she has strong feelings for.

Although Stacey ended her fling with Martin (James Bye) following their night together, upcoming scenes will see her reluctantly try and give the relationship another go.

Viewers will have to tune in to see how and when Stacey's pregnancy story unravels, but it will no doubt make the ongoing love square plot involving her character even more complex.

Last night's episode saw Kush's fiancee Shabnam Masood learn that she was expecting a baby after she was admitted to hospital following an attack.

EastEnders will air these scenes next month.


oh, a Who Is The Daddy storyline ... very novel!

FFS what is the matter with DTC and his team? Shabnam pregnant is bad enough but Stacey too is unimaginative and cheap!!!

The only logic I can think of at the moment is that they want to create a child with better blood links than Lily, who could've been an actual Branning if they'd waited a few months, but instead has a nobody as a father. Ryan hardly made a lasting impression and is only related to Whitney. In this case, the baby would be Martin's.

One has to wonder why Lily and Tommy were ever invented with 'twists' on who the father was when they just go and make the mothers pregnant again a few years down the line by more important characters. Who's the next return? Little Mo for Billy after Lola leaves so she can get pregnant and right that paternity wrong (Freddie) too?

I believe in subsequent episodes Sharon becomes pregnant after a one night stand at the Albert with Vincent, Roxy becomes pregnant after affairs with both Charlie and Dean, Ronnie becomes pregnant after getting drunk one night and jumping into bed with Vincent (him again?), Nancy becomes pregnant after sleeping with Tamwar but having a lapse one night with Fat Boy. Then there's Carol - Billy or Buster? And what about Abs? After her break up with Ben she falls immediately into the arms of Jay......

Gosh! It will all be so exciting. Who are the daddies?

I wouldn't be averse to Stacey and Martin being in a real relationship and having a baby. As you say, it would be an important future character with lots of family ties to the square. However, as Perdita said, there's almost certainly going to be a "who's the daddy" element given the ongoing love "square" (which is already unwatchable in my opinion).

I'm really at my wits' end with EE at the moment!

Do you know what Parkerman, it almost wouldn't surprise me if all your predictions come true! I don't know whether to laugh or cry right now...
