EastEnders fans were left reeling after Albert Square favourite Stacey collapsed in Friday night's episode.
The pregnant Stacey, played by Lacey Turner, lost her temper when she discovered that Carmel (Bonnie Langford) reported her to social services after seeing bruises on the arms of Stacey's son - Carmel's grandson - Arthur and getting the wrong idea.
After a tense encounter with the social worker, Stacey learned that Carmel's intervention had prompted the visit - and fireworks ensued.
As Stacey's rage exploded, she fell on the floor and started shaking.
That was Friday's #EastEnders.

#Eastenders is like Casualty these days. It’s like who’s going to end up needing the hospital next.
