i dunno if its true but it says its the result of a one night stand, does anyone know who the one night stand is?
http://www.allaboutsoap.co.uk/contro...p?object=issue
yeah she has a one night stand with callum after having a fallout with danielle after she spills the beans to paul about danielles pregnancy and abortion, at the 80's night in R and R
How many times are they going to use the Stacey Pregnant plot. Surely the stupid girl must know about birth control by now. Give her a dose of the crabs that will teach her to have unprotected sex.
Stacey has one a nighter with Callum :thumbsdow
Silly Stacey blabs her way into big bother by threatening to reveal Danielle’s secrets to Ronnie...that Dani is her daughter and she’s just had an abortion after a one-night stand.
Danielle shouts at Stacey: “Go near Ronnie and I’ll rip your head off.”
Trouble begins when Stacey tells Danielle that she’s fed-up with her continual crying about whether to come clean to Ronnie — so she’ll spill the beans for her.
The flare-up is on March 9.
oh i hope stacey does tell ronnie
Stacey is to develop/inherit biopolar like her mum Jean
Yeah, people think she is grieving for Danielle at the moment though. It is Jean that will recognise what is going on.
EastEnders is to explore mental illness in one of its hardest-hitting storylines yet.
Stallholder Stacey is diagnosed with bipolar disorder - formerly called manic depression - following her increasingly erratic behaviour since the death of a friend.
In tonight and tomorrow's episodes of the hit BBC1 soap, Stacey, whose mum Jean has mental health problems, moves closer to breaking point.
Lacey Turner, 21, who plays the character, said: "It's great that EastEnders is continuing to raise awareness of this difficult issue. I hope I can do justice to this challenging storyline."
The soap's executive producer Diederick Santer added: "Stacey is a character of highs and lows, of great passions and dark moods.
"This week, those contrasts become bigger and we realise her mood is far more complex than simply being upset about her friend's death."
EastEnders has worked with charities such as Mind on the sensitive storyline.
Mind's Paul Farmer, who hopes it will help dispel some myths surrounding mental illness, said: "It's fantastic that a highprofile soap is prepared to explore a mental health issue through such a popular, well-loved character."
From The Mirror
Hmm, i'm not sure shes as popular and well loved anymore but i'm glad they are doing this. I'm sure Lacey is sick of her storylines revolving around Stacey's lovelife and the character has been dull and stale for some time now.
That explains Stacys behaviour
Im glad she is getting a more serious storyline, the last difficult stoyline she had i think was the abortion.
And I think she will do a good job with it she is a good actress
This is a great storyline to portray, weren't they trying to do this with sean before the actor left. Have to admit was a bit sceptical about this storyline, but after watching tonights episode, it was superbly acted out by Lacey, she should get an award for this. Her Mum will be brilliant to watch, the interaction between Mum and Daughter will be great viewing.
Could be a good storyline and educational in understanding this condition, if handled correctly... and I do rate the actress who plays Stacey. So it will be interesting to watch. :)
I hope they do this right. I don't want it being used as a vehicle to get Bradley and Stacey back together. Lacey is worthy of a good storyline.
I think they may have wanted to do it with Sean but circumstances prevented that.
I liked it at the end yesterday when she was walking thru the square, feeling like everyone was staring at her
Loved tonights episode, the way the cameras followed her and the way she made sure that she never stood on any cracks, its just the little things that made the episode brilliant, I loved the end scene were she was trying to convince herself that she was normal.
Totally agree, brilliant episode. I felt for Jean trying to help her.
Poor Stacey. :(
To be honest I have only started watching eastenders again this week properly, was curious what way they would portray the Bi-Polar storyline, and they have honestly started to portray it brilliantly.
Lacey was brilliant. I was gripped throughout. She really is very manic right now. I hope we see someone to take her. She needs to be diagnosed.
Poor Stace. This must be difficult for her to deal with seeing as she has always looked after Jean and has always been strong
Does she get with Ryan? I was hoping it would be Bradley and her back together.
Bradley proposed before he even knew about stacey/Ryan . Bradley wasn't even in the vic - but there is still a much deeper chemistry between bracey than there ever will be with Bradley and syd. Wish she would just pack her stuff and go to toronto alone
tacey Branning is dragged screaming from Albert Square after her family have her sectioned.
Stacey pleads for her mum’s help as police and medics arrive at her house.
They are there to take her to hospital after her bipolar condition sees her plunge into depression.
Lacey Turner, 21, who picked up best actress at Monday’s Inside Soap Awards, says she often struggles to cope with the pressure of her character’s intense storyline.
She told Hot TV: “I live what Stacey’s going through and I feel as exhausted as she does.
“I do feel a big pressure to do the storyline justice.
“Just talking to a few people I have realised how much bipolar touches people’s lives.”
Moments before EastEnders went live to the nation last night, actress Lacey Turner finally discovered that her Walford counterpart - newlywed Stacey Branning - was responsible for burying The Queen Vic bust into Archie Mitchell's skull on Christmas Day. In an emotional scene in the Square just after her screen husband Bradley (Charlie Clements) plunged to his death from The Vic's roof, Stacey told Max: "It's all my fault. You don't understand, Bradley didn't do it! It was me. I killed Archie, it was me!" Here, Lacey speaks for the first time about the big reveal and falling ill a day before the live screening.
How did you feel when you found out?
"I honestly couldn’t believe it! I had no idea and didn’t for one minute think it would be Stacey. It's funny as usually you're told when you get such a big storyline but this really must be the best kept secret in EastEnders history as we've all been trying to guess for weeks."
How did you get told?
"I got a call to go and see Diederick about twenty minutes before we went live. We all knew that he was going to see Archie's killer but I didn’t think for one second that it would be me. To be honest, it still hasn’t sunk in and I can't believe that I was the one who killed Archie Mitchell!"
Who did you think it was?
"I have been asked this since Christmas and like everyone, I have been changing my mind on a daily basis. You watch the show and you read the script looking for clues but each week you see another character and really believe that they have the motive to have killed Archie."
You've been ill - did that affect your filming?
"It's typical isn’t it? Just as the live is upon us, I get ill and lose my voice but to be honest, even though I felt terrible, nothing was going to stop me doing tonight. Everyone has worked so hard on this episode and it's such a big part of TV history that I just knew I couldn’t miss it. I just made sure that I rested my voice throughout the day so I could save it for the night."
How did it feel filming Charlie exit?
"It was really sad but also really exciting. The show has given him such an amazing exit and to go out with and it has been great to be such a part of it. I'll really miss working with him as we've worked together for over four years now and I have nothing but great memories. I don’t know how he did those scenes, though, as I don’t think I could even get up on that roof!
"Charlie did us all really proud and I'm just pleased that I could be part of his leaving storyline. I think everyone loves Bradley and Stacey being together but at least in their last moments, they knew how much they loved each other. It's going to be really sad for her without him, isn't it?"
What do you think the viewers thought of the reveal?
"I don’t know, but I hope they sympathise with Stacey. She not only has to deal with the guilt of what she did but she also knows that she's inadvertently responsible for Bradley's death. I think that's going to hurt her more than anything."
What has been the reaction from the other cast members?
"It's really strange as some people have suspected me for a while but probably as much as I suspected them! I know Charlie didn’t think it was me so he was surprised but I havent really had much of a chance to see anyone yet - but I hope they liked it as much as I enjoyed it!"
It's good to hear Lacey's reaction. I watched the aftermath show yesterday particularly to see what she had to say, but she didn't appear. Diederick Santer said it was because of her voice problems.
It's also good to know that even she didn't suspect - makes me feel a little better for not having a clue :o
Stacey wasnt even mentioned as a suspect
Lacey and Charlie had great chemistry together
ARCHIE assassin Stacey Branning will get away with murder - because EastEnders bosses are desperate for her to stay in the soap.
The fall guy (yet again) will be her poor hubby Bradley, with detectives blaming him for the Queen Vic killing.
A whopping 16.6 million viewers saw Bradders plunge to his death just before Stacey's confession in Friday night's live episode to mark the show's 25th birthday.
But bipolar Stacey - played by multi-award-winning Lacey Turner - won't be going down.
An insider told us: "Lacey is with us for the foreseeable future.
"But don't forget she told her father-in-law Max that she killed Archie - so there are plenty of twists and turns to come."
Yesterday Lacey, 21, revealed she nearly couldn't say the infamous words, "It was me, I killed Archie" - due to a bad sore throat.
Terrible
Earlier in the day she'd missed the dress rehearsals because she'd lost her voice - then she lost it again straight after filming.
She said: "It's typical isn't it - just as the live is upon us I get ill and lose my voice but, to be honest, even though I felt terrible nothing was going to stop me doing it.
"Everyone has worked so hard on this episode and it is such a big part of TV history that I just knew I couldn't miss it. I just made sure I rested my voice throughout the day so I could save it for the filming."
And sexy singleton Lacey had NO inkling she was Archie's killer until 20 minutes before the show.
The plot was such a huge secret that the cast had to rehearse TEN possible endings. Lacey, 21, said: "I honestly couldn't believe it. I had no idea and didn't for one minute think it would be Stacey.
"Usually you are told when you get such a big storyline but this really must be the best-kept secret in EastEnders' history."
She went on: "I got a call to go and see Diederick (Santer, the executive producer) about 20 minutes before we went live. We all knew he was going to see Archie's killer but I didn't think for one second it would be me.
NOTW
Just another one in a long list of people who get off with murderand other serious crime down on Albert Square. Of course some of the cast have even got away with crimes in real life allegedly.
I quite like Lacey so I'm glad she's staying...:p not that the character should get away with murder but it would be easy for the police to think it was Bradley with the DNA evidence and him running from them. Makes him look like he's guilty.
Off topic, I know, but I love your avatar, Stars :heart:
I think it is going to be really difficult for Stacey after this if anything the gulit is possibly going to rip her apart, she has Archie blood on her hands. But also the man she truly loved is dead because of her and she also has to live with the fact that everyone is calling her husband a murder when in actual fact he is innocent.
And she's pregnant too! Poor Stacey, you've gotta feel sorry for her despite Bradley taking the blame for her crimes.
I'm glad Lacey's not leaving any time soon. Stacey may go down for murdering Archie when Lacey does eventually leave EE.
Im glad shes getting away with it, Archie was a bast**d - she's already lost Bradley because of him.
oh and brilliant ratings!
I hope she gets away with it too. Losing Bradley is just terrible for her!
Why should she get away with murder.
Whilst I theoretically agree that she shouldn't get away with it, I don't want Lacey to leave EE so I hope she doesn't get found out. Plenty of people get away with murder in real life.
