EastEnders has aired another a huge twist in Stacey Slater's ongoing stalker storyline.
Spoilers for this week's episodes had confirmed that a shocking incident would occur in the wake of Theo's hearing, but further details had been held back until transmission.
Viewers know that Theo has developed a sinister obsession with Stacey in recent months, but her attempts to get a Stalking Protection Order against him were denied in Monday's scenes.

The fallout of the magistrate's decision has far-reaching consequences for Stacey in Tuesday's iPlayer episode (October 3), as Theo makes it clear that the ruling hasn't changed anything for him.
In a horrifying turn of events, Theo later breaks into the Slater house while Stacey is home alone and attempts to rape her.
Theo is interrupted by Freddie, who arrives at the Slaters wanting to apologise to Stacey for their earlier run-in.
Horrified, and full of emotion following his altercation with Graham, Freddie then attacks Theo to try to make him stop.
A vicious fight between them ensues, but things get out of hand when Freddie repeatedly hits an unconscious Theo, consumed with pure rage.
The closing moments of the episode saw Stacey and Freddie stand over a lifeless Theo, as the reality of what has just happened dawns on them. Will Theo be okay?
