EastEnders fans are growing increasingly concerned for the well-being of Stacey Slater as stalker Theo Hawthorne continues to exploit her vulnerabilities and isolate her from her friends.
Theo's Sinister Plot Unveiled
Actor William Ellis plays the menacing character, who has been secretly stalking and terrorizing Stacey for months. Now, his focus is on eliminating her friend and protector, Eve Unwin.
Eve's Distress Fuels Theo's Manipulation
Eve was thrown off balance this week when she encountered the woman responsible for her twin sister's death. The traumatic experience sent her into a dangerous spiral, resulting in her destructive outburst in the kitchen moments before the arrival of Stacey's daughter Lily's social worker.
Stacey was understandably worried, and Theo seized this opportunity to exploit the situation.
Manipulative Tactics at Play
During a conversation with Theo, Stacey expressed her concern for Eve, saying, "When I first met her, I knew she needed someone to protect her. I told her not to go alone, like a sister would say. But she went anyway, and look what happened."
Theo responded insidiously, saying, "Maybe she doesn't want a family? Maybe you can't replace her sister." These remarks caused Stacey to question Eve's stability.
Stacey confessed, "Eve is a loose cannon. She always has been, she’s unpredictable."
Theo's Plan Unfolds
Theo continued his manipulative tactics, asking Stacey, "And is unpredictable what you need in the house right now? Lily’s life is about to get very unpredictable over the next few months. I’m just looking out for her and the little baby." By planting seeds of doubt, Theo successfully pushed Stacey to make a life-changing decision.
Stacey Makes a Devastating Choice
Stacey ultimately confronted Eve, saying, "Eve, I love you, but what did I say to you this morning? I’m your family, and I know you better than anyone. Why would you throw that away? We cannot be living with some liability that flips out like that. I don’t know if you can live here in this state while Lily is about to bring the most precious thing into this world."
Eve, devastated, left the house, muttering, "Thanks. Family."
Fans Fear for Stacey's Safety
As Eve departs, fans are left heartbroken for her but also fearful for Stacey's well-being as Theo further tightens his grip on her life. Many express their concern on social media, with one person writing, "Theo is getting into Stacey’s head again." Another fan questions Stacey's decision, stating, "Kicking Eve out isn't necessary. I don't know why Stacey is listening to Theo." A third fan adds, "I think Stacey needs to be supporting Eve instead of having a go at her."
