I really loathe Stacey now...her character has turned into one of the most abhorrent and hateful ever on EE after the departure of Kat And Alfie.

She is just so unreasonable, passive aggressive, feckless, and overall a nasty selfish do not give a damn of any consequences which eventually she will blame anyone and everyone except herself at the end.

Horrible person and Martin is just dumb for staying around.

They're all the qualities I like about her.

I don't find Stacey detestable but her return hasn't worked for me so far. She seems to have lost "it" a bit. I'm not sure why because I used to love Stacey but I don't really enjoy watching her anymore.

She does treat Martin like dirt, snapping at him and talking diwn to him but then Martin isn't the most likeable guy himself.

She has behaved terribly recently, but so have most of the people around her. Martin, Jean and Kush have been awful in various ways, so it's hard to side with anyone .

I have tried so hard to feel for empathy for Stacey, she had a turbulent childhood, has been raped, widowed and has bi-polar but she is such a dam unlikeable character it is always about her, she is always the victim. Every one treats her unfairly, no one understands her ... god dam it get some counselling! She is not an angry teen anymore she is a grown woman, take ownership of your problems, face them, don't use them as an excuse and get some bloody help!!

She just doesn't seem to care. She treats anyone close to her like shit...

I have always hated this snarling beatch and I also find the actress's screen chewing acting unbearable to watch.

Sorry but I haven't watched in a few weeks but isn't her unreasonable behaviour being attributed to her bi polar? I think last I saw she was missing her meds and acting like a bit of a cow with everyone.

I don't understand her appeal either. She's a sourfaced, unlikeable misery who doesn't seem to like anybody or anything. She only speaks to whine, moan, nag or snap at people


I don't think the actress is terrible but she's very one note and a little pedestrian. Compare her to brilliant Linda Henry who also portrays an unlikeable character but brings various different colours to her performance to make Shirley well rounded and has the ability to make Shirley's flaws despicable but fascinating. No matter the scene Lacey Turner looks sour and miserable, no matter who she's talking to she'll do so in a nagging, whining or snappy manner. She's very samey and she gurns too much. I assume she is better in her other roles so maybe the character is the problem.

Another one here who cannot stand Stacey. I have never liked her from day one and can't understand her popularity. She's a throroughly nasty person and not even in a good way like Janine for example who knew exactly what she was and played up to it. Stacey treats people appallingly and then still plays the victim which is what annoys me about her.

BIB: that's the most annoying thing about her. I usually like villanous characters who make a mess of things, but Sracey's never ending victim act is just too off putting. Good example was when she learned that Shabnam was pregnant. She dared to be jealous of Shabnam whose fiancé had been cheating on her with Stacey, and had just been brutally beaten up. She acted like she was the victim. She hardly ever owns her actions or tries to make the mess she made any better.

Another Stacey hater here. She is so miserable and unpleasant why would any man be interested in her let alone two of them 'roll eyes'

I just want Martin to tell her to 'f' off

I know a lot of bad things have happened to her over the years, but I believe that would make he grow to be an extremely strong character, but with reason, you know like that she can give people help and advice and make people see sense, or reason with someone at a difficult moment, the kind of character people turn to because she's been through it all herself before for example. They did a great job with her advising Linda. Sadly at the moment they seem to just have her as a quite weak, mind changing, rash, just snappy and moaning person. I don't believe this to be the path planned for her character, originally and something has gone way wrong! I know bad and confusing things are happening around her, but I'm quite disappointed she's not so strong, decisive and feisty any more and just a moaning whiner. She's been snapping at everybody! I like the character of Stacey and shocked Martin does too haha! But I like what I thought the characters potential would become in the show, what she could be and I also like the actress Lacey, she can do so much more! I really hope to see things change soon and have her get her head straight (and I'm not even talking bipolar there, seems people are treating her into thinking her bipolar is the issue; when it's not, or is it?!) and just see if we can get the feisty but strong, levelheaded woman that we would all like to see her be, onscreen again!

He's obviously drawn to horrible women who will hen peck him like his mother. He'll be going for Shirley next!

She comes across as tough and needy at the same time.

She has always been written as very few characters want to take her on.

Lauren was always one of the few characters she was wary of

Stacey always had her faults but there was something about her that was very watchable and had me rooting for her in spite of her flaws. I think she's lost whatever that quality was and is no longer a character who stands out as being interesting or entertaining That's my issue with her much more than her unlikeability, she just doesn't hold my attention any more and I'm not sure why

As awful as that would be I actually think Shirley would be more of a laugh That just shows how truly bad Stacey has become
