Stacey Fowler’s shock pregnancy announcement brings joy to EastEnders – while stepdaughter Bex is tricked into eating cat poo as cruel bullies continue to attack her
There were ups and downs in Albert Square on Thursday night
STACEY Fowler offered a moment of joy on EastEnders on Thursday with a shock revelation that she was expecting.
The Albert Square resident had viewers of the BBC One soap jumping for joy when she revealed to sister-in-law Michelle that she was pregnant.
Stace dropped her pleasant surprise while she was gardening with her sister-in-law Michelle – offering her the news as something of an olive branch.
Michelle had caused her brother (Stacey’s husband) Martin strife when it was revealed she had been dating a teenage former pupil.

And Stacey explained Martin would eventually trust Michelle again as they planted daffodils together.
“He will [trust you again].... 'cause I do,” Stacey began.
“Look, I, um, I haven't said anything to Martin yet, and - sister-in-law or not - if you tell him before I get a chance then that'll be the end of you,” she continued before dropping her bombshell.
“I'm pregnant,” she said, to Michelle’s delight, then adding: “I haven't told anyone yet, it's early days. I haven't even told me mum, only you!”
The news was as much of a surprise to Michelle as it was to viewers who flooded Twitter with excited comments - with a mix of excitement and concern (well, things rarely run smoothly in soap land).
Elsewhere, Bex Fowler – Michelle’s stepdaughter – was tricked into eating cat faeces during a cruel trick by bullies Madison and Alexandra.
The girls have been tormenting the aspiring singer and high school student for weeks and things turned extra deceptive on Thursday.
Madison appeared to apologise to Bex for destroying her guitar earlier in the week and offered her a chocolate truffle as a peace offering.
However Bex then discovered it was cat poo after she bit into it – with Alexandra revealing it was a chocolate covered stool she had fished from her cat litter earlier.
The uncomfortable scene had viewers in despair as the poor school girl was pushed to her limit by the stunt.
Taking to Twitter in droves, many commented on the unsettling scenes – with many hoping the bullies would be discovered and stopped soon.
