View Full Version : Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner)
I wonder who will take over from Lacey as EE's top actress are they grooming the actresses who plays Lucy or Zsa Zsa for this I think not :p
no of them they are useless
EastEnders departee Gillian Wright has described her time with the BBC soap as a "privilege".
At the end of last month, it was announced that the 50-year-old actress - who plays bipolar sufferer Jean Slater in the Walford serial - will bow out later this year like her screen daughter Lacey Turner (Stacey Slater).
Speaking to Digital Spy on the red carpet at this year's British Soap Awards, she said of her departure: "Things can't last forever. I am an actress and it's all a big adventure, isn't it? It's wonderful to have been in it for so long. [Jean] wasn't meant to be a regular character, so to have crept in slowly, then become a regular... for the audience to love and for me to be able to play something a little quirky, fun and also bipolar has been a privilege."

STACEY Slater bids an emotional farewell to Max Branning at the airport as she leaves Walford behind.
Worried that the police may find out about her killing Archie Mitchell, she opts to leave the country with her baby Lily to start a new life abroad.
Stacey, played by Lacey Turner, gets Max (Jake Wood) to drive her to the airport and he begs her not to leave as he confesses he is still in love with her.
But Stacey won't listen and wants to leave all her recent troubles behind and start afresh elsewhere.

I am not so sure.. if she was just a fling.. why try it on with her on her wedding day??? it was over months before that so why push it again?? I think Max likes her a lot more than he says.

EastEnders star Lacey Turner has admitted that her character Stacey Branning is underestimating Janine Malloy as she embarks on an affair with the superbitch's new husband Ryan.
Stacey's secret relationship with Ryan (Neil McDermott) hots up in next week's episodes after she decides to stay in Walford rather than leave as she originally planned.
The mum-of-one's change of heart comes after Ryan tracks her down and things get steamy between the pair in an abandoned car park.
Speaking to All About Soap about the possibility of Janine finding out, Turner insisted: "Stacey's not frightened of Janine. She just sees her as a bit of a pain and obviously doesn't realise how dangerous Janine can be."
Meanwhile, asked what Stacey wants from Ryan, the actress replied: "They decided at first Ryan could have his marriage and his bit on the side, but Stacey's tired of not knowing where she stands.
"Then, while Ryan's still working things out in his head, Stacey decides she doesn't want anything too heavy so tells him their arrangement can stay as it is. She doesn't know what she wants!"
Last month, reports suggested that Janine will try to poison Ryan in an act of revenge over Stacey in a forthcoming storyline.
EastEnders Neil McDermott has admitted that Ryan Malloy wants a proper family with Stacey Branning.
Ryan is currently trying to track Stacey (Lacey Turner) down following her disappearance from Albert Square with their daughter Lily. McDermott told What's On TV that Ryan would leave his wife Janine for the mother of his child.
"And I think Stacey now wants him to be there as the father of her child," he said. "You've got to remember that Ryan was given away as a child by his mother, so he doesn't want the same thing to happen to his daughter."
Discussing Stacey's secret that she killed Archie Mitchell, McDermott said: "He is really confused by her. He never quite feels she's being honest.
"He knows she's hiding a lot. However, he can see she's very vulnerable and he wants to protect and take care of her. I don't think that would change if he found out the truth."
EastEnders star Lacey Turner hasn't ruled out trying her hand at a "normal job" after leaving the soap.
The actress says goodbye to the role of trouble Stacey Branning this Christmas after six years in Walford.
Discussing her plans for the future, Lacey told the Radio Times: "I'm terrible at doing nothing, but I'm going to try really hard, at least to begin with.
"I find my job quite strange, really. All my friends have got normal jobs and went to uni. I feel I missed out on some things, but gained so much in a different way. So I might try some of those things and see what happens. I want the freedom to go whichever way I want."
But John Yorke, controller of BBC drama production, told the publication he had "quite a few" projects in the works with a view to having Lacey in the starring role.
"I don't think Lacey knows how good she is," he added.
The 22-year-old has picked up a string of television awards during her time in Albert Square, including Best Actress at this year's British Soap Awards.
Lacey Turner has revealed that she will miss EastEnders after six and a half years of playing Stacey Slater.
The 22-year-old, who will be leaving the show at Christmas, said that she has "grown up" on the soap.
She told TV Times: "Now I've got to the end, I don't know why I'm going. I feel like I've grown up here, so I'll miss it all. The people, the buzz of it; everything. I might cry in a minute."
When asked what her favourite storylines have been, Turner replied: "I loved all the Bradley and Stacey stuff from the beginning. The fact that the geek falls in love with the tart; I just love the way their relationship went.
"I also liked Max and Stacey's affair because it was spread out over a year, so I got the chance to play a lot of different emotions. And the bi-polar storyline was great because of the effect it had on so many people; I learned so much doing that."
The actress explained that she decided to leave the show because she feels ready to "move on".
She added: "I've been here for six and a half years and I feel like it's time to move on and try something else. But I don't have a plan.
"I'm terrible at making decisions so I don't know what I'm going to do yet."
EastEnders' Lacey Turner has admitted that she was honoured to be given a mental illness storyline on the soap.
Speaking to the TV Times about her favourite plots during her time on Albert Square, Turner highlighted Stacey Branning's bipolar disorder and sectioning.
"It’s a huge honour when you receive a big storyline like this," she said. "But as it's reflecting something many people face, you really want to do it justice."
She continued: "That's what makes it slightly daunting at the same time."
Turner, who will leave after six and a half years later this month, added: "EastEnders was my favourite show and I never thought in my wildest dreams that I’d work here one day."
The storyline recently received an award from the Mind Mental Health Media Awards for the second year in a row.
Lacey Turner has admitted that she would like every episode of EastEnders to be broadcast live.
The actress, who will exit her role as Stacey Branning later this month, was unmasked as Archie Mitchell's murderer in the soap's 25th anniversary live episode earlier this year.
"I loved doing the live episode," she told TV Times. "If it were up to me, every episode would be live, but I'm not sure the rest would agree with that!"
EastEnders star Lacey Turner has revealed that she made a deal with Charlie Clements to leave the Square at the same time as him.
The actress, who plays Stacey Branning in the BBC One soap, admitted that when Clements's character Bradley was killed off in the live episode earlier this year, she knew it was time to go.
She told Fabulous magazine: "Charlie and I always said we'd go at the same time. For quite a while I'd been saying I was going to go and kept realising I wasn't ready. But when Charlie said he was going last year I was like, 'Right, OK, I'm going too'."
Speaking of Stacey's departure, she said: "The whole thing hints at everything she's been through in the last six years and it all comes together. I'm really happy with the way it's all worked out.
"I'd like to be more like Stacey in some ways," Turner continued. "She's so forward and says what she wants to say when she wants to say it. I'd love to be able to be more like that, but I just don't have the guts."
EastEnders actress Lacey Turner has been praised by her co-stars ahead of her departure from the soap.
Turner, who plays Stacey Branning, announced that she was quitting the show in April and will leave our screens on Christmas Day.
Charlie Brooks, who plays Janine Malloy, told PA: "I am sad, but excited for her. There are so many great opportunities that are going to come her way. I think it's the right time for her to go."
Neil McDermott, who plays Ryan Malloy, added: "It's been great for me to have the chance to work with her over the last three months. She's a naturally gifted actress and hopefully she'll get loads of opportunities out there.
"She can do anything she puts her mind to. Acting comes really naturally to her. Whatever she chooses I'm sure she'll be successful."
EastEnders bids farewell to one of the most popular characters in its history this Christmas as Stacey Branning departs the soap in dramatic circumstances. It's been a big year for the Walford favourite as she's been revealed as Archie Mitchell's killer, lost her beloved husband Bradley, become a mother and - most recently - been involved in a battle with twisted Janine for Ryan Malloy's affections. With the romantic drama expected to reach a climax over the festive period, DS recently had a chat with Lacey Turner to hear about her departure from the role of Stacey.
What is the main attraction of Ryan for Stacey?
"I think it's just purely a physical attraction - she's really attracted to him and he's really attracted to her! They haven't been able to keep their hands off each other, so it's been a really strong attraction."
Is Stacey also attracted to the idea that she could possibly have a stable family life with Ryan?
"Well, I don't think that's the main reason that she likes him - it's just that she's really, really attracted to him. He's the first person who's come along since Bradley, and I don't think Stacey has really known what she wants from the relationship. There's been times where she's wanted everything from him, but also times when she's told him that she just wants a bit of fun. But I think the constant thing has just been a physical attraction that she can't stop!"
It's not the first time that you've been involved in a love triangle storyline as you previously had the Max plot - how has this one compared?
"I think they've been very different. The first love triangle was between Stacey, Bradley and Max - but I genuinely believe that Stacey loved Bradley and will always love Bradley. I think her relationship with Max is just a really, really strong friendship - a bit of a weird friendship! They've just got such a strong connection, they understand each other and they're the best of friends. With this Ryan storyline, it's only really been a physical attraction. However, as they happen to have a baby, that's helped as they've had to have a lot of contact because of the child."
We've just seen Stacey and Ryan declare their love for each other in The Vic - does that mean their feelings have now become stronger?
"I think Stacey is just so caught up in the whole affair. I don't think that Ryan ever planned for it to be public - it's just one of those things that comes out, and it came out in front of everyone in The Vic! In the moment, I think Stacey does think she loves him, but we'll have to wait and see whether that's really the case."
If Stacey did decide that she wanted a future with Ryan, do you think it would have to be away from the Square because of all the repercussions?
"I think that if she wanted a future with Ryan, she could have it anywhere. It's there - it's like a ready-made family for her to take. But I don't know whether that's what she really wants and that's one of the questions in the build-up to Christmas Day."
Stacey hasn't really learned her lesson when it comes to affairs, has she?
"Obviously not, and I don't think she ever will! After saying to Kat that she wasn't that person anymore, she's then gone and had an affair! She's taken someone's husband for the second time! She just can't seem to find someone who isn't taken! So no, she really hasn't learned her lesson."
The fact that the other woman is Janine must make Stacey feel a lot less guilty, though!
"It probably does, yeah. She genuinely hates Janine after all that she's done. Janine has called the social and just been a nuisance, really! Stacey is not scared of Janine and doesn't really feel anything towards her. I don't think she really cares about Janine at all."
Janine does start getting her revenge as she plans to play Lauren's recording of Stacey's confession in The Vic on Christmas Eve - how would Stacey react if the truth about Archie was revealed?
"It's been going on for ages now and she's been carrying this massive thing around with her - if the truth came out, she could lose her child and she could spend a long time in prison. For someone to know - and for her secret to be told to so many people - would be a shock."
The full circumstances surrounding Stacey's exit are being kept secret, but do you think your final storyline does the character justice?
"Yeah, I was really pleased with it - really pleased with the way that it all panned out. I don't want to say too much as that would give it away, but I was definitely happy with it. It is interesting and it's got hints of all the stuff that I've done with Stacey over the past six and a half years."
Can you give us any more hints?
"There's some things that happen on Christmas Day that people won't expect. There's things that I read and I thought, 'God, really?' I had to read it a few times to get my head around it! But I really enjoyed doing it and I'm very happy with it."
Stacey has been such a popular character - can you pinpoint why she's been so appealing to the viewers?
"I'm not really sure, to be honest! I love her because she's just a normal girl. Although she's had really awful things that have happened to her, I think the audience really understand her. She's not a bad person - she's a fun person. She can be loud, she can be in your face - but I've also been given the opportunity to show the other side of Stacey. I think that she has a massive heart, and she just wants to be happy and have a normal life. That hasn't happened so far, but I think people like her because she just is who she is - and she just gets up and carries on!"
Was leaving EastEnders a difficult decision to make?
"Yeah, it was massive! It took me a long time - I thought about it for about a year and it was a huge decision to make. I spent most of my teenage years here, I've grown up here and I've loved being here. So to go away from here is scary but exciting. I just feel like it's something that I have to do - if I don't go now, I'd stay here for as long as they'd have me. So I had to be a bit brave - and I've done it now, so we'll see what happens!"
What has Neil McDermott been like to work with on this Stacey and Ryan storyline?
"He's been fantastic. From the minute he came in, I really thought that Neil was a great actor. I've enjoyed working with him and I think we work well together. It's been nice because I've often worked with a lot of the same people, so it's great to start working with someone new. You build up a rapport and then you know what the other person's going to do to a certain extent. He's such a nice man, I can't tell you - he's really lovely and a great actor."
Can you name any particular highlights from your time at EastEnders?
"I've enjoyed every storyline I've done, but particularly the bipolar one. That one allowed me to learn more and it had a really great reaction. There were lots of people who watched those episodes and realised that they had bipolar themselves. That meant a lot to me - that people had watched it, taken information and learned from it. I think it's so great that EastEnders can do things like that - they show things that do happen in real life and they help people. And also, working with Gillian Wright on that storyline was just fantastic - because she is a fantastic actress. I learned so much from her. So the bipolar storyline was one in particular that I felt honoured to do."
Would you say that your storylines this year have been particularly strong? The Stacey and Archie reveal in the live episode was certainly memorable!
"Yeah, I never saw that coming! Not even on the day! I'd made my whole family put bets on Sean! I was so convinced that it was Sean! That was another time where they trusted me with such a massive thing. And being involved in the live episode was a once-in-a-lifetime thing - it's such a huge cast and it's like a huge machine here, so the fact that it ran so smoothly was great. I felt very proud to be part of that - and to be able to achieve that as a team felt really good."
And you were also unwell on the day of the live episode!
"I wasn't well at all! I hadn't spoken for two days - I was told that I wasn't allowed to speak for two days because I'd lost my voice. Everything had just closed in my throat, but five minutes before the live episode, I thought to myself that I'd just have to be naughty and just speak. I was so scared that I was going to open my mouth when it came to my line and that nothing would come out! So before the episode I had to test my voice out, and fortunately something did come out! In the actual episode, I managed to last the full half an hour, but I had nothing left after that for a couple of days."
Did being ill make it difficult to prepare for the live episode?
"Well, I was sent home from one rehearsal because I was unwell, and I felt like I didn't know the script. I didn't know that Stacey was Archie's killer then, but now I know why they were so scared and so quick to get me to the doctor! But then, I didn't even know whether it would matter whether I was in it or not!"
Are you glad that Shane and Jessie have been back for your final months on screen?
"Yeah, it's nice to have them back. They're such big, bubbly characters - both the characters and Jessie and Shane themselves. They're a lot of fun and they're so good at playing the characters that they play - nobody could play them like they do, so it's great to have them back."
Kat has brought that bubbly side of Stacey out as well, hasn't she?
"Yeah, definitely! She's brought the little party girl out in Stacey, and the mouthy, upbeat and fun side of her after all the dark years that she's had."
How have you found playing Stacey since she became a mother?
"It's definitely been different as an actress. One thing is that it's like suddenly having another prop - it's not just you, because you have to constantly think about where the baby's going to be all the time! And you constantly have a pram, or a dummy or something else! It's different because, without a baby, you have a lot more freedom to do what you want. But it's also really nice to have the baby when you're filming. It's also been good to show how someone so young can be a mother - as it happens a lot."
Do you think EastEnders can carry on going from strength to strength in the months ahead?
"Yeah, I hope so! The show's had a bit of a revamp and it's getting better and better. I hope it carries on doing really well."
Can you tell us anything about your future plans?
"I don't make plans - I don't like them! (Laughs) I've got Being Human coming out in January, but I just like to take each day as it comes and see what happens."
Finally, is there anything you'd like to say to the EastEnders fans who've supported you over the years?
"Yeah - I can't thank them enough! They've made Stacey who she is and they've helped me so much. When people write in and they're supporting you, it's just life-changing. Without those people, there wouldn't be a programme and there certainly wouldn't be a Stacey, so I can't thank them enough. I'm forever grateful for the support they've given me."
Stacey Branning bows out of EastEnders after six years on Christmas Day and these pictures show the first glimpse of the drama in store in her final episode.
In last night's edition of the Walford soap, viewers saw Stacey's nemesis Janine Malloy (Charlie Brooks) discover that she killed Archie Mitchell, giving her some powerful ammunition in her ongoing war with the new mum.
With Janine now having a recorded confession from Stacey (Lacey Turner) in her possession, it seems as if she has everything she needs to get rid of the Albert Square favourite and destroy her blossoming relationship with Ryan (Neil McDermott).
As Christmas Day dawns on the Square this Saturday, fans can expect events to reach a climax - making Stacey desperate to flee.
With her world crumbling around her, Stacey ends up on the roof of the Queen Vic - the exact spot where her late husband Bradley lost his life back in February - leaving viewers to wonder what she will do next.
However, whether Stacey will get out of the Square safely or depart Walford in a much darker fashion remains to be seen…

EastEnders legends Janine Butcher and Stacey Slater are returning to the soap for a special episode, the BBC revealed today.
In a coup for the Walford show, Charlie Brooks and Lacey Turner have agreed to reprise their roles after both recently finished work on significant movie projects.
While Brooks has just completed filming for Tim Burton's 'twisted' new film version of Mary Poppins, in which she takes the lead role, Turner recently shot her last scene for the much-anticipated new movie adaptation of Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra, which will see her play the complex Egyptian queen.
With Ryan Malloy (Neil McDermott) still on the Square and enjoying a new relationship with Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons), Stacey and Janine's bitter rivalry over the barman looks likely to re-emerge in spectacular circumstances.
An EastEnders spokesperson said today: "When Stacey left Walford on Christmas Day 2010, nobody could have imagined that she would one day return and have a chance of getting even with Janine. Fans will remember that it was Janine who drove her out of the Square all those years ago, but they'll have to wait and see whether she'll get her revenge or if there'll be another triumph on the cards for Janine."
Lacey Turner commented: "I'm thrilled to be returning to EastEnders for a one-off episode. I've really enjoyed the stage and film work that I've done since leaving the show, but everyone knows that Stacey Slater is the role that I remember most fondly."
Charlie Brooks added: "Janine will be an absolute nightmare once she's back! Everyone will remember that she left the Square in a flash after winning the lottery in 2017, and her new-found wealth has made her behaviour even worse. When she comes face-to-face with her old enemy Stacey and former husband Ryan, Janine can't resist the chance to cause some mischief."
Firm details of how and why Stacey and Janine both end up back on the Square have yet to be confirmed. However, it is thought that their returns could tie in with the aftermath of the upcoming earthquake stunt which will see several Albert Square residents left in jeopardy.
This is a fictional news article. It is just a bit of fun and purely speculation on what might happen in years to come.

I'm just sorry to see Stacey go. I had to warm to the character but she has been fab. The square has lost one of its most flamboyant characters. ( good thing Kat came back)
Good acting by both Lacey and Charlie, they did have some chemistry between them.
Ex-EastEnder Lacey Turner has admitted she was nervous about filming her first role outside the soap.
The award-winning actress, who played Walford's Stacey Branning for six and a half years, can be seen as Lia in two episodes of the new series of BBC Three's Being Human.
Asked if it was nerve-wracking to take on a new part, she said: "Yeah, it was, it is the only other TV job I've done since EastEnders. It's so different, we shoot 14 scenes a day [in EastEnders], we spend about half and hour to an hour to do a scene.
"I go to Cardiff for Being Human and you have the whole day to do a scene. It was nice because you got to play around with the character and try different things.
"The cast and crew were so lovely. The crew made me feel so welcome. I'd never been to Cardiff, never filmed anything other than EastEnders and they made me feel at home straight away, I really enjoyed it."
She said the set-up of the show gave her a chance to approach acting differently.
"As an actress you sort of want to try different things really, you want to explore different ways of doing things. On a fast show like EastEnders you don't have the time to do that - you have to decide which way you're gonna do it and stick to it. So it was nice to have the time to be able to think, 'I'll try this to see if it's better'.

EX EastEnder Lacey Turner is facing another doomed romance - as Frankenstein's bride.
Lacey, 22 - the soap's unlucky-in-love Stacey Branning - plays the monster-creating scientist's fiancée in a live BBC3 musical next month.
Gothic spectacular Frankenstein's Wedding will be filmed with an audience of 9,000 dressed as wedding guests at historic Kirkstall Abbey, Leeds.
The tale sees bride Elizabeth (Lacey) fuss over her big day while Victor Frankenstein (Andrew Gower) is more concerned with his murderous creature (David Harewood).
Lacey hopes to be helped by her experiences in EastEnders' live 25th anniversary episode, in which Stacey was revealed as a killer and her hubby Bradley died in a rooftop fall.
She said: "This is a fantastic project. I'm looking forward to it being live - it's definitely an adrenaline rush."

Lacey Turner has said that she left EastEnders because she was curious about other roles.
The 26-year-old actress played Stacey Slater from 2004 to 2010, with the character's last appearance on Christmas Day that year.
Asked why she left the show, Turner told Metro: "I woke up one morning and thought, 'My god, I've been here six years'. I was curious about what else was out there.
"It was my first job. I'd done theatre when I was 11 and wanted to go back to it and explore other things. I thought if I didn't leave when I did, I'd have been there forever."
She continued: "I had such a lovely time there and was blessed with great storylines. I loved Stacey as a character, made lovely friends and had the best seven years of my life."
Turner admitted to missing EastEnders and added: "I spent so much time there - more than I did at home.
"I miss playing Stacey but it's nice to have a life and be able to do things I didn't have time to do before, such as go to the hairdresser or dentist. Just normal things.
"I can't believe it's been two years since I left. It feels like yesterday. I don't know whether I'll ever go back to EastEnders. I'd certainly never say never because I loved being Stacey."

Former EastEnders star Lacey Turner has refused to rule out a return to the BBC soap.
The Stacey Slater actress, who is currently starring in ITV2 witch drama Switch, said that she is appreciating being involved in other projects.
She pondered to Soaplife: "Would I ever go back? Never say never, but I'm so enjoying trying out different things. I'm also enjoying working on projects like Switch that are fun."
However, she added: "Playing a character like Stacey who had such intense and dramatic storylines was quite draining. I had to cry so much as Stacey that I found it hard to cry in real life."
Of her role in Switch, the star claimed that playing a gay character wasn't challenging, adding: "I've never played a lesbian before but I gave it my best shot and it was fine.
"No different to playing a straight character, really - and that includes the kissing scenes. I mean, a pair of lips is a pair of lips. Although obviously women don't have stubble."
Recently in an interview with Digital Spy, Turner revealed that working on Switch has been more enjoyable than EastEnders.

EastEnders will welcome back one of its most popular characters next year as Lacey Turner reprises her role as Stacey Branning.
The actress will return to filming at the BBC One soap in January after three years away from the programme.
Stacey was last seen fleeing the country after Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) exposed her as the killer of Archie Mitchell.
While exact details of her comeback storyline have yet to be revealed, show bosses are promising that Stacey's shock return will be one to remember.
Turner commented: "I may have left EastEnders over three years ago, but the show has always been in my heart, as has Stacey, and she has never really left my side.
"I am so excited about returning and seeing what the future holds for her. It's been a while since I set foot in Albert Square and I am looking forward to coming home."
EastEnders' executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins added: "Stacey is one of EastEnders' best-loved characters, played by one of television's finest actors and I am tremendously excited that Lacey has decided to return home to Walford.
"Stacey's last time on the Square was iconic. But that was just the first act. There is so much more to come for Stacey - and her return will send ripples of drama through the Square."
Turner's original stint as Stacey ran between 2004 and 2010, during which time she won over 30 awards for her portrayal of the character.
Stacey was also at the centre of huge storylines, including her affair with father-in-law Max (Jake Wood) and the shock reveal in EastEnders' 25th anniversary live episode that she was responsible for Archie's murder.
Since leaving EastEnders, Turner has appeared in a number of other shows including Being Human, True Love, Bedlam, Switch and Our Girl.
As well as returning to EastEnders, Turner will be filming a five-part series of Our Girl next year.

Pretty sure it was reported as I seem to remember Stacey having to keep out of view on the way to the airport so that the police wouldn't see her while they were passing in the other lane on route to the Square.
EastEnders star Lacey Turner has been pictured filming her return scenes as Stacey Branning.
The actress worked on location yesterday (January 13) with co-star Jessie Wallace, who plays Stacey's cousin Kat Moon.

While full details of the storyline won't be confirmed until nearer the time, it appears that Kat is travelling on a bus when she spots Stacey walking down the street nearby.
Stacey was last seen fleeing the country after Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) exposed her as the killer of Archie Mitchell, so the revelation that she is back in London will no doubt shock Kat and the rest of Albert Square.

I think Lauren also knows she killed Archie
Lauren does yes. She pushed Stacey to admit it because she thought that there was something going on between Max and Stacey. Other people that know for certain that Stacey killed Archie are Janine (Lauren gave a recording to Janine when she saw Max with Stacey after he told her there was nothing going on,) Ryan, Jean, Kat, Alfie, Mo, Ronnie and Roxy. Janine told the whole of the Vic that Stacey killed Archie but Max had replaced the recording with his own so there was no evidence of Stacey confessing.
Kat and Alfie knowing were implied I think and from the spoilers, I'm thinking that the writers have decided Alfie doesn't actually know yet.
As far as the Square was concerned, Stacey ran because Janine stabbed herself and said it was Stacey.

That is why Stacey must be safe to come to the Square. Janine but go all out and confess she didn't as she hasn't got anything else to lose and nothing to gain.

I cant see Ronnie and especially Roxy being happy at her return
She was born 23rd June 2010 so is just over 3 1/2 years old
I'm wondering if either Ronnie or Roxy will try to get the police involved because they think it'll cause problems between Alfie and Kat.
Only one article has said that Stacey returns with Lily. I did wonder if she might have died off screen.
Yeah Lily is roughly half a year older than Tommy and will be due to start school this September.

EastEnders star Lacey Turner has admitted that returning to the show was an easy decision.
The actress has reprised her role as Stacey Branning after two years away and upcoming episodes of the soap will see her return to Walford after her cousin Kat Moon spots her from a bus and attempts to track her down.
Speaking about her return to the show, Turner heaped praise onto executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins and revealed that it was him who encouraged her to return to the role.
Turner said to theRadio Times: "I'm such a massive fan of Dominic's. He was a huge part of Stacey's writing. So when he came back to EastEnders and asked me to return, it was sort of a no-brainer.
"I trust him with Stacey's life! To get the chance to work with Dom again - I didn't even really need to think about it.
"I had a great time exploring how other places work. Everything is a lot slower and there's a lot more rehearsal time. But I prefer the way we do things at EastEnders: doing 14 scenes a day and working at a pace. That works better for me."
Turner also revealed that she was overcome with nerves the night before she returned to filming, worrying that she had forgotten how to play Stacey.
She said:"Before I started filming again, I was pacing around my flat thinking, 'what if I've forgotten what she's like?' Then I got to work and I was shaking doing my first scene.
"After that, it was OK because Stacey just sort of came out! It helped that my first scenes were with Jessie Wallace and Shane Richie. We always have such a laugh and Shane's so funny."
Turner also admitted that she would like to see the return of Stacey's mum Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) and her uncle Charlie (Derek Martin).
She said:"Having scenes with the Slaters is my favourite thing, though. It would be great if we could get Derek Martin and Gillian Wright back. And I'm just loving playing Stacey again - you don't know what she's going to do next.
"She could react to something calmly or she could blow up in your face. You just don't know. She's an unlucky rebel with a massive heart."
I had high hopes for her career when she left Eastenders, because she seems to be a good little actress, but in the few things I've seen her in she's just played characters that are, basically, Stacey Branning. On that basis I'm not surprised she's headed back to Albert Square. I just hope they've got a decent storyline lined up for her and doesn't become a useless spare part like Letitia Dean.
her return has been underwhelming so far
EastEnders will air Lacey Turner's permanent return to the soap in late summer, Digital Spy can confirm.
The actress's character Stacey Branning will be back on screen as a regular character following Turner's decision to reprise the role.
Earlier this week, fans were surprised as Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) mentioned that Stacey had been sentenced to five years in prison for the murder of Archie Mitchell.
However, more twists lie ahead in the storyline as an EastEnders spokesperson today told Digital Spy that Stacey will be back on screen towards the end of the summer.
Show chiefs clarified the situation as some viewers were confused following news of Stacey's sentence.
Stacey's return scenes will also see her reunited with on-screen mum Gillian Wright, who is reprising her role as Jean Slater for a short stint.
In real life, Turner needed time away from EastEnders as she has been busy filming the new five-part series of BBC One's Our Girl.
Turner has also made it onto the shortlist for the Best Actress category at this year's British Soap Awards. Voting closes for the awards tomorrow afternoon ahead of the event itself taking place on Saturday night.
EastEnders airs Stacey Branning's return scenes next week as her mum Jean Slater pays a visit to her in prison.
Jean (Gillian Wright) heads to the jail after coming up with a possible way to secure her daughter's freedom, but Stacey is initially sceptical over her plans.
Later in the day, the duo are reunited again as Jean suffers a shock collapse and Stacey is allowed to visit her in hospital. Will Jean's scare be enough to convince Stacey that she should fight for her release?
Here, Lacey Turner - who plays Stacey - chats about her permanent return to EastEnders.
How does it feel to be back?
"It's nice to be back and meet everyone that's new. Nothing really changes - you leave for four years and come back and everything is still the same. There are just a few new faces and it's nice to get to know them - then after a while they don't seem so new. I do feel like the new girl a little bit, but I don't feel pressured - it's nice to be back and enjoy working with the Slaters. It is lovely."
Does Stacey have any regrets?
"I don't know if she has regrets, but the most important thing was to start again. Stacey wants a fresh start, and for her and Lily to have a nice life. That's all she wants, so she wants to get rid of that cloud hanging over her head and start again. The only way she thought she could do that was to confess to everything."
How has prison been for Stacey?
"She has coped. I don't think she has had a terrible time in there. She has managed to get through each day, but she has struggled not seeing Lily. Stacey is just taking each day as it comes and counting down."
How does Stacey react when Jean reveals her idea to get her out of prison?
"Stacey doesn't take it so well at first. She wants to serve her time and that is something she really wants to do to - then be able to start her new life afterwards. She feels she can't start again until she has paid for what she has done, but slowly as things happen - as bad things happen - she decides that maybe it's not the wisest thing to stay in there and if she has an opportunity to get out, she should take it."
There are problems between Jean and Ollie, but does Stacey know that?
"She doesn't know that there are any problems, as Jean keeps that very much to herself. Stacey notices a few changes to Jean's behaviour but nothing that makes her think something is going to happen. They are very subtle, so I don't think she thinks anything is wrong. It is a surprise to her when it goes wrong."
Jean is caring for Lily, so Stacey must trust her?
"Yeah I think she does, as Jean has been well for a really long time. Stacey believes she is happy with Ollie and living a lovely life, so far as I know, yeah she trusts her mum. I suppose it is hard to have someone else looking after her child, though - that would worry anyone."
What is it like working with Gillian Wright again?
"It has been really funny - thank God we saw each other in make up first, as we spent 20 minutes laughing at each other's faces! We didn't even get to say hello, we looked at each other and laughed - thank God as we would have wasted time on set!
"We work so well together. It is so easy - we bounce off each other and it was nice to work with her after not seeing her for ages. She is funny - she has one of those laughs that makes you laugh."
Will Stacey's bipolar issues be explored more?
"I am not sure, to be honest. Obviously she will always have it. It doesn't go away, she just maintains a healthy living, but who knows? I do enjoy doing it. It is tiring and it does take you to another place, but it is nice to be able to explore different emotions."
How do you feel about being ruled out as Lucy's killer?
"I just wish people would believe me when I say I don't know who killed her! (Laughs.) People think I am lying, but no-one here knows - we certainly don't know anything."
What can you tell us about the key that Stacey gave to Lauren before she was arrested?
"Nobody will tell me! I don't know what it is. It is like a locker key. All the directors say 'What's the key?' but I suppose it will come out at some point. I have no idea - she doesn't own anything of value."
How do you think the Square's residents will react to Stacey when she is released from prison?
"I don't think she had any massive haters, apart from the Mitchells maybe. I don't think anyone would be mortified that she was out."
How will she get her life back on track?
"She's a qualified colourist so maybe she'll work at Blades!"
Are you enjoying working with your on-screen daughter?
"She is very funny and very forward! At one point Jessie [Wallace] said, 'What do you want to be when you are older? Do you want to be an actress?' and she said 'I am an actress!'"
With Kat giving birth next week, it seems there'll be lots of kids on the Square!
"It's really lovely to film because you have all the kids and Mo is there and it's so nice. It feels like a little family and we all work so well together. I feel like I have gone back 10 years.
"We love that stuff. We have had some funny stuff lately and Mo makes me laugh so much. It's so nice to all be back together and to have the normal scenes. Even if there's nothing in them, they are full of drama because it's full of kids squeezed into one house with one kitchen table!"
Is there anyone you are looking forward to working with?
"I have never done anything with Natalie Cassidy, so it would be great if we could do some stuff together. I don't know that Stacey and Sonia would really be friends, but we are trying!"
Jake Wood has also said that he hopes Max and Stacey will reunite…
"I love working with Jake - it's a bit like working with Gill, we work so easily together it just sort of happens. It is so nice, we always have so much fun."
What was it like to come back so soon after you'd finished filming Our Girl?
"I thought, 'Oh thank God, just four cameras at EastEnders!' I really enjoyed it - I had a great time out there. I looked forward to coming back here, though - it's like coming home. It's lovely that I was able to go away and make that and we had a great time. It was fun, action packed and so different to this, but I like coming home. I am a home bird!"
Are you here for…?
"A while yes, here til I die! I am not going anywhere yet."
Do you feel like you achieved your ambitions during your time away?
"Yeah, I left here wanting to just have a break. I didn't know what I wanted to do. At one point I wanted to make furniture. I am one of these people who does courses in everything - I have got lots of qualifications, but I don't use any of them! I just wanted to live a normal life. I was just lucky to work, I had fun and I made a variety of different things. I do feel like I achieved something."
What were your proudest moments?
"Our Girl was a big thing for me. It was written for me so you always feel very flattered by that and it was a big challenge, something so far away from my life and anything I had ever done before. It was important for me to try and get it right as soldiers are real people and they do such a great job, so you don't want to disappoint them.
"If just one soldier watches it and thinks, 'That is a bit like what we do' then I would be happy. That for me was the biggest challenge and what I feel most proud of."
What other courses have you done?
"Upholstery and interior design. I like it - it's therapeutic. It takes you away from the manicness that this is. It's my 'you' time."
What's the best thing you've made?
"I have a storage full of wooden furniture, but I get attached to it! I make it and then people say, 'That's really nice, can I buy it?' I say, 'Just have it, you can take it', but then sometimes I think, 'That's nice, I will keep it' - but I have nowhere to put it!"
Will we see the rest of the Slaters again?
"I don't know, but it would be lovely if all of us came back. I would love for Derek [Martin] to come back - Uncle Charlie. We miss him loads. There are so many of us."
Would you say it's a risk when you leave a big soap like EastEnders?
"I did think, 'What if I don't get any work?' but I was lucky. There are so many talented actors that aren't working and I find it hard to believe. They are making loads of stuff now - more and more in this country and they are using a lot of unknown actors. They are giving people a chance, and if nobody gave me a chance I wouldn't be here now as I didn't go to drama school or anything like that. So it is nice to give unknown faces a chance."
As you hadn't trained, did it take a while to feel like you belonged on the show when you were starting out?
"It's only in the last year that when I write my occupation, I have written 'actress'. I used to write 'I work for the BBC'. I felt I hadn't been to drama school, so I didn't like to call myself an actress. I didn't feel any less important, but I don't really know what happened, I did it and that was it."
Stacey has already met Mick, so could they share some more scenes?
"I don't know where they are going with anything yet, but they do seem like two characters who'd get along. Danny [Dyer] is great and is having a great time here. It would be good to work more with him - you never know what they are planning!"
Are you still in touch with Charlie Clements?
"Yes, he is really well. I wish he could come back - it's weird here without him actually. People still talk to me about Stacey and Bradley. It's a shame really as I loved them as a couple - it is a shame he is dead. Poor Bradley!"
Is there anything else you can tell us?
"Stacey is in prison at the moment, but not for long!"
EastEnders' Stacey Branning could be heading for heartbreak as she gets romantically involved with Dean Wicks later this month.
Following a few days of flirting, Stacey (Lacey Turner) leans on Dean for support when she decides that she can no longer live with Kat and Alfie Moon.
Stacey and Dean (Matt Di Angelo) initially find themselves thrown together when Mick Carter decides to do some matchmaking and invites them for cocktails upstairs in The Vic, leaving Linda horrified.
After leaving the pub, Dean invites Stacey to his flat where he suggests that she could rent his old room if she needs a place to stay.
When Kat returns home from hospital, Stacey struggles more than ever to keep Alfie's secret about the fire to herself, so she eventually decides to take Dean up on his offer.
As Dean comforts an upset Stacey, they eventually give into their growing attraction to each other and share a passionate kiss.
However, while everyone on the Square is currently unaware of Linda's harrowing ordeal at the hands of Dean just weeks before, it'll be clear to viewers that she is making a big mistake.

EastEnders will revisit Stacey Branning's mystery key storyline next week as she contacts a face from her past.
Since Stacey (Lacey Turner) returned last year, she has been keeping a mysterious key close to her - but viewers have been kept in the dark over what it is for.
Stacey gave the key to Lauren to look after whilst she was in prison and later revealed that it was important.
Next week will see Stacey grow closer to Martin (James Bye) after the pair go out drinking together and she later helps him find a flat.
However, Stacey later gets in touch with a face from her past and learns a shocking truth about the key. Who does she talk to and what will they reveal?
is she on meds for her bipolar as she drinks a fair wack now that has to affect them
is she on meds for her bipolar as she drinks a fair wack now that has to affect them
Most people on psychiatric meds still drink even when warned not to by their doctor.
Stacey was shown taking her meds when she first arrived back on the square so I think we should presume she's still taking them - until we're told otherwise.
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!
Bottom of the plot barrel well and truly scraped.

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).

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. :searchme:

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

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! :wall:
im thinking daz is right
:)
Stacey's slip of the tongue when she said "my...our baby" was certainly very telling.
I'm hoping the best case scenario is that she doesn't know for sure and that it will eventually turn out to be Martin's baby.
Soaps love to make relationships happy before tearing them down, so the fact Stacey and Martin reached an understanding doesn't bode well for them. She even said she loves him - and I think she does genuinely care for him - but I find it hard to believe she's completely let go of her intense feelings for Kush.

Just bear in mind this is only a theory of mine at the moment and I could be completely and utterly wrong. It has been known to happen... :o
Also, the circumstances of Lily's conception were very different because Stacey's bipolar was out of control and her behaviour was all over the place at the time. She thought Archie (who raped her) was the father at one point.

Yeah, I remember that. A reasonable deduction at the time. I remember Ronnie telling her, though, that that was impossible because Archie had had chemo, and thus was left sterile afterwards.

I know you dont want to be right but on
balance think you probably are.
Martin being the father and a long term
relationship with Stacey would be the
"happy Ending"-if he was up to
the job but it wouldnt have the dramatic
possibilities that Kush being the father has.!
Or.after problem at time round Lilys birth
and the bi-polar issue- Stacey may feel
better without a "reliable " partner.
Also Kat away for some time -si Slater
support missing.
And again more dramatic?? if on her own.
I don't think the baby will be revealed to be Kush's. A Slater-Fowler baby carries a lot of legacy. If Kush were the father, then it doesn't add anything; the father is a relative nobody in terms of the history of the show, just like Lily's was. To make the same woman pregnant on screen twice, the second time has to add something.
Stacey would become public enemy number one if Kush was the father, considering what has happened to Shabnam. I don't think DTC would want that for her.

Slaters are relative newcomers compared to the Beales/Fowlers but they have been there for 15 years, so some history in their own right. Certainly of some importance and a lot more than the likes of Kush and Ryan.
I have rarely watched the show of late as DTC lost his shine for me after a few months. I feel like he is doing more harm than good these days. I don't know where he's going with Martin, perhaps he doesn't even know. Stories don't seem as well planned out as they once were. I certainly hope that Stacey's baby isn't Kush's. Nothing stays secret in Albert Square and whether it's public knowledge or not, it's more character assassination by DTC if it does happen. If it did happen, I could see it being reduced (along with the associated stillbirth) as plot devices for Shabnam to suddenly want a relationship with Jade.

Kushs -just suggesting that based on recent
events and characters behaviour -it will
quite possibly be so.!
I agree with your points about lack of story
planning and changes in characters personalities.
Usually done for dramatic effect and/or
exit stories and affect all Soaps to.some
extent.I agree that it would "spoil" some
characters and have unpleasant/ tragic
reperrcussions
It would be great if we had a happy relationship
between Stacey & Martin but doesnt look
like it will end that. Apart from some of her
time with Bradley -dont think.Stacey has had
much happiness-but thats the role they write
for her?!
We cant be sure that she has had sexual
intercourse with Kush yet. But if she did
- then the usual result of a"one-night
stand" in Soapland is a ....baby!!
Probably suitable paternity and heritage
dont have much hope against that tradition!

Stacey's slip up in Friday's episode (where she nearly said "my baby" to Martin) was the kind of thing that's done for a reason in soaps (indeed in all dramas). So all indications at the moment are that there's a lot more to come in this storyline.
The only thing going against the theory we've been discussing is we've never been given any direct indication she and Kush slept together, and Stacey didn't appear to be at all worried about the baby's parentage when she discovered the pregnancy. Obviously, both of these omissions can be explained by there being no possibility Kush is the father - or the writers deliberately misleading us.
Kim's right that a Fowler/Slater baby would be preferable for the show's future, so I'm hoping that if this theory is correct it'll turn out to be Martin's baby anyway. However, the truth is that any child of Stacey Slater is an important future character.
According to the following article, Shabnam and Kush are about to implode so I think it's likely Stacey will start hankering after him again.
http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2015-08-28/eastenders-star-rakhee-thakrar-on-shabnams-stillbirth-trauma---her-coping-mechanism-is-to-shut-everyone-out-and-run-away
Martin being the father and a long term
relationship with Stacey would be the
"happy Ending"
I'm still hoping that's the most likely eventual outcome of this storyline, even if I'm proved correct that Stacey currently considers Kush the biological father of her child.
I saw a "my baby" comment on Monday and while I haven't seen Friday's episode, it doesn't necessarily mean anything. "My baby" seems to be the kind of thing that some women come out with because they are the ones carrying said baby for nine months. Especially when they're not in a committed relationship. Stacey and Martin seem to me to be trying to make it work for the sake of the child rather than actually wanting to be together (especially from Stacey's side; Martin was after her from the off.) Unfortunately, the child can end up being used as a weapon when the two sides disagree.
My take was that Stacey wasn't impressed with how Martin had handled her bipolar previously, so rather than get annoyed at him, she thought she'd try to keep bipolar out of the equation. That meant having to decide about her meds alone.
The slip up I was referring to happened on Friday when Stacey hastily corrected herself. I'd already noticed her calling the baby "my baby" and thought little of it (because of her vacillating feelings towards Martin), but Friday's slip further raised my suspicions after her enigmatic "have you ever done the wrong thing for the right reason?" to Ronnie. (Anyone have any idea what else Stacey could have meant by this?)
When we first found out Stacey was pregnant, lots of us jumped to the conclusion it could be Kush's child (just take a look back on this very thread). However, Stacey never gave any indication it could be his so that train of thought quickly died a death.
No doubt we'll soon find out if I'm on the right track now Shabnam and Kush's relationship is in trouble. As I said, I hope I'm wrong because I'd like the baby to be Martin's and don't want the love triangle to rear its ugly head again... :thumbsdow

EastEnders boss Dominic Treadwell-Collins has started the rumour mill on Stacey Branning's (Lacey Turner) baby.
The executive producer hinted that the father of the unborn child might not be who viewers have assumed it is, her boyfriend Martin Fowler (James Bye).

Treadwell-Collins teased the potential twist when asked by The Sun's TV Soap supplement about how the friendship between Stacey and Shabnam (Rakhee Thakrar) might change.
"The first story for us is how it puts a strain on your friendship if your best friend is pregnant and you've lost a baby, which I think is a very real story," he outlined.
"Underneath that, you have also got the audience starting to realise that the baby may not be Martin's."

Given the number of departures this year (and only Stan's, Aleks's, Carol's and Max's by choice of the actor, it seems) I really think that DTC is pandering to his own ego/likes with these trips down memory lane (DTC previously worked on the show during Santer era.) I don't think it's any coincidence that all the DTC enforced departures are characters that didn't appear during Santer era, and all his returns are characters that did appear during Santer era. Les seems the only exception. I wonder if his days are numbered..
Aside from this storyline, we've also had the following repeats of Santer era:
- Excessive pregnancies (although even worse under DTC!)
- Ronnie and Roxy love triangle
- The return of Nick Cotton
- The return of Robbie Jackson
- The return of Sonia Fowler
- The arrival of Nick Cotton's never before mentioned offspring
- Who's the Daddy plots - and Kush potentially lined up to be the next Jack Branning (multiple offspring within months of each other)
I've probably forgotten some.
Probably a good job that Kellie Shirley has just had twins. If not, it would be another Santer era throwback with Carly - and even more Carters about the place.
In my opinion, DTC has been slowly destroying the show since Summer 2014.

Could Max or Ryan instead be the father not Kush
Could Max or Ryan instead be the father not Kush
Anything's possible but I doubt it. I still hope it'll turn out to be Martin's baby even if Stacey thinks (or hopes) it's Kush's, because it'd be nice to have more Fowlers on the square.
The mystery of Stacey Branning's key in EastEnders has been raising more questions than it's answered since the storyline was introduced in March 2014, but that could all be about to change.
Everything will become a little bit clearer in just a few weeks' time, according to Dominic Treadwell-Collins.
@SuseHill @Matt528chap All will become clearer (well a little clearer) in a few weeks' time...

The EastEnders boss took the time out to appease frustrated fans who were eager to get to the bottom of the ongoing mystery on Twitter last night (November 6) and promised that we only have to wait a little bit longer before we get some answers.
While we don't know too much about what the key is for right now, we do know that it has a family connection, as earlier this year it was revealed that Stacey received the key from her brother Sean, and it once belonged to their dad.
The key mystery thickened in the soap's Halloween episode after secretive newcomer Kyle appeared in Walford sporting a mysterious key of his own, hinting that he could be connected to Stacey in some way.

Lacey Turner has been seen filming scenes as Stacey Slater for EastEnders' Christmas episodes.
And it looks like the BBC soap is going to be as dramatic as always.
In the pictures, Stacey is seen escaping from hospital with her newborn baby – who was recently revealed to be Kush Kazemi's child, rather than her boyfriend Martin Fowler's.
She appears to be very distressed in the pictures, her eyes red and blotchy from crying.
The pictures show Stacey running away with the child and hailing a taxi in the rain and pitch-black - and the driver is her uncle, Charlie Slater.
The outspoken character is dressed scruffily, in big shawl, tracksuit bottoms and boots.
Stacey's newborn baby is wrapped in a sling and wearing a baby-blue cap, suggesting she's given birth to a boy.
These are the first pictures of Derek Martin returning as Charlie, having left the soap in 2010 after 10 years on Albert Square – apart from a few guest stints in 2011 and 2013.
However, it's thought he's set to be killed off in a dramatic New Year plot.
Charlie will meet a grisly end when he returns to Albert Square for one final time in January, coinciding with his daughter Kat Slater – played by Jessie Wallace, who recently broke her leg –and Alfie Moon's (Shane Richie) comeback.
Kat will apparently be hit the hardest by his sudden death.
An insider told the Daily Mirror: "Charlie's death is going to hit Kat hard.
"The storyline will be the catalyst for her to learn more secrets which will see her and Alfie eventually head to Ireland.
"Charlie's death is going to be a real tearjerker for the audience, too, and they will be waiting to see if he and Kat can mend bridges before he dies."
Stacey Branning is set to battle a rare mental illness over Christmas in EastEnders.

Due to give birth just before the holidays, Stacey (played by Lacey Turner) will suffer from postpartum psychosis, which affects new mums and can cause mood swings and hallucinations.
The Mirror reports that EastEnders bosses have worked with charities to learn about the condition. Women who suffer from it have made "several" trips to Elstree to talk to Turner and staff.
"Stacey's mental health story will be one of our biggest storylines over Christmas and the beginning of 2016 as we explore Stacey's bipolar disorder and its effects on her and those closest to her," executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins said.
http://digitalspyuk.cdnds.net/15/49/1280x853/soaps-eastenders-w51-e5197-06.jpg

The condition can affect a woman without pre-existing mental health issues, but it is more likely to affect a mother who has bipolar disorder. Stacey was diagnosed with the disorder on the soap in 2009.
Treadwell-Collins noted that he wants the storyline to explore the effects of postpartum psychosis and "look at what we are doing as a country to help mothers experiencing this".
Clare Dolman of Bipolar UK has praised EastEnders for "raising awareness of this devastating condition" and said that several of the charity's volunteers have visited the soap's studio to tell writers and researchers what it is like.
Mind's Alison Kerry added: "We have been working with the EastEnders team to develop this storyline over several months and have been impressed by the dedication they have shown in portraying postpartum psychosis sensitively."
The news follows the announcement that EastEnders will shock fans by killing off one of its characters on Christmas Day.
Women who kill their babies are often unknowingly suffering from postpartum psychosis. :(
I actually thought my daughter was suffering from it just after she'd given birth (nearly a year ago now!). She stayed with me for a week after the birth and one night she woke me shouting that the fire alarm was going off. It wasn't, so I suggested she'd fallen asleep feeding her baby daughter and dreamt it. She insisted she hadn't fallen asleep and that the fire alarm had sounded, so I went to look for the source of the smoke (even though I couldn't smell anything). There was nothing amiss but she absolutely kept insisting it wasn't a dream.
Knowing about postpartum psychosis, I began to seriously fear she'd hallucinated the whole thing and felt very worried. Luckily, nothing similar happened and we both agree now she fell asleep momentarily and dreamt the whole thing. Phew! :)
I hope nothing bad happens to Stacey or her baby. :(

That would be nice, but what I fear is that Shabnam and Kush might try and use Stacey's illness to get custody of the baby. Shabnam's pining for Jade and Zaair, and it's been suggested she's going to be told she can't have more children. Plus she's likely to hate Stacey when she finds out her baby's paternity. Also, I wouldn't trust Kush an inch.
I hope EE don't go down this route because Shabnam's currently one of the only characters on the square that I like.
EastEnders favourite Stacey Branning will become convinced that her newborn baby is the son of God in tragic scenes after she gives birth.
Stacey will welcome the arrival of a baby boy in a touching Christmas Eve episode, but there won't be an easy time ahead for her in the aftermath as she starts battling a rare mental illness.
Show bosses recently announced that Stacey will begin suffering from postpartum psychosis, which affects new mums and can cause hallucinations.
Although it takes a while for anyone to realise what is wrong, Dot Branning will become concerned when Stacey claims that her son has been sent by God as a saviour for everyone.
Dot, who recently encouraged Stacey to show an interest in Christianity, knows that her claims are very worrying but isn't sure what to do for the best.

Stacey's struggles will follow an eventful few weeks, including the revelation of what her secret key opens. Her best friend Shabnam Masood will also soon realise that her husband Kush Kazemi is the father of Stacey's baby, which is sure to cause fireworks between them all.
As Stacey's inner turmoil builds, she decides that she needs to be closer to God. Wanting to be up high, Stacey finds herself drawn back to the Queen Vic roof, where her beloved husband Bradley died in 2010.
With Stacey's worried partner Martin Fowler in hot pursuit as she heads for the top, it seems that her issues will come to light. But can her loved ones pull together to offer the support she clearly needs?

EastEnders boss Dominic Treadwell-Collins recently explained: "Stacey's mental health story will be one of our biggest storylines over Christmas and the beginning of 2016 as we explore Stacey's bipolar disorder and its effects on her and those closest to her.
"We have always had a big commitment to Stacey's story and this time we want to explore the effects of postpartum psychosis on those with bipolar - something which, although a rare illness, is unfortunately more common when mothers with bipolar give birth - and look at what we are doing as a country to help mothers experiencing this."
I think Stacey's postpartum psychosis storyline could be excellent if researched and written carefully (and not overly sensationalised). Lacey Turner has proved herself capable of a realistic and sympathetic portrayal of mental illness, and the other actors involved are all good too.
Am I the only one who thinks I'd feel more sympathetic towards Stacey had she not done exactly what she berated Roxy for doing and allowed someone to think they were the father when they weren't?
Are they saying the baby's premature, failing badly at Maths or now saying that Stacey and Kush slept together in March time I wonder?

I agree to a certain extent, but I can still feel sympathetic about her illness even though I know the lie about the baby's paternity will hurt a lot of people.
Are they saying the baby's premature, failing badly at Maths or now saying that Stacey and Kush slept together in March time I wonder?
From my earlier research (done when I started to realise the baby was Kush's), I thought the most likely conception date was during this episode dated 21st May:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05wgwsl
Skimming the episodes set at the end of March, Stacy and Kush aren't even mentioned. The above spoilers don't state the baby's premature, so I'd say the pregnancy's likely been sped up for plot purposes (not an uncommon thing for soaps to do I believe).

EastEnders spoilers: Stacey realises she’s ill and checks into hospital – but will Arthur be taken away from her?
https://metrouk2.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/9924288-high_res-eastenders.jpg?w=748&h=488&crop=1
With Martin’s help, Stacey Slater will realise she’s seriously ill in next week’s EastEnders offering – but is it all too late?
Trying to deal with Stacey’s psychosis but mistaking it for a bad period of bipolar, Martin will realise she needs help fast when her behaviour escalates further.
Some words of advice from a concerned Sonia and a visit from Jean and Ollie when they come to Walford to meet Arthur then confirms to Martin that he now needs to take things into his own hands.
The week begins with Stacey’s irrational behaviour leaving her concerned and paranoid. Kyle turns up to see Stacey but Martin refuses to let him into their flat, not realising that Stacey is watching from the window. When he lies about who was at the door, Stacey begins feeling panicked and betrayed, worrying that Martin is out to hurt her and Arthur.
Stacey’s state of mind leads her to take drastic action and as Kat witnesses her behaviour first hand, will it finally all click into place for her that something is desperately wrong?
Jean and Ollie later arrive on the Square and Jean is horrified to see what is happening to her daughter, especially when she starts telling everyone that Kyle is the Devil and has been sent to hurt Arthur.
Stacey seeks refuge with Kush and Shabnam but when she then erupts with more concerning paranoia, including about Martin being in league with the Devil, can they cope with having her around?
Seeing her daughter is clearly suffering, Jean takes Martin aside and tells him off for not getting help sooner. But an adamant Martin says he wants Stacey to realise she’s not well for herself rather than force her to seek help.
Jean encourages him to call a doctor but Martin insists on speaking to Stacey first. Encouraging Stacey to look him in the eye, Martin finds a lucid moment when Stacey asks if she’s ill. Martin convinces Stacey the hospital is the only place she can go with Arthur that’s safe and she allows him to embrace her.
As Stacey packs, Jean fears that Arthur might not be able to stay with her and encourages Martin to be honest but Jean soon realises getting her to the hospital is more important. As she and Martin face the challenge of getting Stacey through the hospital doors, will they finally get her the help that she needs?
And will Stacey admit herself? Or will she have to be sectioned?
Whatever happens next, the nightmare is clearly far from over for everyone concerned.

Seeing her daughter is clearly suffering, Jean takes Martin aside and tells him off for not getting help sooner. But an adamant Martin says he wants Stacey to realise she’s not well for herself rather than force her to seek help.
While part of me applauds Martin for trying to encourage Stacey to seek help for herself, it's completely inappropriate when she's caring for a baby. I'm still mystified why he'd let her run around the square with baby Arthur in what is obviously a very confused - not to say dangerous - state. Thank goodness she'll get help one way or another soon!
Brace yourselves, because Dominic Treadwell-Collins has teased that Stacey's mental illness storyline is just the start of a big year for EastEnders.
In the iPlayer special 'Stacey Branning: On the Edge', the executive producer explained that Stacey's devastating postpartum psychosis plot was due to a desire to have a week of "Slater secrets".
"It's nice as we plan our year to go 'that's Slater week'. 2016 is a year of big stories and every week is going to be emotionally big," he teased.
The special, available here, gives fans an insight into how the storyline was created, the research behind it and how it was brought to screen. Given the long shooting days required, it is revealed that 16 babies were licensed to play baby Arthur.
Alongside Treadwell-Collins, stars Lacey Turner and James Bye talk about how they prepared for it.
"When they give you the storyline and they say, by the way, your son is going to be Jesus, we did wonder how we can make it real," Bye explained. "Then we talked to people who've been through it [and realised] we weren't doing a soap storyline, it was incredibly real."
Turner added: "We met with a few ladies who have suffered from it to talk about it and get as much information as we could, and just use what we could put into Stacey and Martin."
'On the Edge' also goes into the off-screen friendship between Bye and Turner, with Treadwell-Collins giving this revelation: "James Bye is the only actor who's ever got Lacey Turner to come to the bar or the Christmas party."
Bye also teases the development of the mental health storyline: "Just when you think it's wrapped up, something else happens."

I think Kush and Shabham will go for custody of Arthur
Things will take another dramatic turn for Stacey Branning on EastEnders later this month.
The character - played by Lacey Turner - is currently struggling with postpartum psychosis and the soap is teaming with BBC One's mental health week as the storyline intensifies.
During In The Mind week starting Monday, February 15, Stacey will make a life-changing decision that hugely concerns her partner Martin.
Actress Turner will also appear on The One Show alongside EastEnders producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins on February 15, discussing the role the soap can play in raising awareness around mental health issues.
EastEnders has been working alongside Mind and Bipolar UK and other experts in the field to highlight postpartum psychosis, an illness that can affect women just after giving birth.
Fans praised 'Oscar-worthy' Turner for her performances as Stacey earlier this month.

I can understand it too. He did try, but several people were being way too pushy trying to make Kush part of the family. It's a very delicate situation and too soon for such an arrangement. I think it'd be too much for most people.
Still, Martin knows he's got no right to ban Kush from seeing Arthur so he'll have to compromise sooner or later if he wants to stay with Stacey.

At the hospital, Kheerat is worried to hear Stacey could be developing sepsis, and with her life at risk, tells the doctor what happened between her and Jean.
When Martin arrives, he and Kheerat are relieved to learn they got to Stacey in time and stopped the infection.
Eastenders will reportedly see Stacey Slater joining OnlyFans in order to make ends meet in an upcoming storyline.
The mum-of-two, who is played by Lacey Turner, is struggling amid the cost of living crisis, issues with her business and her growing family and ends up signing up for the adult subscription-based website.
An insider has told how the character is "as tough as they come" and will be doing what she can to put food on the table as recent weeks have seen her worry about how she's going to provide for her first grandchild.
OnlyFans has been part of a storyline before as Freddie Slater also has an account.
