Stacey is not a good person. Not in any way. Other characters are bitches, bastards, murderers, adulterers and everything else but somewhere deep down there's a smidgeon of compassion and good. Not our Stace. She's out for herself and **** anyone who gets in her way. But PLEASE make sure you feel sorry for her! It's not her fault she's a cow!

That was quite possibly the worst thing she ever did. She professed to love Bradley and yet was quite happy for his memory to be tarnished as a murderer while she went off and lived the high life for years.
I thought when she confessed to it they were going to turn the character around but no, she's right back where she started. And bloody sanctimonious to boot!!

Stacey can be redeemed.

what would you do to redeem Stacey and Ian?

Quite. I think 15 years in prison for killing the old man will be good enough.

I don't want Lacey to leave Eastenders for 15 years and I don't want Lily to leave.

she just can't stand to see anyone else happy, she has to ruin it for them, she said to Kush, we just have to move on and forget about it, then why the f--k say any thing in the 1st place...

I do. Justice for the old man.
I have never really liked Stacey, but I am finding her quite unbearable in he current state. She did many questionable things in her first stint but at least least she also had regular moments of vulnerability that allowed viewers to invest in her. Not so this time around. She is pretty much a constant bitch now. The one humanising relationship she had was with Shabnam (when she wasn't chasing after her fella) but that's well and truly gone out the window now as well. She treats Martin like absolute dirt 90% of the time. He may not be a fantastic catch, but neither is she, frankly. She treats him like he should be grateful that she is even giving him the time of day.
It's funny because for a while earlier in this stint it seemed they had repackaged her into some kind of saintly sage, going around dishing out wisdom to all and sundry. But now she is back to the same old, same old, sneaking around with another married man. Lacey shouldn't have bothered returning for this crap.

The men in relationships who Stacey slept with are equally to blame. Women are usually the ones blamed and called names when they have an affair with an attached man. I'm aware Max gets called names now and again but it is mostly the women who are verbally attacked for it including online. I enjoy watching Stacey and think Lacey Turner is a fantastic actress. Unfortunately she's been paired with boring old Martin and had a thing with dull Kush. I think Stacey will be given a new lease of life when Kat returns. I enjoy Kat and Stacey together. With a bit of luck Alfie will be killed off and Kat and Stacey will have more scenes together. I disagree that Lacey Turner should quit, she just needs Kat and better writing.
This new transgender character who is in some way connected to Stacey could be seen as the start of a redemption perhaps......
I just dread the thoughts of the Kush is the daddy reveal and the devastation it will mean for Shabnam. That was the step too far for me where Stacey is concerned. Yes, Kush is at fault too but they way Stacey was mooning at him around that time left you in no doubt that she wanted him, one way or another. She could have just kept her legs closed for once, pardon my vulgarity but that's how I feel about it.

Strange thing is I suspect in the Elstree writers bubble were expected to be sympathetic and root for Stacey.”

I didn't like her when she first appeared but she grew on me quickly. I couldn't stand her by the time she left what appeared to have become the Stacey Show.
Nevertheless, I liked the more mature Stacey that returned and while I still don't hate her (although I hate the storyline), I can't see me having any sympathy for her after last week's shit revelation.

Really? Wanting someone to pay for murder is fair enough, but "justice" for that paedophile? He wasn't punished for molesting his own daughter.

Very much every now and again, unlike female characters. I've seen characters like Whitney being called a slag, tart, bike and other words way more than him and I only ever really recall her sleeping around when she was with her abusive boyfriend. Meh, I'm used to it.
Saying that though, Stacey bugs the shit out of me.

Where will Lily go to? I want to see Lily as a young teen on the Square so when she is 13, 14 and 15 and rebelling against Stacey.

That "old man" was a raping nonce. He was a paedophile. I'm GLAD he was killed off and by a woman too. You want justice for an old nonce?

I agree I hated Archie. He was a scumbag who raped Stacey and lied to Ronnie that her daughter was dead and kick his own family out of the pub. Stacey had her reasons to kill Archie.

15 years is a bit long don't you think? 5 years would be sufficient, anyway he was a paedophile and a rapist.

Did i claim or make a remark that they did or did not? Clearly not.
My remarks on Stacey are no different to how I would describe a male character doing the same thing. In fact, I have argued the same thing in the past with Max.

I'm not for one second excusing anything than Archie did, but his crimes didn't give Stacey the right to take the law into her own hands. She should've reported the rape to the police, not turned vigilante. If she had killed him during, or immediately after the rape I would be far more understanding, But she didn't. It was a premeditated, revenge killing.
My only issue with Stacey over the prison thing was that she used her Bipolar as an excuse to get out of prison. Her bipolar had no influence on her killing Archie at all.
... an absolute cowbag. Ever since she's been in EE she has been! I did feel sorry for her with the bipolar storyline when she was in it before but since she's been back she's unredeemable (sic) now she's done this to Shabnam with the d*ckhead Kush. But unlike Janine who was a bitch we love to hate, Stacey is just hateful. She has no nice qualities, is a crap friend and Martin deserves better

Well you named them in the op but didn't make any comment about it so it wasn't clear..
A leopard never changes its spots I guess. Anyone that tricks a man into bringing up a kid that isn't his is beyond redemption to me, it's so cruel. I hope the truth comes out soon. Stacey was so blasé when explaining her plan to Kush too 
Shes has always been self serving but I thought that getting older/going to prison/having a daughter would change her. Nope still just using everyone at her convenience and looking after number one.

Sounds like an excuse to be hositle towards me following our disagreement the other day. I thought you were better than that. That will teach me not to think highly of members on here again.
