EastEnders viewers were left fearing for Stacey Fowler as she was admitted to intensive care after having her baby.

The expectant mother collapsed and had a fit last week and in Monday night’s instalment of the BBC soap she was rushed to hospital for an emergency C-section.

Terrified Martin Fowler was told that Stacey is in intensive care after losing a lot of blood – and that there were also complications with their baby girl.

Viewers were left worried that Stacey and the baby might not pull through.

One fan posted on Twitter: “@bbceastenders Nooooooooooooooooooo you can’t kill off Stacey @LaceyTurner!#Eastenders.”

“No stop I am CRYING for Stacey what if she doesn’t survive or the baby,” said another.

Viewers also praised Turner’s acting skills.

“Hate that Stacey can never catch a break but Lacey Turner is such a phenomenal actress!” tweeted one impressed fan, while another said the actress deserved awards for her performance.

Another tweeted: “Oh wow if Stacey dies I’ll be so upset. she’s always been my fav & such an amazing actress.”
