\t\t\"Stacey
\n\t\tStacey Slater has had a turbulent year (Picture: BBC\/Jack Barnes\/Kieron McCarron)<\/p>\n

Stacey Slater<\/a>\u2019s (Lacey Turner<\/a>) whole world fell apart when Martin Fowler<\/a> (James Bye<\/a>) died in February in EastEnders.<\/p>\n

The beloved characters became trapped in the Queen Vic shortly after it exploded. As they battled through the rubble, it looked as though they were both going to make it out alive, and reunite.<\/p>\n

It was very much a case of famous last words. Just as Martin and Stacey prepared to exit, a beam fell from the ceiling<\/a>, trapping Martin seconds later.<\/p>\n

Martin died as a result of crush syndrome. As the beam was lifted, toxins filled his body, ultimately resulting in his death.<\/p>\n

And for the record, we\u2019re still not over it.<\/p>\n

Stacey\u2019s been at a complete loss ever since she said goodbye to Martin<\/a>. As a result, Jean (Gillian Wright) has stepped up to help with parenting Lily (Lillia Turner), Arthur and Hope.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Lily who continues to cause trouble next week, as Jean struggles to discipline her. The teenager is not only attempting to come to terms with Martin\u2019s death, but is also spending time with Avani (Aaliyah James) and smoking weed.<\/a><\/p>\n

In the week, Sonia (Natalie Cassidy) goes in search of Stacey, but Jean and Harvey (Ross Boatman) admit that she really isn\u2019t coping.<\/p>\n

In a similar position to Stacey, Sonia heads to Number 31 and manages to have a chat with her. Eventually, they share a warm moment as they support each other in their time of need.<\/p>\n

\u2018Sonia is so kind with Stacey and she\u2019s not judgemental, she just listens and tries to offer some comfort and advice\u2019, Lacey said.<\/p>\n

\u2018I don\u2019t think she\u2019ll ever get over losing Martin, they were so close even when they weren\u2019t together. <\/p>\n

\u2018Stacey is going to have to learn to live with it because she\u2019s got kids that need her, but it won\u2019t be easy.\u2019<\/p>\n
