EastEnders: Will Stacey say ‘I do’?

Week beginning Monday 29th October, BBC One

Stacey’s starting to panic about her missing mobile and Max isn’t impressed either what with all the incriminating evidence on it. Luckily for Stacey, her mum still has hold of it, but it soon ends up in Sean’s grasp and he isn’t too shy to riffle through her saucy texts from Jerry. Max tries one last time to rekindle his affair with Stacey, but as she tells him that it’s over and she’s marrying his son, Sean hears everything.

As the wedding day arrives, the Branning and Slater households are buzzing and Sean is holding his cards close to his heart. Stacey’s confused by Sean’s mood and he makes several barbed comments as she heads off to have her hair and makeup done by Tanya. Sean then hunts down Max and tells him that he knows everything before dragging him into the square.

Over the road, Stacey’s in her dress when she realises that she’s left her dad’s wedding ring at home. She heads over to get it and finds Sean with Max. She tells Sean that she came on to Max, but he’s convinced that Max has taken advantage of his little sister. With steam coming out of Sean’s ears, Stacey asks Max to leave so that she can talk to her brother alone. The best man/worst dad heads back over to Bradley’s and Stacey convinces herself, if not Sean, that she’s doing the right thing and heads off to the church.

Sean is desperate to help Stacey come to her senses so he turns up at the church. He corners Tanya outside the church and asks her whether he would have stood a chance if they had met earlier and she tells him that she might have considered it. Stacey tells Sean to go home before walking down the aisle, but will she be able to say I do?
