EastEnders ' Martin Fowler might need to watch his back, as his attempts to reunite with ex Stacey Slater leave him at risk of upsetting her secret stalker of sorts, Theo.
Newcomer Theo was revealed to be her mystery persistent client on an adult content site recently. Stacey has no idea that Theo is the client who has been paying her for saucy content.
Stacey is aware that one client of hers has been constantly messaging her and asking for specific content, even encouraging her to show her face in her SecretCam pictures and clips.
Theo was introduced as an old teacher of Stacey's relative Freddie Slater, who tracked him down and confronted him after struggles in school - leading to Theo helping him to get a referral for a possible ADHD diagnosis.
Since then, Theo has been helping out the family from buying expensive gifts to offering free school tutoring. He's well and truly fitted himself in with the family and got them on side, leading to a possible romance with Stacey.
Of course none of them know he is obsessed with Stacey, and that his plan to help the family is linked to this. Someone who is suspicious of his behaviour is Martin.
Next week, Stacey takes Theo as her plus one to Kathy and Rocky's wedding, after Eve asked him to go with her pal. Stacey then drunkenly asked Martin to go with her instead.
Feeling too bad to reject Theo, unaware of the truth, spoilers reveal she does end up going with him and Martin. This creates awkwardness, as Theo's hopes for alone time and Martin's worries about the newcomer threaten to collide.
Theo is keen to make a move on Stacey and wind up Martin at the same time. He tries to wind Martin up by kissing her hand, leaving Stacey uncomfortable.
Stacey soon makes a decision about her future and whether Martin is part of it - but will she choose Theo, or will Theo be left alone? If she does reject him, will this lead to the character taking revenge?
Later, Eve tries to convince Stacey that she should give things another go with Martin, but she’s not sure she can take the risk after so much history between them.
Soon, Stacey braces herself to tell Martin she’s still doing cam work for a client after claiming to her family that she had stopped. Martin worries about who Stacey is talking to and if she’s in danger - unaware he is correct. But could this lead to Theo being exposed?
