I thought the ending was a bit cliche, but at the very least, it was nice that Stacey left with a reasonably happy ending, and a chance at a new future with her baby. Having her carted off to jail or splattered over the pavement just would have felt harsh for a character who they used as a bit of a whipping tool over the years.
It was the worst exit, she may as well have gone off in a black cab, if they messed this up, I dread to think of the mess that baby swap SL is gonna be.

Just what me and my fellow screenwriters at uni were saying! They should let us have a go, like, write an episode each. We couldn't do much worse.
i didnt enjoy it, but i didnt think i would considering last nights let down and the ruination of what could have been a fantastic reveal akin to sharongate, tonights felt like a cross between the live & Kaffs exit, it was the live apart from both Ryan & Max took bradleys place in the plot. The janine stabbing herself was a clever idea and i can see what they were trying to do with it but it looked like those scenes written and slotted in to the live script and kaffys exit was lumped on the end.
I see lots enjoyed it though but it wont make my top 5 EE xmas's sorry.
being honest if anyone in eastenders does commit a crime they are never jailed or even arrested! the only 2 I can think of was when janine got arrested for lauras fall or chrissie for dens murder beyond that the police are rubbish in it! doesnt say much for our justice system does it!

At least tracey in corrie went down
It's really quite alarming when three of the main characters on the show tonight were all unpunished killers. (Stacey, Janine and Ryan)

Hardly. I wanted Stacey to get caught but the way everything played out made me change my mind towards the end. Everything in the episode made it seems so real and beleivable. The acting, directing and the awsome writing.
You havn't seen the New Years eps yet so me thinks it a little early to judge.

I am still stunned that this was the christmas episode and that Stacey left as some kind of tragic hero on the run.
I am sure you'd have done much better, it's also incredible that only Janine and Roxy wanted her punished.
The only believable scene was Jean when she thought that Stacey had stabbed Janine.

Acting? Directing? Awesome Writing? I didn't see any of this on tonights show, what I saw was absolutely missable.
I don't really think I'll be tuning in to the NY episode, swapping a dead baby and Ronnie being the one that does it is just a step too far. Nevermind the cutting of scenes. The story including Ronnie is wrong on so many levels. Losing a newborn is hard enough without adding more garbage to sell the tale.
better if she had threw herself over even though there has been too many ee christmas/new year deaths over the last handful of years
Is it just me that doesn't get this
First you say it would be better if she threw herself over(probably dying) then you say there have been too many deaths (which sounds like a criticism)

Off the top of my head Eastenders characters who went to prison:
Lucas Johnson(multiple murders, only recently)
Mathew Rose(wrongly accused)
Little Mo(for attempted murder)
Johnny Allen - died in prison
Ben Mitchell( had a recent stint in prison)
Grant Mitchell spent time in prison where Sharon then had an affair with Phil while he was inside

Well, as the build up was so rubbish anyway and the way it ended it would have been better if she had have through herself off.
But, I think overall there has been too many ee xmas/new year deaths. To be honest the story line should have been written entirely different I think Max should have turned against her she should have went down at least it would have been abit different from the usual tripe of I get away before anyone catches me!/ or I die when every one is singing carrolls round the christmas tree!!!

The police arn't even aware Zoe was near the murder.
Some people on here are never happy unless someone dies:rolleyes:.

Stacey's character had been completely ruined though so it's unsurprising. She never even mentioned Sean or sent him a photo of his niece.
She and Bradley should have gotten away. Perfect ending.
UNORIGINAL much EEs
So have we. Glad to see the back of her and her sleaze.

Plus that was 12 years ago. :rolleyes:
What is original in soap these days?
I see lots enjoyed it though but it wont make my top 5 EE xmas's sorry.
The final scenes is exactly what I was referring too
