Do we want her to stay away from Max for good?
Do we want her to stay single?
Do we want her to become part of a new power couple? - like how Kat and Alfie started off

What do we want to see?

A lesbian murderess pairing between her and Ronnie.

1) Yes
2)Yes
3)No
I don't want her to have anything to do with the Carters or Deano. I hope she is not shoved into every sl, and to stop all this fawning over her.

I just want to see her being a good mother to Lily and putting her daughter first before relationships. Maybe Lily could fall ill like gets leukemia or meningitis.

I'd like her and Max to get together to be honest. I think they have good on screen chemistry and frankly I cant watch Max have any romantic involvement with anyone else.

God only knows where she is going to work...just on the market with Kat I guess but that is pretty limited...

1) I want Max kept away from all women, in fact send him into therapy for sex addiction.
2) Yes, keep Stacey single.
3) No, I don't like Kat and Alfie together and I couldn't stand something similar.

I think she should initially play more of a supporting part. Keep her fairly low profile, slowly establish the type of person she's become since she was away. Don't chuck her into a romantic relationship immediately. A nice friendship with Nancy would be good, as I think the two of them would get on well. Whatever happens, we don't need more doom and gloom for her. Focus on her being a mum.

She could always go back to her maiden name.

Good is boring. Send her on the rampage with Ronnie.

Then they can make out in celebration for a good day's work.

Now that's what you call a power couple.....

To be honest, I'd be quite happy if that was it for now. Serving a prison sentence and actually serving it and clearing Bradley's name would be just. It'd also give some justice to the likes of Ronnie, Janine and such all getting away with murder.

However.

NO MAX. That is history.

I'd also say that Stacey needs a friend. Walford needs people Stacey's age. At the moment you've got young children and teenagers, their parents and then the elderly. I can't think of a single character, excluding Shabnam, that would be around Stacey's age (25).

Stacey's backside in that horrible red coat as she climbs into a taxi and leaves Walford never to return.

I think Dean's the only other person Stacey's age.

Aren't there quite a few characters in the early 20s age group? I assumed that Fatboy, Dexter, Jay, Lauren, Peter, Nancy and Lee are all in their early twenties, though I could be wrong on a couple of those. And Dean will be mid twenties when he's back properly. It's hardly an underrepresented age group. There's barely any difference between early and mid twenties.

Peter is is 21 (just like his twin Lucy) that is only 4 years younger than her, Lee is 23, Nancy is 21, Dean is 25 or 26 and Shabnam is 25 (?). Actually there's quite a few people around her age, unless you're looking for people who are exactly 25 and not a year younger or older......

It's hard to believe that Stacey is still so young after all she's been through. Putting her next to Dexter and Lee, it would be difficult to see that there's only a couple of years difference.

I've just had to look her age up. She's around 24/25 which surprised me a little as I'd have had her as late 20s, mainly I guess because of how much has happened to her since she first showed up on our screens. While they will inevitably be looking to pair her up in some sort of relationship, I'd like to see her make a good female friend first. Perhaps she could join up with Sonia which would really hack screechy Bianca off which is always a good thing. I'm enjoying Sonia's friendship with Tina but it's blatantly obvious which way that's heading so a platonic friendship would be good. She could bounce well off Lola as well, seeing as they have both had to deal with being single mums at a young age.

I think a relationship with Lee Carter is inevitable, which isn't the worst thing that could happen. Better than Max. That ship has definitely sailed. And good god no, we don't want anything remotely Kat and Alfie-esque. Putting her with that gurning buffoon has ruined the character and I don't want Stacey going down the same route.

I think her and Lee look about the same age, and both have been through traumatic experiences that will make them act mature for their age. I do agree that it can be difficult sometimes to remember that Stacey is still very much a young adult, but that's more because of the misery that's been heaped on her during the time she's been on the show.

I don't mind Max and Stacey together and I think them actually trying to make it work as a couple could be interesting but it's not the best option for either character right now. Maybe in a few years if both are still in the show, after being friends for a while and Max has addressed his obvious problems, and has moved away from this 'unlikely lothario' crap.

Not really sure what they can do with Stacey, we saw glimpses of a more mature Stacey in her initial return (she was the only one acting decently in that whole mess of a storyline) so I hope that continues. Given that there are enough big storylines happening this year (Lucy's death, Carol's cancer, and the Carters) then I think they should just have her putting her life on the square back together and then give her a big storyline after the 30th.

Max and her definitely need to be kept apart. It's bad enough Carol and David are rest inner into a great love story , without Max and Stacey being turned into one. I think she needs some friends apart from Kat. I'd like to see her be single for a while and I hope her mental health issues are revisited at some point.

Spot on, and I love the idea of a Nancy/Stacey friendship.

We've had Stacey the teenager, now let's see Stacey the woman. A woman who puts her child first (rare in EE) and thinks before she acts. I honestly think she's made a good start....she doesn't want to lie to her child as she's growing up and has done absolutely the right thing.

I agree with this. Stacey as a mother is good so far.

With Bianca leaving, I can see Nancy and Stacey taking up the 'strong female friendship' mantle that will be left over from Bianca and Kat. EE is really bad at depicting female friendship so it would be nice to see this happen. I think Nancy will bring out Stacey's more youthful and innocent side, and Nancy might get more screen time as a result of it which is never a bad thing. Win win all round.

I'd like to see her leave again. Her return was rubbish and made all the characters around her act like assholes. The reverence this character receives has always eluded me.
