I really, really hope that Lacey won't be leaving any time soon. I'd be as sad to see her go as I was to see Bradley go. But you're right that these things always come out.

As for the outcome, I was disappointed until I read Davey's theory on another thread that Stacey confessed to Bradley in the bedroom. I was angry that Stacey would have let Bradley suffer all that whilst knowing that she was the murderer and could have confessed to save him. It seemed totally out of character. Now that I think Bradley knew at the end it makes more sense to me, so I'm now satisfied with the outcome.

I'm really glad the murderer wasn't someone outlandish.
