Stacey’s Pain And A Fresh Start
Stacey Slater has been through too much in Walford. After she lost Martin, she was completely shattered. And to date, she has not been able to recover. Whenever she passes Martin’s stall in the market, it drags her back to the pain. It is something that would never heal for her. And it is making it difficult for her to continue living in Walford.
Lacey Turner had said that moving on is the only way forward for Stacey. She knew Brazil would be far away, but would provide the freedom she had always wanted. Sean has opened a door for Stacey now, and here is the moment for her to seize her chance. However, fans know one thing: nothing is going to be so easy. Even the character’s exit won’t be smooth. Even if someone is trying to run away from the Square, they end up pulled back where the drama is. So even now, Stacey’s farewell would not be a simple one.
Later, Stacey is shocked to see Max Branning standing right in front of her. She was left stunned to see him all of a sudden. We all know their messy equation in the past. Lacey said that Max has a hold over Stacey that never seems to fade. Stacey knows that he is only a big harm to her, yet her heart still feels something whenever she sees him.
However, she makes her final decision and even informs Max about it. She tells him that she wants nothing more from him. And that she is leaving for Brazil. But before she could walk away, something shocking happened.
