It all seemed a bit too convenient from where I was sitting. The way he looked her directly in the face, fixated with his eyes. Like he was coaxing her or something.

I don't think he believes in telling anyone that he loves them. When Stacey said it the first time, he asked her 'what it mean't?'.

I just don't know.

In my opinion I think he meant it. I think coz Stacey was saying stuff like " Is that why you never say you love me? Because you don't?" I think he was just trying to say that wasn't the case. That he did love her and if she really wanted to keep the baby he'd be with her. Remember his reasons for not saying it before? He thought it all goes wrong when you tell someone you love them and maybe at the clinic when Stacey was saying all that he thought its going wrong when he hasn't said it so he may aswell say it! And she was clearly distraught and he wanted to show how much he cares for her.
There is my bit of seriousness over for the day :lol:

well not bradley for a start. he says he loves stacey, but all he was thinking about was not mucking his life up and ruining his job. it seems he cared more for his lifestyle than the baby itself.

what if stacey got pregnant again in the next couple of years, would he turn round and make her go through having an abortion again just because the timing dosent suit him?

One would hope that if they were still together in a couple of years, they both would have sorted out contraception and wouldn't be in the situation they are currently in.

I was just watching that bit again, when he says he loves her. He looks down at the ground before he says it, I don't think that's a good sign.

I know, maybe he dosen't mean it. He could at least look in her eyes and say it.

I think there's a definite case to be made for Bradley manipulating Stacey. I mean, take the line "I want you and nothing more." On one hand it could mean "You're the only one for me etc." On the other it could mean, "I only want you on your own, not you with the baggage of a baby." And I think in the state she was in, Stacey could have taken it the second way.


I do understand Bradley's feelings, but I still don't like the way he made it all about him. His main argument was his relationship with Max, nothing to do with him and Stacey as individuals. And I don't think he listened to Stacey's feelings -- he just dismissed them with the practical side of things. And while the practicalities are very important, so is what you're feeling despite of them.


I don't think they'll be okay after this. I don't see how they can.

He's looking at her saying the actual words. But before that either he's looking down at the floor, or looking at her stomach, one or the two. Watching it again, I think he's looking at her stomach actually.

I definetely agree that when he said, 'I want you and nothing more', he was talking about getting rid of the baby.

No chance I think bradley should of been more of a man about it...'I dont want to end up like Dad'....well prove you wont then little boy at least he stood by you (for 6 years anyway) you didnt even have the guts to think about what your girlfriend wanted only what you wanted .I used to like bradley I cant stand him now.

stacey isnt made for bradley im afraid theres a "alfie" out there somewhere for her

I don't really know what to think. Bradley's entitled to his opinion. And if he can't handle it, I suppose it's better saying it now than waiting till the baby's born to say it. That wouldn't be fair on Stacey either would it?!

But I just think Bradley and Stacey will have different views on the whole thing.

I don't actually hate Bradley as much as I thought I would to be honest.Yeah he did rush things...alot but its not as if he said to Stacey "Get rid of it or I'm leaving you" He said he would never leave her and although he made it obvious he didn't want to keep the baby he asked what she wanted to do. Bradley didn't get Stacey in a head lock and drag her into the operating room. :lol:

Same. I thought i would totally dislike him, and i am angry with him but i don't hate him. I can see then together maybe....but it'll take a while that for sure.

I've watched it again and I stick with my belief that Bradley meant everything he said. When he said he loved her he looked at the ground not because he was preparing to lie but because it was a huge thing for him to say.

I think Bradley's going to be criticised for it. By Sean and probably Mo and Charlie when they find out. Max might even say something, you never know.

The stuff that Bradley was talking about made a lot of sense. Most people think having a baby that young is going to ruin your life.

I would have loved to have seen what Bradley's reaction would have been if Stacey had said 'I don't care, I'm going to have the baby anyway'. And she just walked out. I think he would have maybe tried to talk her round, but once her minds made up, there's no changing it is there?!

He wouldn't have just left her. He's not that kind of guy.

He did look sweet when he said it. I would hope it wasn't for show, but I'm not so sure.

He did look very guilty when Stacey sat down beside him after she'd done it. It seemed like he thought she could turn on him at any moment.

Wouldn't that of been fantastic?? Old Stacey coming out....:)

I think he realises the sacrifice she has made for him. I just hope when it comes time to repay in kind he does the same thing.

Yeah it would!

I think were not going to see old Stacey for a while. But I reckon she'll be back. I think this could be just the push she needs to go back to her old ways.

I hope he does too. He does seem to feel guilt.

Maybe the kind will be not grassing up her brother if he beats him up?! To protect Stacey's feelings.

Not really the equivalent, but it's a start.

Maybe Bradley will think he deserves it?!

Do you think Bradley got the fact that Stacey wanted the baby?! She gave him enough signs to suggest it didn't she?! He just seemed to push away the fact that she was having second thoughts.

When Stacey said she wasn't sure she wanted to go through with it. He just said she was scared. She had 2 weeks to think about it, I think she'd know what she was feeling more than Bradley.

I'm going back and forth with my feelings for Bradley! lol.

I think they both had second thoughts hence why Bradley went through to see Stacey but after going through it again he came to same conclusion that the abortion was for the best.

SPOILER SPOILERS - FOR WEEK 38 - SPOILERS SPOILERS

Monday
Bradley is frustrated when Stacey avoids his calls and brushes him off when he tries to speak to her. Ruby urges her to sort things out so Stacey agrees to meet him for dinner, but is left stunned when Bradley presents her with an unexpected surprise.

Tuesday
Meanwhile, Ruby is upset when Stacey announces that she is moving out of the Slaters'. She confides in Sean, who uses the opportunity to get closer to her.

Thursday
Stacey is nervous when Bradley introduces her to their landlord, and she makes some inappropriate jokes. They don't go down well and Bradley worries that she might have jeopardised their chances of a new home.

Friday
Jake becomes wary of Sean and warns him to stay away from Ruby.

Yay, what a relief \o/

Sounds like some good spoilers..i guess this is the week that Bradley asks Stacey to move in with him!

I don't really hate Bradley after last night's episode, him and Stacey did rush things but he was right over some things he said like responsibility etc..and it's not like he doesn't want to have children ever, he said that he will never leave Stacey and would like to have kids with her when their a lot older so i still like Bradley, i just thought that him and Stacey should have talked about their possibilities a lot more.

awwww im glad they stay together and she gets over it even though it was hard for her to do what bradley wanted even though she probably didnt want to do it ! im glad to see them moving forward and getting on with it! :thumbsup:

I hope they get through this together too.:thumbsup:

Thanks for the spoilers! I can't wait to hear Stacey's inappropriate jokes!:lol: Are they moving into one of them little flats like were Laura used to live? :searchme:

Why are the going to live together?

I can't believe he forced her to go through with the abortion like that. By the looks of it he knows next to nothing about her, because he said she'd be 22 with a 5 year old kid when she'd be 22 with a 4 year old kid. Also, he can't see that she only went through with it because she was scared that he would leave her if she didn't and she'd be left on her own which is something that she is afraid of because of the circumstances surrounding her upbringing.

Maybe Bradley thinks it will make things better between them after the abortion because she begins to be off with him.

I think that what Bradley was really afraid of was turning in to his father. By which he meant that he might leave Stacey in six years time and leave her with the child to bring up on her own and the effect that will have on the child. As he said he cried for weeks after his father left.

So, although he is saying all that stuff about his job and about Stacey being trapped at the age of 17 what he is really afraid of is eventually hurting the baby and putting it through what he went through.

It's all very sad really.

if they did that then Stacey would know the landlord so why the spoiler about inappropriate jokes?

I think they might just be looking around houses first or something to actually buy and they get shown round a house by a landlord and she could make inappropriate jokes to him and then they realise they can't buy or afford a house so they move into Max's.

I might be wrong but i just heard that they move into Max's house.

I'm glad Stacey's joking around again. I'm glad to see it!

I wonder what the landlords like?! Maybe it's his appearance she finds so amusing? or perhaps his voice?!

I'm glad that Bradley and Stacey are at the centre of the storylines this week again. I like the joking around side to their relationship as well as the hard hitting drama. It's nice to see.

Filming today: Episode 1075 Tx: 18/09/06
STACEY: This is romantic.
BRADLEY: Thought you'd like it.
STACEY: I'm gonna drop my chip paper after. Just to get up his nose.
BRADLEY: You ever pack up working on the stall, you could get a job with the UN.
I think this is when Bradley asks Stacey to move in with him.The dinner must be round the chippy! :lol:

He's the last of the big romantics isn't he?! lol.

I suppose he wanted somewhere they could be on their own to talk.

I think they are probably eating chips up the allotments.

It is great to see the funny side of stacey again. I think it's his voice she finds amusing.

Someone made an interesting comment on Talk Walford about Bradley. Saying when his mind is set on something, he twists things and justifies it by making himself look good. That makes a lot of sense.

He goes on about Stacey lying, why doesn't he take a look in the mirror.

I don't think he knows what he wants. Stacey was saying about how Bradley doesn't want kids with her, because she's not good enough. What he said about him wanting loads of kids with her, but not now. I'm not sure that was truthful either.

I like Bradley, but I think he's quite a confused man.

I think he meant what he said about having kids in the future. When Stacey was saying the stuff about her not being good enough I think he looked really hurt she would say that, which made him want to justify (if thats the right word to use :confused: ) that it had nothing to do with her its just he didn't feel it was the right time. He has doubts in his mind that he could end up like Max and desert the child and Stacey and he doesn't want to put either of them through the traumer he went through.
By the way! Did anyone notice when Stacey said "Why are you wearing that tie?" when she said that I had a feeling he put on a suit and tie on because thats what you do at a funeral and maybe it was his lil sign of respect to the baby. Or maybe I'm just reading too much into it! lol.
I don't think they really talk tonight do they? Someone said it was awkward when they meet again so maybe they just kinda blank each other! :lol:

Is there any pictures of them from tonights episode?
