Stacey/Bradley *May contain Spoilers*

[Joy2286]

I found the way Bradley said I love you after everything at the party, quite bizarre. The way Bradley sounded at the party talking to Stacey, he was so cold and heartless. It didn't sound like he was saying it out of anger (to me). It was more scary, cause he didn't shout, or get upset. It was totally direct. I find Bradley really hard to work out, at times.

What Jim was saying to Dot the other day about how women get emotional, and men get angry, in certain situations. In Bradley's case, it seemed he kept everything he felt well and truly bottled up. Maybe I'm just not intuative enough. But I watched it several times. Nothing gave me the idea that Bradley was feeling anything other than disgust.

Until after she'd gone, and we saw Bradley's reaction to Rhys. That made me feel that there was still something there. But I don't see how Bradley could expect Stacey to be all nice as pie to him after that.

I did feel emotional when Bradley told Max he loved her though. And I do want Bradley and Stacey back together. I do hope though, that Bradley does take some credit for the way Stacey has ended up. He doesn't deserve the Max stuff, but it's clear she's been pushed to the end of her tether.

When Stacey was crying that she loved him and he turned round and said "Tough" I think he felt a bit remorseful then but he'd just had enough by that point after all her antics during the evening and after what he'd just said he couldn't exactly turn round and say "Ok I forgive you."

I actually think he reckoned something had gone on between Stacey and Rhys and after everything he went through with his Mum & Dad he couldn't take it.

I think they've both pushed each other to the end of their tethers tbh! Stacey because Bradley's been so wrapped up in his career that he's not really bothered to think or ask her about how she's been feeling after the abortion and Bradley because ever since the abortion he's never been able to do anything right for Stacey when all he wants is to make it up to her and prove he does love her! As I've said before it's 6 of 1 and half a dozen of the other where those two are concerned

Yeah, I definetely think they have both done things that have been wrong. And I can see why Bradley would have suspected intitally that Rhys and Stacey had got together.

It seemed though that after Stacey had gone, Bradley had come to the realisation that nothing had gone on between her and Rhys. And it seemed that he had regained his trust in her. He told Rhys where to go, which showed loyalty on his part. And I think deep down, he knew that she wouldn't have cheated.

God, I think this Max thing is going to destroy him!

ah,thanks!!Im really shocked with the DS stuff about Sean beating Bradders up,I guess thats what the Daily Star were talking about with their shocking twist stuff.

What did it say in the Daily Star?! I think I might have missed that.

Yeah, I could see that actually. But it seemed at the time, that he could have been pitying her rather than actually showing remorse.

But when she'd left it was clear that he felt really bad about what had happened. I think his realisation of his feelings came flooding back. I don't think he wanted to go home from the party, just cause of the party being ruined. But also because he felt bad about Stacey.

No offence to any Max fans but surley Stacey can't want to hurt Bradley THAT much to sleep with his dad whenever he clicks his fingers!
Also does Max actually have feelings for Stacey? Or he just using her like shes using him? It's quite confusing me (and it doesn't take much!!!) Because why would Max tell Bradley to look else where when he said he loved Stacey?
AND ANOTHER THING!! (lol) Why wouldn't Bradley go home to be with his mam on Christmas?! The poor cow didn't even get a mention!

[bradley_fan]

By the way Nigella well done for getting on the Eastend site! And I agree with you!!

[Nigella harman]

Yeah!!Thanks.

I know a lot of people are puzzled by the "tough" comment Bradders made in reply to Stacey saying she loved him,but it stands out that he didnt say something else at the time,He didnt say,"well i dont love you".Surely thats what you would say if you were finishing things for good.Stacey is too clever for this storyline,she wouldnt have just taken that,she would have fought for him,not given up and gone home,trusting only the guy she then says is responsible for her relationship and pregnancy ending.Max.This storyline is full of holes,and whats more just doesnt make sense.Which i guess is why there is such a backlash. And im sorry but im glad.Eastenders laughed at us lot when we said the public didnt want this, Stacey supposidly loves Bradley,but you would never guess from her behaviour,at least show her once or twice looking sad in her room,or looking at a photo or something,cause she is losing popularity fast and yet again the rumour has surfaced that she is leaving!cause people just cant believe the change in character!On digi spy they are saying she must die this year! Bradleys seems to have very little part in his own families storyline!where is he?And what Max is doing makes no sense either.

In all honesty,I think Stacey is enjoying this too much,you just wouldnt do this to someone you loved,no way.The Kat thing is way over the top,shes a totally different person overnight!and all that character development has gone out the window.Its cheapened beyond belief all the stuff we watched last year,and i fear,after seeing the stuff coming up for Sonia and Martin,that when this all comes out it will be a nightmare.There isnt going to be a happy ending.

I think we need to prepare ourselves for the fact that A-Stacey will be hated,B-they will not be getting back together anytime in the near future at least and C-they are going to tear each other apart. sorry guys.

If i remember rightly it says something along the lines of-"Stacey continues with her vendetta against the Brannings but there is a shocking development" or something like that!Stacey continues her campaign against the Brannings but events take a shocking twist......,there,copied and pasted for accuracy!!!!!

I agree with everything you've just said Little Mo. He could well have headed home from the party with the intention of going round to see Stacey and apologising but then when he saw his car smashed up that was it.

Much as it's going to be great telly I'm going to be devastated for Bradley when it all comes out because in spite of whatever goes on with Lydia I do genuinely believe that Stacey is the one he really wants. He also wants a Dad to look up to but Max is going to totally destroy that for Bradley when he realises what Max and Stacey have done! Poor thing! *big hugs for Bradders*

Hmmm intriguing! Wonder what's going to happen- I can see it being a while before Bradley and Tanya find out yet so I wonder what it is
