But there’s lingering chemistry between her and Martin Fowler
Could the pair give things another go?
Theo Hawthorne (portrayed by William Ellis) has been bending over backwards to make a good impression on Stacey (Lacey Turner).
But their growing friendship has led her to consider him as her plus one for Kathy Beale and Rocky Cotton’s wedding.
In scenes airing next week on BBC One, Lily Slater (Lillia Turner) is horrified that Theo is her mum’s wedding date.
To make matters worse for her, Stacey doesn’t remember leaving a drunken voicemail asking her former husband Martin Fowler (James Bye) to be her plus one instead.
It’s awkward when Martin shows up just after Theo and suggests she ditches him, leaving her with a tough decision to make.
At the registry office, Martin and Stacey share a moment – but could they give things another go?
In later scenes, Stacey feels awkward as Theo tries to wind Martin up by kissing her hand.
She’s conflicted about what to do about Martin, but her mother Jean (Gillian Wright) tells her to stop getting in the way of her own happiness.
Stacey makes a decision about her future and whether Martin is part of it – how will Theo react?
While the pair appear united as they join the Brannings for another family conference, Eve Unwin (Heather Peace) tries to convince her best friend that she should give Martin another shot.
But Stacey isn’t sure whether she should be taking the risk after their troubled past and her connection with Theo.
Later on, Stacey decides to be honest with Martin and tells him she’s still doing cam work for a client.
The market trader worries about who Stacey is talking to and if she’s in danger.
Sadly, the conversation ends in a row as she asserts she’ll do what she wants.
While Stacey is completely unaware of it, viewers of the London-based drama were stunned when Theo was revealed to be her Secret Cam client.
The teacher continues to send money to a cash-strapped Stacey in exchange for her time online, all while pretending his intentions with her and her family are pure.
With his obsession for her growing, could Theo lash out against Stacey if he found out she was getting closer to Martin once again?
Will Martin, who has been suspicious of Theo, figure out what the teacher is really up to and expose him?
Martin already tried to figure out one of Theo’s secrets as he wanted to find out why he was no longer working in his previous school.
When confronted by Martin in the Slater kitchen, Theo revealed he had embarked on a romantic relationship with a fellow teacher and things turned sour between them after their breakup – which led him to quit his job.
Could there be something more sinister to his past?
EastEnders airs from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
