Im expecting one of the babies to not come home. And I don't think it will be baby fowler. I'm expecting shabnam to want this new baby adopted after realising motherhood isn't for her. Baby fowler as a legacy character is probably pretty safe. If there is a cot death or death of one of the babies, please please please someone message me and warn me! I didn't lose my son to sids, he had cancer, but his passing was very similar to a cot death. I can't be watching that! Although I'm sure it would make very interesting viewing for someone who hasn't experienced losing a child. (I did notice some facts about it mentioned, I never researched it myself but me and my partner are very much still together.) I also don't really see another pregnancy happening with any other character any time soon! As for shabnam being 5 months pregnant and not showing. A friend of mine went to her twelve week scan and was told she's THIRTY EIGHT WEEKS! So crazy stuff really does happen! |

I feel like a heretic, but this is how I feel. I've never seen the fantastic actress everyone else seems to. A lot of the time, especially lately, I feel like she's phoning it in. She seems to have about 4 exaggerated expressions she pulls out to broadcast whatever she's supposed to be feeling. I've been waiting all these years to be moved or wowed by her, and it's just not happening. (I should probably be in the Unpopular Opinions thread, because I know it's probably The Most Unpopular Opinion )

I did a rant about Stacey a few pages back on this thread which I had been saving up for a few weeks for the unpopular opinions thread but never got the courage because I thought I'd really be mobbed Even the sight of her irritates me. She's an attractive woman. Not many would deny that. But its that thing where the same face being shoved at you can make you tired of seeing it. I noticed that a few years ago when her and Bradley were going on a date and they did close up shots of their faces as they looked into the mirror. And one of Stacey's pregnancy announcements to Bradley they did a weird camera angle for it. Maybe the directors realised seeing the same face can bore people and so decided to try different camera techniques to make the same merry go round of faces and storylines seem different

I'm not being biased (because I do like the character and actress) and have enjoyed many of her performances in EE but I think from my perspective from the outside looking in, objectively, I do feel like Lacey Turner almost always delivers whenever and wherever it needs be - ranging from Stacey's abortion, aftermath of Stax and her almost bafta worthy performance in the Bi-polar stroyline which she gained numerous accolades for. These are some of the reasons why Stacey has become almost an icon of 21st Century EastEnders because she is very memorable due to Turner's ability to evoke the sarcasm, wittiness and most of all the vulnerability of the character. However, I obviously know and can't expect everyone to like her because it's horses for courses at the end of the day - I mean, I, personally think Ross Kemp is awful and too self aware of his acting when he was in EE (especially the cringe worthy 2005 appearance) but I know some people won't agree with me. 'tis life I guess.

So are we thinking that we might find out what the key unlocks next week? |

Lacey Turner is the best actress the show has had relative to her lack of experience before she joined. Stacey can be a lot of things to a lot of people but one thing I've never doubted is the quality of acting - she's one of the best and brings everyone up who has worked with her. That's not the same as thinking she is the best ever or anything like that. Jean saying "you're not well" suggests she is going through another bipolar episode and her obsession with Kush may be a consequence of that. I think they're looking long term for her and Martin. |

I don't think there has been a time Lacey hasn't impressed me. I honestly believe she is the best actress in the show, however I have never seen anyone on here call her Lacey Turner MBE OBE or whatever so I'm not sure where that's come from. A lot of people appreciate her talents, if you don't - fine, but there's no need to exaggerate other people's reactions to her. |

Nobody is saying everybody has to rate either Stacey or Lacey Turner. A lot of people do love Stacey for sure, but there are also plenty who find her overrated or just simply don't like her. Lacey is rated highly by many for her acting, but no more so than various others in the cast. Personally Stacey is one of my all time favourites but I don't expect everybody to agree. I admit if people kept saying Lacey was crap I'd be confused but simply not rating her as top tier is just one of many opinions and if that's what you believe then feel free to say so. I've actually been reluctant to comment on Stacey recently because I feel like she hasn't really been clicking as a character and she's been a bit flat for a while which makes me a bit sad. She hasn't been terrible or anything, just......ordinary? I don't think Stacey and Martin is working which is really disappointing. Whatever the key unlocks I just want to see some episodes where Stacey shines as a character and I'm glad she'll be interacting with family again instead of just the love square. I have high hopes for this week Edited by WalfordCommon, 4 Jul 2015, 14:19.

Agree with this (not about Ross Kemp, how dare you! :p) I was never really a huge fan of Stacey in her first stint but Lacey has never faltered. She is possibly the best young actress the show has probably ever had and has gone from strength to strength into adulthood. So I do think she deserves better material that the Kush/Martin/Shabnam love square but next week does look pretty brilliant. |

They've made a big mistake with this love triangle storyline, it was not needed, but I hope Stacey having a Bipolar episode is the start of some more big material for her. I do agree that Stacey/Martin isn't quite clicking yet, but in time that could change. Lacey Turner has always impressed me too, one of the best young Actresses the show has ever produced, she basically learnt all her craft on the set without any particular big experience and continues to go from strength to strength. Stacey's always been a divisive character, you either like her or you don't, fair enough and if people don't rate Lacey's acting, then that is fine too, each to their own. It's like how I don't like Sharon much now, but only think Letitia Dean is a passable enough Actress and isn't really up there with people who I consider to be better Actors than her in the show, now that is unpopular. |

The thing is, even if Stacey is having a bipolar episode, the fact that this love square stuff has been so unpopular means it was completely the wrong way to go about it. It would give a reason for it but wouldn't make up for the weeks of tedium. I'm also slightly worried about Stacey's key. I feel like we're heading for another big, history-changing twist and I just think we've had so many this year. I love big twists as much as the next guy but what EastEnders really needs at the minute is the solid, kitchen sink drama it did so well in Thursday's episode. |

They are never going to reach the same heights with Stacey's character as in her first stint ever again. However I will give DTC credit for Stacey's organic development after her disastrous final year and exit. This makes it even more baffling for me to understand why after all that good work he would allow for Stacey to be embroiled in some badly written love square which completely regresses Stacey as a character for no good reason. I do really hope that this leads to a full blown bipolar episode in order to get all this nonsense over and done with. I admit I haven't always liked Stacey as a character, especially when she was having an affair with Ryan in 2010, but I always found Lacey Turner to be a very talented young actress. She is one of the many good actors that this show has had, past and present. Edited by Blokeoptimistic, 4 Jul 2015, 15:21.

I'd love it if the key meant a guest stint for Sean. Roxy's face at seeing him in the square again would be a sight to behold! |

Ah I just remembered I had a dream he returned for a couple of episodes! Would love it if Sean returned. Considering the history, it would be the perfect time for Sean to return. I'd be very interested to see how Sean handled Stacey now she is diagnosed with Bi-Polar. |

I found Sean marmite, but he was a great character. He and Jean didn't have the most easiest or closest relationship, but they did still love each other. I liked how protective he and Stacey were over each other. Lacey and Rob really did work so good together and with Gillian in that equation too. I also felt sorry for Sean when he found out that Amy wasn't his and damn right.. Dean would be petrified if Sean turned up due to how much Sean used to terrorise him, ha ha! .

So excited for Jean and Stacey's scenes on Monday. Jean is my favourite character and I have always loved Stacey and Jean's mother-daughter relationship. Gillian Wright and Lacey Turner are so believable as mum-daughter. |

That's fair. I loved Sean and him and Roxy were half the reason I started watching again! But I miss Rob as an actor too. We need a rough around the edges bad boy that can act. In my opinion, and I know I'll ruffle some feathers here - but Sean was the successor to Grant. I agree I liked how protective he was of Stacey and what you mentioned about Jean. That's what would make it so interesting if he came back and had to deal worth a Bi-Polar Stacey. I think it could lead to a reconciliation with Jean and the truth about Brian. That chapter was never finished with Sean. |

I totally agree. There were times I felt sorry for Sean and liked him, but there were also times where he did stuff that put me off him. He and Roxy were great together. It seemed like Sean's arc had come to an abrupt end and was never quite finished. |
