Martin Fowler (James Bye) has his concerns ignored by Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) in upcoming EastEnders episodes.

The market stall owner has been growing suspicious of Theo in recent weeks, who used to be Freddie’s (Bobby Brazier) schoolteacher and is also helping Lily (Lillia Turner) with homeschooling before she gives birth.

Martin has sensed something isn’t quite right about Theo for a while. He did some digging and discovered why he left his previous school, but whenever he’s tried to talk to Stacey about it, she hasn’t given him the time of day.

It appears Theo has a romantic interest in Stacey, as Jean (Gillian Wright) plays matchmaker, which prompts her daughter to arrange a date with him.

Initially, she has misgivings over organising it, but when Martin disapproves, she doubles down on the plan.

In Walford East, as the date gets underway, it’s clear things are awkward, and Stacey realises there isn’t actually a connection.

As the week continues, Eve (Heather Peace) asks Theo to be Stacey’s plus one at Kathy’s (Gillian Taylforth) wedding, under the impression her mate had a great time on the date.

Stacey then explains there wasn’t actually a spark between her and Theo, and the dream she had was about Martin!

As Eve wonders if there’s still a future for her and Martin, Stacey is left thoughtful.

With the week drawing to a close, Eve realises that Stacey hasn’t uninvited Theo to the wedding because she’s far too busy thinking about Martin.
