Our Stace is far more legendary imo and should be front and centre!

Kat. She's one of the last soap characters who are recognisable even to non soap viewers and part of probably the soaps most famous moment.

Stacey, along with Ronnie, is probably the shows last iconic characters that made an impact but I wouldn't say they were as big as the legends outside of soap viewers.

The biggest problem is Kat has got nowhere near her original stint since she returned in 2010 because her story was essentially finished.

Although if her characterisation is more like January 2016 when Charlie died then they could still save her.

Stacey's the same though 2014+ hasn't been a patch on her original stint.

Remember when she forged benefit claims in Jean's name and got her arrested?

Jean didn’t help by not making up her mind about whether she wanted to be bipolar or mentally disabled at the time though. That was the state of the writing for Jean under Kirkwood.

Ugh don't. That bullying storyline with Michael Moon was bloody awful. And everyone just let it happen.

[Redway]

I bloody hated Jean after Stacey left.

Every time she pops up now she’s manic and troublesome. Either join the dots with the darker character she was in the mid-noughties or let her piss off for good.

Maybe her sausage surprise is the reason she’s returning full-time. It killed off poor Ollie. Pity she wasn’t working in the pub kitchen when Aidan was around.

I wouldn't call her troublesome. The last 4 years she's popped up whilst being happy with Ollie.

I just see it as ditzy Jean is her as a person regardless and when she gets overexcitable that is the manic high side of her condition and then obviously the moments in the bath etc are her manic depressive side. Also, I imagine given the heavy smoking/drinking she was prone to when we first met her, she probably took all manner of other drugs she wasn't supposed to so she's essentially a little cabbaged too.

I hope the Jean/Shirley relationship is rekindled

I know she smoked loads up until 2010-ish and she was already ditzy by then. The smoking’s the last aspect of rough Jean they cling onto for a while in her regular stint.

And is it just me but didn’t she look better with that hairstyle she rocked in the late noughties (the non-curls)?

[Marsh.]

I think she has the non-curls back judging by that promo picture above.

It was good. An all to brief attempt at giving her a proper story arc after the ridiculous hatchet job of her and Kush.

[reece(:]

Her wiki is a mess

Since then, Stacey's storylines include her friendship with Shabnam Masood (Rakhee Thakrar), a relationship with Martin Fowler (James Bye), a fling with Shabnam's fiancé Kush Kazemi (Davood Ghadami), possessing a mystery key, being electrocuted, giving birth to a son, Arthur, developing a rare mental illness known as postpartum psychosis, discovering her deceased father had another family, being accused of hurting her son by Carmel Kazemi (Bonnie Langford), which leads to the premature birth of her daughter Hope Fowler and cheating on Martin with Max, which leads to a strained relationship between the couple.

[Marsh.]

"Possessing a mysterious key"

[Wizard.]

The way it's worded seems like the mystery key caused an electric shock which caused her to give birth

[Smithy]

This show has literally in the gutter, what is *actually* happening?

[Wizard.]

Screamed at 2007 Ronnie and Rox featuring on the R&R leaflet!

[Marsh.]

Mel asking which one Ronnie was, I half expected her to dress up as her to seduce Jack.

Ian thinking he's gonna marry Mel. If this is a method to exposing Ian really cracking mentally after everything that's happened to him the last 4 years then I'm here for it. Not realistic him being genuinely so chirpy.

[Marsh.]

Joyce has so killed Ted for carrying on with that tart Bernadette.

[reece(:]

Tonight's ep was dire

Why is Joyce still there
Keegan's dad story is uninteresting
Ian and Masood feud is dull
Mick back to normal after a week is a mess
Patrick getting married?

Bring on the Slaters!

[Rob!]

Bring back the Cokers!

[Marsh.]

Where did this frigging romance of Patrick's come from?

Is he gonna have his winnings scammed from him by a Thai bride?

[Marsh.]

Were we meant to be shook by that SHOCKING revelation?

Mick's been in two episodes and we know bugger all about all the other dads so why exactly would we be shocked by this turn of events we weren't privy to?

[Redway]

I like Mitch.
