In tonight’s episode she began to realise the seriousness of the situation when Theo – going by the name of Edmund on the webcam app – sent her flowers to her home address.
At first Stacey kicked Theo out, rightly worried that he could be her stalker.
But when he overheard Eve asking Jack Branning for advice on stalkers in the cafe – he realised he could use it to get even closer to Stacey.
Pulling out his phone, he scheduled a message to send a short time later – before heading over to her house to put his plan into action.
But as she was too terrified to open the door, Theo turned up and convinced her to open it.
Claiming to have more homework for Lily, he got her to open the door just in time his scheduled message from Edmund to come through.
“I’m watching you,” it read.
Stacey read the message while holding the door in front of Theo, and after seeing it come through while Theo wasn’t using his phone, she made a decision.
“Could you just come in please?” she asked, letting him through the door and locking it behind him.
“I just really don’t want to be alone right now.”
Offering to put the kettle on, Theo could barely hide his joy at his sick plan working.
He told her: “It’s OK Stacey, you’re never alone.”
Viewers are completely creeped out by the scenes.
One wrote: “Stace, Martin only warned you about Theo a few weeks ago…”
A second said: “Poor Stacey, I think this stalker thing has got her stressed. It’s terrifying.”
Another added: “My jaw just dropped,” and a fourth echoed: “Creepy Theo is alone with Stacey, noooo.”
