Yeah, once Ruby goes (Pinkbanana does a little dance around the room! How many days til she gone?! lol) I think they need to bring another chum for Stacey, someone less dependent on her and needy would be good!!!

It's going to be difficult to strike the balance.
Maybe, but her new friend could bring out a bit more of the ol' stace out in her!Quote:

I think Bradley 'mates' are the ones he works with. I really hate that mob (in general)! I think they must have a bad influence on him. It's like they are above everyone else. I can just imagine the way Stacey would react meeting them!
Can you imagine combining an evening with Stacey's mates and Bradleys?! :)
I think it would be nice if Bradley developed a friendship with somebody in the square though, a different crowd from work. But not Deano! lol.
And Stacey definetely needs to have fun, so she needs a lively mate.
Yay, there in tommorows episode, Can't wait. I agree though Stacey needs a new chum, a trouble-maker? I want the 'ol' Stacey back.
Me too! lol. She needs to get bitchy! :)Quote:

She was pregnant wasn't she?! So she might have her baby by now.
They could come up with a story though. Maybe she gave it up for adoption or it could have died?!
The spoilers aren't coming thick and fast at the moment are they?! There seems to be a bit of a lull. :( Well with Bradley and Stacey anyway.
Hope to see something soon. :)
So when do you think they move in together? has anyone heard what happens in regards to the house?!
Does the fact that Stacey has a laugh at the landlords expense make Bradley angry?! People say they have a row, and I have read that's he's embarrassed by the situation.
I wouldn't have thought he'd have a go at her though. I thought he would tread carefully.
Inside Soap out tomorrow!
Hope they give us some new pictures. The only magazine I saw them in last week showed the photo of them in the abortion clinic. Maybe this week we'll get to see pictures of them in the new flat they are viewing.
Yeah I hope Inside Soap does have some news for us! :cheer:
So is our Bradley in tonight or is it just Stacey? Or neither?? lol I hope they are! As good as the whole Billy/Honey thing is I've missed Them both!!
I think Stace could be in it cause of the spoilers saying that Sean and Charlie clash over her 'sullen' attitude! So She maybe in it, probably rather briefly.Quote:

Yeah the spoilers tomorrow will hopefully reveal more about this moving in together business!!!
I switched onto EE and it had already started, did I miss a mention of Stacey's sullen attitude?! I read it in the spoilers too, but there was no scene between Charlie and Stacey that I saw. Or Charlie mentioning Stacey.Quote:

I know she's probably just trying to put on a brave front, but she seemed a bit too enthusiastic!
Stacey actually smiled in tonight's episode. She looks great when she smiles. It was nice to see. But again a bit of a contrast to the way she's been of late.
Looked on the front cover of Inside Soap and there's an interview with Charlie Clements. But it seems to be more about his personal life, than what's happening in EE.
From a storyline point of view it seems the main ones in EE are about Peggy and Denise.
Just had a skim through some of the mags. Stacey and Bradley are on the front of most of them.
I did read a bit in one of the magazines that said that the landlord would rather have squatters than Stacey living there! lol. So whatever she does must be pretty bad. I think the landlords name is Alex, just caught that bit.
It mentioned that Bradley loves Stacey and wants to have kids with her in the future, but now he's concentrating on his career (which we already knew). But it said that the abortion will always be there in their relationship, and if they were to go on and have kids in the future. That would effect it.
Anyway it all seems like serious stuff! And sounds like their relationship is set to be longterm. Which is good news!
OOOh sounds good!!!I havent seen Bradley for ages cos i was away and so missed the abortion stuff!but i was watching yesterday and it flicked onto Sean sitting in the cafe and my head said oh Bradley and then i realised it was Sean!!!I dont know if its just me but i didnt realise they looked so similar until then!!!:ninja: Unless the holiday sun did go to my head!!:thumbsup: and im imagining it!!!!Quote:

Welcome back, Miss Nigella Harman! :)Quote:

Anyway hoping this next week's moving in together business is alittle more light hearted, and even amusing (fingers crossed), after the abortion stuff!
Welcome back Nigella! We were struggling to cope without your scans!:lol:
I never really thought about Bradley and Sean looking alike...I can't really see it!
The abortion thing was good and bad really....moastly bad though! Very upsetting!
I hope Bradley in tonight, but I don't think he is :( I'm missing the lil ginger ninja!
Sorry, bradley fan, but your ginger ninja wasnt in it tonight! :( lolQuote:

Also, credit where its due, you have been a total star on the ol' scanning front, whilst Nigella has been away! :clap:
Aww thanks alot Pinkbanana! Brings a tear to my eye! :lol: But I can't take the crown away form our very own Nigella....although I tried. (joke!!)Quote:

It was funny at the start of the episode, when we had Big Mo singing 'Cheeky girls', while the rest of the Slaters sat eating breakfast, with Stacey straightening her hair, and Sean wondering what the hell he'd gotten himself into. It was like typical Slater style! lol.
Wonder how Sean is going to come round to Charlie?! He's bound to eventually, if he's going to be living there. It's all about 'family' in EE isn't it?!
You reckon Charlie will be happy at Stacey moving out, and leaving Sean behind. If he isn't. Bradley may be forced to lodge with him! lol.
I don't think Bradley would lodge with Sean if they paid him! :lol:Quote:

I felt embarressed for Ruby in some of them scenes!It was obvious he wasn't interested! I wonder how Stacey will react to Sean being with Ruby?She doesn't seem too bothered about her fancying him, although she did pull alot of faces at her when she was flirting with him over breakfast! Do you think she'l click on that he's only after her for her money?
lol. I could see it happening actually. I mean Bradley owes her doesn't he?! Stacey may not be pleased with it herself, but he's her brother, and if it came to the crunch I think she'd take him in. Could be interesting! lol.Quote:

If he'd been interested he would have shown some sort of feeling. If he hasn't, he's obviously not worth having. She shouldn't run after him.Quote:
Originally Posted by bradley-fan

I'm thinking Stacey will twig at some point. But I think Ruby won't believe her, because according to the spoilers. Ruby wants to stay with Sean, when Johnny suggests running away. Might cause Stacey and Ruby to fall out?!
Stace doesn't seemed too disillusioned about her bro, she did say the other day he was barely human!!! lol So I would have thought she would click he is only after Rubee's dosh, and maybe she tries to warn Rubee, but Rubee being Rubee (an egocentric brat) she doesnt listen to her!
Cant say Ive warmed to Sean yet, he's a looker (though he does look like he's in need of a good wash), but thats about it! Definitely doesn't float my boat (yet)! lol
Yeah I'm thinking that too. Although Stacey is still in the dark about Sean's 'badge of honour', but it's early days. As far as his way with women are concerned and his attitude, I think Stacey realises he's not sweetness and light.Quote:

Stacey on the other hand is a different matter. I think Sean will have his work cut out with her! lol.
So glad Stacey is cheering herself up. It's just been so sad of late. Don't you just feel like hugging her?!
I got a perspective on the abortion talking to my mum tonight. She thought Bradley was horrible and non supportive. I was surprised by that because I thought she'd be all for Bradley's opinion of wanting a career. She's always drummed into me the importance of getting a decent job and a relationship, before you start on a family.
She said 'It's the woman's choice. Bradley should have said i'll go along with whatever you want to do'. It took me by surprise! I was like yes mum that's right, he should have, thankyou! lol.
Thinking back, I mean what was he thinking of?! He just took over the whole thing. It should have been Stacey's choice.
I don't see why he has an obligation to lie and say that he'll go along with whatever she wants, then while Stacey is buying baby stuff Bradley is looking for a way out. I'd prefer he told the truth and then everyone knows where they stand.
If Bradley had just stayed quiet about it and they had the baby, things would have been much worse if it didn't work out.
I agree that he should have said what he wanted, but I think he should have been more open to Stacey's ideas. If Stacey wanted the baby, he should have said, 'i'll be there for you'. That's what she needed to hear. She should have his support through everything, even if he doesn't agree with it. I think that's what a relationship is about.Quote:

But he did say he would respect her decision so in this case is should have been stacey to speak out and say "I want this baby".. Bradley gave her his reason for not wanting the baby but she never gave him reason why they should keep it... She even said herself at one stage that she didn't want to be a single mumQuote:

Stacey did say a few things at the clinic that showed that she wanted the baby. The reason she gave for wanting to keep it was love. Love for each other and love for the baby. There was no time when she said, 'I want this baby', but if Bradley knew her as well as he thought he did. He'd know what she really wanted, you could just tell. I felt he could have listened to Stacey, the way that she listened to him. He just dismissed all her feelings and anxieties. Blamed her not wanting to go through with it on being scared. I know Bradley said that she had to do what she wanted, but I felt that he made it seem like she'd be on her own. Not in the physical sense, but emotionally.Quote:

It was her feelings he was thinking about.. His dad kept him as a child and then 5 years later walked out.. he saw how his mum was and how much it affected him so he didn't want to put Stacey through that. Stacey wanted the baby for love but she also gave it up for love so either way the baby would not have made a difference to her feelings for bradley
To me I really didnt get the impression he was thinking of her feelings. He was thinking of how inconvenient it would be to his life, his plans for the future, his career (Im not saying that he didnt have valid points to make) rather than Stacey. Also when she was in such a state at the abortion clinic, crying and totally unsure what to do, he should have insisted that they go home and take a little more time to come to a resolution about the situation. I mean, she had only told him the night before!Quote:

I think the abortion will haunt, and ultimately finish off, this couple.:(
Yeah he was definetely being selfish! As you say some valid points, but it seemed like he was conducting a business deal, not getting rid of his baby. That 'tie thing' i'm sure it was a way of keeping his emotions at a distance. It was like if he just got his head down and got on with things, it would go away. He should have talked it through with Stacey properly, she needed him and he wasn't there for her.Quote:

When I was in this situation, same age, same time in the relationship, I kept the baby, against my boyfriends wishes. He said he'd stand by me etc. Six months later, he was gone. Never paid maintenance (£3.50 a week wasnt worth it anyway) and never made contact. Seven years ago, he signed papers disolving any parental responsibilities. Did I blame him for leaving me - yes, did I lose the plot with him and his family for leaving me - yes. Did I even begin to think about the fact that at the very start, he said he wasn't ready to be a father yet and therefore felt that we shouldn't go through with the pregnancy - no.
I've also been through the termination route and my partner actually told his parents that I was pregnant but I was having a termination - he wanted to go through with the pregnancy, I didn't. But it was still one of the hardest decisions that I ever had to make.
Bradley told Stacey how he felt and she made her decision from there. If he'd lied and said that he'd stand by her no matter what, because she felt she wanted to go through with the pregnancy and then they had gone the seperate ways, through the natural end of the relationship (not everyone gets together at 17 and stays together for life!), would everyone be having a go at Bradley then - he couldn't do anything right in some peoples eyes, no matter which way he played it, yet he was being honest with himself and with Stacey - to me, that was the bravest thing he could have done! Give the poor guy a break!
Stacey and Bradley don't truly know each other - they need to be together a while and enjoying their lives together before bringing a child in to a place which, frankly, at the moment, isnt a very great place to live.
You make some good points. You should be a lawyer! :)
I still love Bradley. I feel he could have been there for Stacey more than he was, but I can understand that it would be a hard situation for somebody of that age.
The thing is I think Stacey in a lot of ways is more mature than Bradley. She's much stronger. I love them together, but I think Stacey might need more than Bradley is prepared to give.
Maybe that might make her look else where, who knows?!
We do tend to be the more mature sex at that age :D
I did want to be, but time never seems to be available to study the relevant courses etc unfortunately. Although, mostly, I was speaking from the heart after my experiences.
Nothing in life is ever black and white. However my personal opinion on this 'soap couple' is that Bradley did rush her into having an abortion. They hardly took the time to discuss it. The next day they were at the abortion clinic. I truly think in that repect he was selfish, not brave (quite the opposite), he was keen to rush through with the abortion, so that Stacey didnt have time to really stop and think about the consequences. He was thinking about himself more than Stacey, and I think thats what I found quite difficult to watch, especially the scene in the abortion clinic when Stacey was obviously very distressed and crying, and he just wanted the whole thing over with. It showed a totally different/harder side to the Bradders we know!Quote:

Yes I think he might start to wonder if he did do the right thing. Well he already is, but it'll probably get worse, seeing the way Stacey is effected by it.Quote:

It'll be interesting to see what happens.
Not sure, I think seeing that Stacey hasn't 'bounced back' from it and is still withdrawn will make Bradders worry about her, but I think he will have convinced himself that they did the right thing. That maybe the case for him, but unsure about it being the right thing for Stacey (think she'll be affected for a very long time by it)!Quote:

Moreover, it looks like this abortion business is set to haunt them, you can tell that is the way EE is going with the storyline from reading spoilers and various TV mags! :(
Oh and if Sean finds out about it, then Bradders had better be a good runner - think I'd invest in a pair of decent trainers, if I was him!!!!
