Despite having a wealth of evidence to support her claims, Stacey begins to feel the pressure as Theo’s lawyer turns the screw, with Turner revealing that her character will be in for quite a shock.
“Stacey sees Theo skulking off to court in a posh suit with a fancy lawyer and worries he will sway the judge,” revealed Turner. “It’s so hard because everything Theo does to twist the truth feels like another blow to Stacey.”
“She knows that Theo is a stalker and that he did all these things she’s accused him of, so to hear it twisted like this is unbearable,” she added, before explaining why Stacey reacts with an emotional speech.

“I think it’s a chance for her to have her voice heard, even if it’s unwise to go against the advice she’s been given,” said Turner. “She hopes that the judge might understand how terrifying this has been for her and see through Theo’s nice guy façade.
“She is a fighter so I’m not surprised that she can’t keep quiet in the face of so many lies. He’s done so many things, and when she hears them described in court, it makes her skin crawl – she can’t imagine that the court could hear that and not grant her the Stalking Protection Order.”
EastEnders airs on Mondays - Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer.
