Roxy and Dean and Abi and Ben will be expecting by the end of the year too. Possibly Les and Claudette too.
Ah don't give them examples of characters and couples that haven't had kids together yet it will give them ideas! :P
It's a good job Ben can't get Paul pregnant.

Lacey has done two series of "Our Girl" already and she must have known about the plans for her character way in advanced to decline that show. This key better be interesting DTC. Oh, and I just realised Stacey will be due around the show's anniversary next year. So a Martin and Stacey wedding and baby perhaps?

I could both laugh and cry at how farcical and OTT EastEnders has come in recent months. Such a shame to see happen to a once brilliant show.

Anyone else think Shabham's pregnancy is just some contrived way of bring her back to bond with her daughter? I wouldn't be surprised if she miscarries after growing fond of the idea of having another child, as she was kicked in the stomach repeatedly.
It just seems to me like because Stacy has no one on the square anymore (but she's got such potential) and EE is so "family" driven now that the only way they can cement her a place in Walford by soldering her to the Martin Fowlers hip. Which is a huggeeeee mistake, and I just feel sorry for Rebekah after reading this.
If they don't understand contraception in Walford then maybe all the blokes should be neutered.

I have been quite vocal on how I feel about the Stacey character and Lacey Turner for some time. I don't believe Lacey is a terrible actress or Stacey is a terrible character. I just think they're average. Yet the obsession that seems to surround them both is quite creepy to me and I noticed it more when I was discussing the key storyline with a friend and he said "I don't care if the key unlocks a picture of Stacey just so long as it gives us some great acting from Ms Turner". This is a guy with no sense of humour and is very difficult to impress.

And it made me realise that the obsession with Lacey Turner is quite weird to me. The endless praise she gets if we see Lacey so much as order a coffee from the cafe. The casting of Lacey Turner's sister/cousin a few years back (I still believe the character Kat and Alfie were looking after was created specifically for Lacey's relative). The way some people talk about Lacey Turner like she's actual army personnel simply because she does Our Girl. The fact Stacey gets rushed out of prison using an appeals procedure that takes years just to have her wander into other people's storylines for a year. Any other character did that they'd be slated for it (no pun intended).

And now this unimaginative storyline is (possibly) being announced as the big thing we've waited all week to find out about just because its Stacey. And I suspect Stacey will be the victim at the end of this affair storyline too. Give it a few months and we'll have Albert Square completely on fire, Stacey Slater standing watching the whole thing with an evil grin on her face as DTC sobs uncontrollably while saying "Its a good thing you've set the Square on fire. A real good thing. And tomorrow...tomorrow's gonna be a real good day." (Twilight Zone reference)

I'm not trying to imply Lacey is behind all this over zealous hype herself or knock people that do love the character or actress. And even I admit she's good. Just I've always been suspicious of over the top praise.

Although if there was any hope that I would ever like the Stacey character then that hope has gone after reading this announcement. And although I've given DTC a bit of a hard time on these forums as well I also believed he has done a lot of good for the show. My hope for him is dwindling right now as well.

Off to the corn field I go.

You will find that any person in the public eye, whether it be a singer, actress or a reality TV star, will attract legions of fans. Personally I would prefer to see people 'fawning' over someone talented like Lacey Turner than the likes of the Kardashians.

And besides Letitia Dean, Jessie Wallace and Linda Henry all have plenty of fans on here too. I really don't understand the hype over Jessie Wallace but there you go. It doesn't bother me in the slightest if someone I'm not keen on is popular with a wide audience

Its just the way people seem to talk about her. I agree I'd rather watch her than some reality star I just can't see personally why she is so overhyped.

Well, Phil Mitchell was caught point blank doing an armed robbery yet we were to believe he escaped Jail because Grant allegedly paid a "witness" to change his testimony and then Phil was released. That was insulting to the viewers intelligence because he would have gone down for years but we all let it go by simply because it was indeed Phil. Mitchell.

Whereas I totally get the hype for both Lacey and Jessie but don't see it for Letitia....... it's all just opinions, nothing to get worked up over.

As for the spoiler I'm not even surprised, I've actually been expecting a Stacey pregnancy spoiler although I admit I figured it would be Kush's. The lack of imagination is seriously depressing.

Who let it go? Most Mitchell fans thought it was a joke on the boards. It wasn't that realistic but I guess it could happen, cases often collapse before court but it was stupid. Stacey walking out of a murder charge based on mental health grounds never is the next few days. It is months and often years. Literally never happens. It was insulting to people who really do have mental health problems in the system and something that never happens.

I'm not worked up over anything. And I don't see there is much of a hype for Letitia Dean in all fairness. Theres praise for her but its not got to the point where her family are turning up in roles that make no sense.

What happened with Phil could not have happened in a million years, especially when he was caught red-handed with CCTV and everything at that builing. They were stealing money. It was bound to have cameras in every corner. In both instances it was completely unrealistic and insulted the viewers intelligence but as fans of the show and these very popular characters we choose to overlook it.

No idea who this we is. Certainly doesn't speak for me.
Not sure why the Mitchell plots in various threads unrelated to them keep popping up? Power of the Mitchells I guess.
Back to Stacey nothing of real note has been done with her. After a shaky return (all that fanwank mini appearances) she settled in well. Well scary to think as a C lister she was super popular since her return. Now they give her something and its this crap? And I am fast giving a toss about the key. No casuals give a crap or even know.

I don't think there was CCTV in the building otherwise Den would have been caught as well. I know the two of them passed the gaurd and he appeared to be watching some kind of monitor but as he was "on the payroll" he likely could have lost the CCTV. Phil's original statement was that he was called there to do a business deal and eventually locked in. He never grassed Den up specifically. So in all fairness he didn't need Grant to have a word with the gaurd because the evidence was lacking any way. Not to mention the bungled Lisa Fowler murder inquiry that had happened just before the robbery. So I think Phil being cleared was inevitable.

Kind of proves that Den isn't the super genius he was made out to be at the time. And he's a character I liked.
