I have to agree, the Stacey storyline is disgusting. I have really felt awkward when watching the programme with family. I don't understand what the scriptwriters are thinking, other than sado-masochism or child-rape, because the storyline is gravely perverted.

She's supposed to be the new Kat now ain't she?

Let's hope Lacey's private life doesn't go the same way as Jessie's!

She's been in the press once for "Romping" in a Hotel corridor.

Yes, it's legal, if you're going to be pedantic. But it's the fact she looks like a fifteen year old and he looks forty-odd. Urgh.

Well, talk about a semantic debate!

I have to agree though, it may not be a legal issue but it is rapidly decending into a carry-on type situation.

The 'I'll sleep with anyone to get my own back, especially your father' just seems completely absurd.

Celebration of sexuality it may be, but celebration of creative thinking - I don't think so.

Creative thinking - EastEnders - Hmm! Scratch Head

Joe Macer is to be killed off by EastEnders producers as the 'Who killed Pauline?' plot takes a new twist.

Macer - a key suspect in a police investigation of the death - will fall through a window following an argument with Jim Branning, leaving viewers guessing over whether he was murdered or committed suicide.

What a total rip-off of Emmerdale!

What's that proverb about the man that built his house on sand...

Totally, utterly sh*t twist for a character I actually hope dies sooner than later. He can take Martin, Sonia (although that'd be an achievement) and Rebecca with him. QUICKLY!

No, credible one don't. It's called plagiarism.
