But it would be true to life. Miscarriages don't wait around until you've decided what to do.Quote:

Bradley didn't mention Stacey again tonight. Everytime he talks about leaving with his mum, he keeps saying 'i've got good friends, very good friends'. I'd think he would have told his mum that he had a girlfriend.
If he hasn't he couldn't have very well had a go at Stacey for not telling her mum about him.
You really can see the similarities between Rachel and Jean. It seems like Bradley could have had just as bad a childhood as Stacey.
Bradley's mum is big on guilt trips, I noticed that tonight. And despite the fact that she finally allowed him to stay, really she seems to be living her life through her son.
Jean has been a nightmare to Stacey. It's a very similar situation.
I'm not sure I would tell Rachel about Stacey, she will be all over her criticising everything she is and does saying she isn't good enough for him.
I expect Bradley has some experience on this and hasn't mentioned her on purpose, hence why he said "very good friends".
Yeah but Stacey could give as good as she got! :)Quote:

For Bradley it's a very hypocritical thing to do. Bradley was so angry at the fact that Stacey wouldn't open up about her mum, and let him meet her. And now it seems like his mum has been just as much in the dark.
I don't know, it's all so confusing! I'm not sure how they should play it. Whatever way they do it they will be copying somebody. Kat had a miscarriage, Zoe had an abortion.Quote:

I really look forward to seeing Stacey and Bradley working through this together.
Just watched the clip for tomorrow! Bradley and Rachel! looks good.
Bradley's asking his mum to tell him the truth about what she said about her and Max. She says to Tanya and Bradley that something happened between them tomorrow (just in case you don't know).
It looks like a really good scene. Bradley's talking about trust, how she's the only one he trusts, and vice versa. And then pushing her into telling him the truth. Then at the end she just faces away from him and sits down, so it's clear she's lying.
How the trust thing works into him and Stacey I don't know! Hope he's not losing his faith in her.
Is somebody going to say something?! lol.
Just got to say Bradley made that scene for me! Wow! He's incredible.
with stacey she was actually trying to hide her mum.i think its because stacey isn't actually there, for him to introduce his mum.Quote:

No mention of Bradley or Stacey in the new spoilers :angry: :wall:
lol, spoiler based cliff-hanger and then no mention of them?!?! :angry:
Perhaps Fridays shock announcement is Stacey is going on a week long customer satisfaction course and won't be around :)
Yeah maybe i'm reading too much into it. But I'd have thought Bradley would have at least told his mum about her. But for all I know he has, she just likes to ignore the fact.Quote:

But if something serious does happen between Bradley and Stacey that week, it's a lot to fit in. Plus why would they tell us everything about Honey and Billy and not about Bradley and Stacey. They are both equally dramatic aren't they?!
We might get to see a preview later of Stacey on Monday. I'd better check the website after EE finishes! :)
ooh forgot about that! I hope so. :thumbsup:
I'll have to watch Eastenders on Sunday.Sorry to be a trator but I can't miss the Big Brother Final!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
Unfortunately the new clip, for Monday, is Jane leaving in a cab, presumably to join Ian at some event or other. But I can imagine after she drives off Stacey is arriving!
Charlie isn't taking Jane, so I reckon Charlie will be bringing Stacey back at that moment. Yeh!
Bradley didn't mention Stacey again tonight. She's arriving on Monday, he should be a bit excited!
You could see they were setting the stage with Al though. Chelsea's questions, her intrigue at who he was. I thought the way he handled it was excellent. She deserved it.
Has Bradley moved back in with Jim? I am confused about that. Rachel arrives so I assume he's there to keep her company, but now that she's gone, does that mean he's going to go back to his dads?! He seems to be between houses.
If Bradley had moved out of his dad's. I thought he would be a bit disapointed.
I don't know..that hasn't really been made clear..i am glad Rachel has gone now though, didn't really like her character.Quote:

I was thinking it could be interesting if Jean (Stacey's mum) was really against her having an abortion. She had Sean when she was young, and maybe she might have belonged to some protest group when she was younger. I just think it might be an interesting debate?!
I hope we get to see a reaction from Jean about Stacey being pregnant. There's every chance she would be sympathetic, but given her moods, it could go the other way.
I don't think it would work. The storyline should be about the characters and their personal reactions, not a soapbox for debates on abortion. The issue shouldn't be "Is abortion right," it should be "Is abortion right for Stacey and Bradley."Quote:

I think Bradley has moved back in with Jim because in the spoilers it said Stacey goes straight round to see Bradley. She wouldn't know he was at Max's. Unless she's been told he's there or something :searchme:Quote:

They were being really mean in the Mail today about Stacey and Ruby coming back. Clearly not as excited as we are! lol. Well about Stacey anyway.
And apparently it's the worst idea in the world to have another Branning in EE (Stacey's unborn child). Although I didn't like Rachel, she isn't really a main character in the Branning family, and she's gone now so we can get back to it being good again! lol. And we've got Stacey back, isn't that worth celebrating?!
Really can't wait for Monday! Yeh!
Just been on Talk Walford, there's some good snippets for next week (came from the Sun), sound good.
A bit with Bradley and Stacey, her being annoyed at him for wanting sex, when she's trying to talk to him.
Then there's some dramatic stuff with Sean and Stacey. Sounds great!
'bloody hell Stace, your only a baby yourself'. Sean to Stacey after he finds out she's pregnant.
'you ain't got 10 minutes to talk, yet you've got 10 minutes to stick your hand up my t-shirt. Look if you want a quick fumble then try DIY cause I ain't interested'.
Stacey to Bradley. Stacey's got the best lines! lol.
Bradley's turning into a proper guy! lol.
Oh yeah I seen that! Stacey's lines are mint! :rotfl:
:eek: What were they saying about Stacey and Ruby?! Horrible people! lol.
I'm really excited for it too! Not just for the Bradley and Stacey scenes (even though the scene were Stacey says that looks good!) But Stacey's going to have a go at Ruby isn't she?
I think Stacey is off with Ruby coz she's probably acted herself on holiday. I bet Rubys been trying to chat up all the lads and reckons she's a real man magnet now! And kinda leaving Stacey out. :nono:
I missed Last Nights (watching BB Final)- Was Bradders in it? I really can't warm to Rachel, and it's a shame because when i first heard about her coming i was excited. I don't know if it's Bad actress or Bad character? I can't wait until Monday, When Stace and Rubes come back.:)
The paper wasn't really horrible (I think I over exaggerated a bit), there wasn't much said about them, but what they did say was derogatory. It surprised me a bit.Quote:

You just can't tell a lie to him. lol.
Anyone seen the post over on DS? Says that in the new issue of Soaplife it says Stacey has an abortion. The mags do sometimes come out early so I think it will be true, as it also fits in with the POs spoilers.
It is pretty quick to get an abortion though. Over on Emmerdale Jasmine had to either wait a few weeks to get an abortion, or pay for it herself. I can't see them being in that much of a hurry that they'd pay for it themselves -- at least have a few days to think about it.
I hope it doesn't come across as Bradley rushing her into an abortion, and then Stacey regretting it.
Edit: I also think Bradley and Stacey moving in together is a stupid thing to do. If there is tension over the baby, whatever happens to it, papering over the cracks won't help, and neither will being under each others feet all the time.
I guess it might not happen (the abortion) for a few weeks. Looks like the whole bambino business isnt such a big or dramatic storyline after all, ie that it could be all over in the next 2 weeks!Quote:

I dont think they move in together until the Autumn (that bit was in the autumn spoilers section of some mag I bought last wk), so there will be a bit of time elapsed (since the whole sorry bambino business).
Though not sure either about them moving in together, to be honest. Could be the slow kiss of death to the relationship!
I wonder where they will live? With the high cost of renting in ol' London town, it will probably be in a card board box, in the middle of the square, next to Arthur's bench (cant see Pauline being happy with that)!!! lol
Ah! It's so sad. Lacey was saying in 'Woman' that she would find it traumatic filming scenes of Stacey, if she was to have an abortion.
I feel sorry for Stacey already. I hope Bradley is there for her all the way. It seems like he is. I almost wish I didn't know now, but there's still lots of scenes to look forward to. What am I talking about?! It hasn't even started yet! lol.
I reckon it might become a stigma in their relationship if Bradley is more keen to have the abortion than Stacey, she might resent him down the line.
It is quick if she has an abortion in the next 2 weeks. Do you reckon Max will pay for her to go private?! Or maybe Sean gives her some money?! I suppose she's got a lot of rich people surrounding her nowadays.
Well Bradders did mention he has some savings a couple of weeks ago (remember when all that holiday business kicked off?), so I reckon he will use that to pay for it.Quote:

I really didnt want her to a have an abortion either.....I reckon this could be used in the future as the underlining reason they split up! Which would mean that the rot has began in the brad n stace relationship.....I wonder how long they will last now?! :confused:
It says on DS as well that Sean and Tanya's affair starts at Bradley's birthday party. Do you know where it takes place?! I thought it was a dinner party?!
I actually think it's going to be really good! It's not going to go away overnight, it's obviously going to be something that they both take a lot of time discussing and it's going to be very emotional! It's always going to be there in their relationship. They'll always have that bond.Quote:

Oh man here we go again......enders changing characters' personalities.....Cant believe Tanya would have an affair!!Quote:

You've been abit quiet the last couple of days Pinkbanana!
Awww so the bambino will soon be nomore :crying: I don't think Bradley will force her to do it. I don't think anyone can force Stacey to do anything! Maybe Bradley just talks to her saying its not the best time for them to have one as they are both still young and maybe he says they want to get more serious first. Then Stacey might get offended that they arn't serious then thats when Bradley suggests the move in....I'm slowly sliding into fanfic.....:wall:
BTW LittleMo great script in the fanfic section! :thumbsup:
I don't think Bradley will force Stacey into it, but I definitely think it will be Bradley's idea, and that Stacey will be the less sure of the two.
