Tonight’s episode of EastEnders (Thursday, May 22) saw Lily Slater make the decision to exit Walford as mum Stacey’s behaviour continued to worsen – but is she leaving for good? This came as grief-stricken Stacey made a last-ditch attempt attempt to convince her family she was alright – putting on a meal to dissuade Kat from her worries that all was not well in the Slater household.
However, this picture of frozen dinner serenity wasn’t to last, as fresh calamity soon sent Stacey into a spiral. In taking a batch of washing to the laundrette, he’d accidentally taken Stacey’s phone – which contained all of the pictures, videos and messages between her and Martin.

Lily left Walford as Stacey crumbled
Fearing that it was about to be destroyed in a wash, she stormed over to the laundrette in a panic. Meanwhile, back at home, Alife was shocked to learn from Arthur that Stacey has been ‘speaking’ to Martin via his phone. Fearing that Stacey was in the clutches of another bipolar episode, the family rushed to her side.
Stacey was able to explain herself, but Lily couldn’t take this latest bombshell. Grabbing the phone, she began smashing it to bits, leaving the already tense relationship between mother and daughter worse than ever.
Back home, Lily explained that she’d called her dad and he’d sent a taxi over to collect her. The pair were able to reconcile somewhat, but the decision remained made – Lily and baby Charli are off, to give Stacey some space.
