EastEnders’ Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) is hopeful that a stalking prevention order will bring to an end her torment at the hands of vile Theo Hawthorne (William Ellis), who has been making her life a living hell.
Theo, as viewers know, was Stacey’s single client on Secret Cam, becoming obsessed with her and deluding himself into believing that they were meant to be in a relationship.
Upon making the discovery that Theo is her stalker, Stacey has been left in fear of her life, especially given that the deranged teacher has now moved in next door, leaving her afraid to leave her own home.
Upcoming scenes, however, will see her turn up to court for the hearing of her Stalking Prevention Order against Theo, which she hopes the judge will grant.
‘I think Stacey’s desperate to get this whole Theo situation over and done with,’ Lacey Turner said of the storyline. ‘It’s been a nightmare for her to have him next door, and she’s sick of living in fear.
‘Nothing she says to Theo works because he’s completely delusional, so she’s hoping the court can make him finally leave her alone.’

The courtroom scenes prove to be powerful ones, with DS Garrett laying out Stacey’s case against Theo, which Lacey tells us leaves Stacey believing that there’s ‘no way’ the stalker will be able to get out of this.
‘He’s done so many things, and when she hears them described in court, it makes Stacey’s skin crawl,’ said the soap star. ‘She can’t imagine that the court could hear that and not grant her Stalking Protection Order.
Unfortunately, there’s more heartbreak to come, with Theo’s solicitor, Mr Rath, dragging Stacey’s name through the mud in a bid to defend his client.
‘It’s so hard because everything Theo does to twist the truth feels like another blow to Stacey,’ said Lacey. ‘She knows that Theo is a stalker and that he did all these things she’s accused him of, so to hear it twisted like this is unbearable.’
Unable to listen to such horrible things, Stacey decides to take a stand as she starts to speak for herself.
‘I think it’s a chance for her to have her voice heard, even if it’s unwise to go against the advice she’s been given,’ concluded Lacey.
‘Stacey hopes that if the judge hears what she’s got to say, he might understand how terrifying this has been for her and see through Theo’s nice guy façade. Stacey is a fighter, so I’m not surprised that she can’t keep quiet in the face of so many lies.’
