Explosive Soap Drama
EastEnders fans are outraged and demanding action after a shocking twist in the storyline involving beloved character Stacey Slater.
Stacey's Turbulent Year
This year has been quite a rollercoaster for Stacey Slater. From being stalked by the creepy Theo, to becoming a grandmother, and the sudden departure of her best friend Eve, she's had her fair share of drama.
Support in Troubled Times
In recent weeks, Stacey has turned to Jack Branning for support, just as his marriage to Denise Fox was falling apart.
A Spectacularly Wrong Reconnection
In the latest episode, Jack and Denise's attempt to reconnect went horribly wrong. Jack mistakenly believed his wife was having another affair, leading him to express his lack of trust.
An Unexpected Encounter
Denise left in a huff, while Jack planned to drown his sorrows alone at home with a pizza. However, fate had other plans when Stacey bumped into him and apologized for her earlier anger.
A Shared Moment
What followed was a shared pizza and bottle of wine, as Stacey and Jack opened up about their pasts. The sexual tension between them grew, with Stacey even mentioning Jack's resemblance to his infamous brother Max.
A Passionate Kiss
As the evening progressed, Stacey and Jack reached for the wine bottle, exchanged a look, and then shared a passionate kiss in the hallway.
Fans Outraged
As the credits rolled, fans took to social media to express their shock and disappointment. Many were appalled that Stacey was now involved with yet another member of the Branning family, after her affair with Max and relationship with his son Bradley.
Outcry on Social Media
One fan tweeted, "Jack Branning and Stacey Slater? Yikes, that should be illegal!" while another pleaded, "Please don't let that storyline evolve past today." Others called for Jack's demise, so that he and Stacey couldn't become a couple.
Viewers Cringe
Some viewers couldn't contain their discomfort, with one commenting, "Cringing at this Stacey and Jack stuff…" Another criticized Jack, saying, "Denise doesn't deserve that weak man."
