The party at the Allens was the Monday episode. Bradley arrived on the Tuesday episode and Stacey and Deano took him to Scarlets which is where the drugging occured.Quote:

I still think he would have tried to help her if she seemed troubled. At the club on the first night he was concerned about her drinking, and then he didn't like her walking home on her own, he then tried to help her when she was ill (after she'd been drugged).Quote:

I wonder what he thought was his type before he met Stacey?! Probably a fellow bank clerk, somebody sweet and innocent. She hit him right between the eyes, literally! lol.

So does anyone still think there's a possibility that Bradley and Ruby will get together? I'm torn. Is it a good idea?! They are the two most important people in Stacey's life, and it would just destroy her. It would probably make a good storyline at the time. But after it's died down, what is Stacey to do with herself? Whose Ruby got to turn to? It would create a lot of loose ends.
Still, I would love to see Stacey's reaction to finding Bradley with Ruby! I love Stacey, but I just think it would be good to see!
Also I mentioned this before, but do you think Bradley is going to be aggressive? His dad is violent, and I don't know what his upbringing was like, but I can imagine he's been witness to some violence. Bradley seems like a great guy! But when I was watching that scene on Monday night, when he was accusing Stacey of cheating, it just seemed liked he wouldn't let it go.
He seems to have this thing about not wanting to made a fool of. Whether that has something to do with his family background (i'm not sure)?
Anyway, probably completely wrong, but I just think it might be worth exploring!
Hmm I think Bradley actually could be, he seems quite well tempered but I reckon it Stacey pushed him too hard he might lash out.
Yeah Stacey can be very testing at times. But that thing when he accused her of cheating, she wasn't winding him up or anything. It was Bradley who got the wrong end of the stick, and he just wouldn't let it go.Quote:

And I have heard there could be more to him than meets the eye. Who knows?!
Hmm, maybe he's one of those people who just HAS to be right... he's a confusing character...
Just found this pic on the EE webby that I hadn't seen before. Really cute: Here
awwwww cute pic, where abouts did you find it?
On the 'Your Say' page: Link There's a couple of other pictures there too.
Maybe. He's very insistent. Look at tonight. Stacey tells him that she doesn't want him to come over because she doesn't want Ruby to play gooseberry. And then he just turns up.Quote:

There's a nice picture of Stacey/Bradley and Ruby on there too. They've got Bradley in the middle. I think it would be quite cool two have a love triangle between these three. It looks good!Quote:

Bradley replied with:
'Charming!'
Stacey: 'Shut up and eat you'. lol.
If they want to make Ruby the most hated character then it'd be a good way to go about it. It'd be such a huge betrayal of Stacey, especially from Ruby. After everything Stacey has done for her, often getting little to nothing in return, for Ruby to turn around and do that would be appalling.Quote:

I just don't think it would be a good storyline. Sorry to say, but I don't think Louisa has the acting ability to carry it off -- for Ruby to do that and come out the other side with any integrity would be hard for a good actress to do. We'd have to really see Ruby's turmoil at betraying her friend like that for us to sympathise in anyway with her. I don't believe Louisa could.
The climax to Little Mo and Alfie were good scenes. However the storyline as a whole was dire, and the climax in no way made up for that. I suspect this would be the same. I feel Little Mo's character is struggling to recover from that storyline, and that's with a good actress playing her.
To betray Stacey in such a way would mean an end to both Bradley/Stacey and Ruby&Stacey's friendship, and Stacey can only forgive Ruby so many times before coming across as a doormat.
I just don't think it's a good idea. :searchme:
Some good points. I'm not sure about Louisa's acting ability either but I think Lacey would carry it through. It would probably be more focused on Stacey, and she would deliver a convincing performance.
I think they should wait for a while, they haven't really built it up enough yet. It would take a lot for Bradley to cheat on Stacey. And you need to feel sympathy for the characters, and it needs to be realistic.
I don't know if Ruby would have it in her to steal her best mates boyfriend. But we do hear that Bradley meeting up with his dad again is going to push Stacey out. And Ruby has a lot of issues with her dad as well, so they could become friends and get close.
Can't wait for Stacey to tell Bradley about her mum, that should be good! I definetely think if they are going to do episodes away from Walford (again), with Stacey and her mum, Bradley should go too. She needs somebody there with her. Ruby should have gone last time. I think it would have helped.
I think Jean's coming into it in the Summer, but I wonder whether it'll be in Walford or where she lives. The Slaters would have their hands full if she came to live with them. After getting rid of Little Mo, you'd think they'd want some peace.
I can imagine maybe something happening between Bradley and Ruby but then them immediantely feeling guilty about it and deciding to keep it a secret so that Stacey doesn't get hurt, but then she'll find out and be mad at them both and lose both of them, but then take back Ruby as she's her best friend but not take Bradley back as she can't forgive him.
Bradley finding out about Stacey and her mum would be good, Stacey's had quite a bad childhood and maybe Bradley has aswell so he'd understand.
Yeah I reckon she would forgive Ruby because she's been going through a hard time with her dad. It would probably seem to her that Bradley took advantage. Bradley would be in a loving stable relationship with Stacey, and Ruby would be an emotional wreck. It's obvious who your going to blame! But I would hope Stacey would know Bradley a bit better by then to realise that he isn't somebody who would ordinarily cheat, and that Ruby is probably just as likely to be the instiagtor.Quote:

Apparently in the last issue of Heat magazine it says that Lacey and Gillian (who play Stacey and Jean) will both be supporting carers week in June. So it could be that that is when Jean returns.
I can totally see ruby doing that - she has been so off the rails since coming back. I think stacy should turn her back on her if she does.Quote:

Bradley's family is extending, that should be good! I have been thinking for ages that just Max turning up doesn't really consitute as a 'family reunion' (that's been quoted in many magazines). Now Max's wife and her 2 daughters are coming into it. Maybe they couldn't say anything until it was confirmed.
It mentions in the article on DS that Max is a womaniser. The relationship reminds me of Den/Chrissie and Johnny/Tina. Tania (Max's wife) wants to build up a life of her own, and have money to support herself so that she can leave him if she needs too. He's definetely the dominant in the relationship! Maybe abusive too (it doesn't mention that though). Perhaps he's trying to turn over a leaf, I mean no mother in their right mind would allow her daughters to live with somebody who they didn't feel comfortable with.
Ooo daughters that sounds quite good, but Bradley has never mentioned them... so maybe he doesn't get along with them very well or maybe he doesn't even know about them?Quote:

I never realised they had split up, lol ... I've never missed an EE episode since like 2001 except 1 but I always forget what happens! :lol:Quote:

Yeah that sounds like like what could have happened, I don't think he would be abusive towards the daughters inless they needed Max for money because they could be poor.
Yeah so probably his mum and dad split up when he was quite young, I'd say just before his teens because when he reacted the way he did with Stacey when he thought she was cheating on him, he wasn't very calm.Quote:

Max hasn't really been shown as a character before, they had Carol's brothers in it a long time ago when she was going out with Alan, but it was as a group, and I'm sure it wasn't the same actor. I don't think they mentioned a Max back then either. You haven't missed an episode involving them.Quote:

I can see he'll need a lot of time to get his head around it. It's difficult with stepfamilies isn't it?! And in Bradley's case there's probably a lot of unfinished business from the past.
I can see Bradley becoming close to Tania. I reckon he'll be the one she'll turn to when things get rough with Max. He'll be good as a shoulder to cry on.
Yes I agree. I think a lot of his insecurities; feeling jealous and paranoid, are things that have been projected onto him from his mum. From what the article was saying Max is somebody who is very prone to cheating, which is undoubtedly a problem Rachel (Bradley's mum) had with him.Quote:

And I reckon Bradley trusts her, but then there's niggling doubts which probably come to mind when thinking about his dad.
Liked Bradley and Stacey tonight.
Stacey's comment about what he was wearing was funny. 'If we are dancing in the dark at least i'll be able to see him'.
She seems to find the good in situations now, instead of immediately thinking of the bad. I love them together!
Another reference to Max (Bradley's dad) tonight. Was that because he's coming into it soon?! Or was it to show that Ruby and Bradley have similar backgrounds? It was said right before the mention of Johnny.
