Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner)

I actually think Nancy and Tamwar will be the next one. This would ensure that every family has a double relation in it.

Except the Foxes. Oh, Denise and Vincent after that then.

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...

Yes, me too. Endless pregnancies are dull but two Who's the Daddy's? in little more than six months really takes the biscuit.

Doesn't it just?

Of course, Stacey and Kush haven't slept together yet (as far as we know) so the baby's paternity might be straightforward. That'd be too easy though, surely.

I hope Stacey is pregnant by Martin and that she don't sleep with Kush

Stacey already has Lily so she should know all about side effects from her bipolar medicines before now, why is it being made a big deal this time around as it wasn't for Lily's birth

Maybe the writers wanted to address the issue this time since it wasn't mentioned during Stacey's last pregnancy. I'm glad it's being covered since side-effects of medication are a serious worry for anyone who's pregnant.

It should have been covered for her first pregnancy

There was so much other stuff going on round the time of her first pregnancy, like her thinking it could be Archie's as a result of the rape, her reconciliation with Bradley and the fact that she wasn't taken her medication regularly anyway.

I'm feeling more and more sure it's going to be revealed that Kush is Stacey's baby's father. My reasoning:

• Months ago, Stacey and Kush spent an evening drinking together at her flat. It was made obvious they were attracted to reach other, but we were never shown what happened next (and it's never been mentioned since - a quite glaring omission in my opinion).
• Stacey found out she was pregnant just after Shabnam did, so she knew she had no chance with Kush (and hopefully didn't want to ruin things for Shabnam either).
  
• Stacey wasn't keen on Martin, and in fact was just using him to try and make Kush jealous, until she found out she was pregnant.
  
• She's has been excluding Martin from the pregnancy and has given no good reason for it.
  
• Stacey asked Ronnie if she's ever done the wrong thing for the right reason.
  
• Martin is currently being portrayed as completely useless and not capable of being a supportive partner and father.
  
• Shabnam's baby has died and Kush will no doubt be grief stricken about the loss. Also - particularly relevant to Stacey - he'll no longer be bound to Shabnam by their child.

My last two point in particular make me think it'll all come out soon because Stacey has changed her mind about Martin being the father (and perhaps she genuinely doesn't know for sure).

I really hope I'm wrong about this!
