EastEnders - Stacey Branning will be urged to seek help as her loved ones start to become increasingly fearful for her safety.

Martin Fowler is keen to manage the situation alone, he will start to realise that he is out of his depth when the illness shows no sign of improving.

With the pressure growing, Martin decides to turn to his ex-wife Sonia for advice, but he doesn't get the response he was hoping for when Sonia urges him to seek immediate help after spotting a dishevelled Stacey on the Square.

As Stacey's psychosis continues to intensify, she will be rocked when Kyle arrives looking for her again and becomes even more fearful for Arthur's safety. However, when Martin firmly tells Kyle to leave and subsequently lies to Stacey about who was at the door, she begins to feel betrayed by him too and panics.

Stacey's erratic behaviour will later start to become more apparent to her family when she becomes overwhelmed as she prepares to attend Charlie's funeral,  prompting Kat to intervene.

Despite Kat's attempts to help, it is ultimately Stacey's mum Jean who steps in as she demands to know why Martin hasn't got her daughter help sooner.

When Stacey's problems become common knowledge after she publicly declares that Kyle is the devil, she will attempt to seek refuge with her friends Kush and Shabnam, who are also alarmed by just how erratic her behaviour has become.



After a panic-stricken Jean begs Martin to call a doctor, a lucid moment sees Stacey question whether she is ill. Martin then lies to Stacey that the hospital is the only place she can go with Arthur that's safe, in a desperate bid to get her there.

Although a fearful Jean encourages Martin to be honest with Stacey about the possibility of not being able to keep Arthur with her, she soon realises getting her to the hospital is more important and goes along with it as well.

As Jean worries for Stacey, Martin takes her and Arthur to hospital, but can he convince Stacey to go ahead with this?
