Next week in EastEnders, the bap van owner faces him during a tense confrontation. How will it pan out for her?
Stacey Slater is trying to pay off her debts next week in EastEnders
But she soon has no other choice than to ask for help
Will Phil and Kat help her out of a tough spot?
With an increase in rent at the beginning of the year and a baby on the way, Stacey Slater (played by Lacey Turner) is mortified she may not be able to provide for her family.
The matriarch is all over the place but promises her pregnant daughter Lily that she’ll be by her side ahead of her twenty week scan in upcoming scenes airing on BBC One.
Sadly, Stacey fails to keep her promise and Lily arrives at the hospital alone as she tries to counsel Ricky Branning about his fears about fatherhood.
Later on, Lily piles the pressure on Stacey when she announces she wants to do a gender reveal party.
Stacey fields calls from Shiv, whom she knows she’ll soon have to face to pay off her debt.
Shiv brings confrontation to her doorstep in later scenes and Stacey is horrified to find him in the Slater kitchen.
He soon suggests how she can repay her debts but the conversation is cut short when Eve Unwin (Heather Peace) bursts in and attacks the loan shark.
Thrown out, Shiv has no more time for mercy and he retaliates by telling Stacey she has until the following day to pay her full debts.
Time is ticking for Stacey while Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) throws all her attention into baking the perfect cake for the gender reveal party with Lily.
Stacey panics, trying to figure out how she’ll be paying Shiv back and comes to the realisation that only Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) and Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) can help her.
She goes to them and asks for their help but will they really get her out of her situation?
The Slaters and the Brannings gather to find out if Lily is having a boy or a girl but Stacey misses out on everything as she slips out to meet Shiv in the Arches.
Will she be able to get rid of him once and for all?
How will the confrontation end?
Elsewhere in the Square, Sam Mitchell (Kim Medcalf) gets a huge offer and it could help solve a lot of Stacey’s problems.
EastEnders airs from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
Will Stacey be able to get rid of Shiv?
Will she find a solution to her money worries?
