EastEnders fans are predicting a romance between Stacey Slater and Ravi Gulati.
Earlier this month, both characters were left heartbroken. On the soap’s 40th anniversary, Stacey’s ex Martin Folwer was killed in the aftermath of a terrible explosion in The Queen Vic, dying after being trapped under a metal beam.
Ravi meanwhile, was left gutted when Denise Fox ended up choosing Jack Branning after an interactive fan vote.
Now, a new fan theory suggests that Stacey and Ravi could be set to strike up a romance…
Martin dies in EastEnders 40th anniversary
During EastEnders‘ 40th anniversary live episode, Martin found himself trapped under a large piece of metal after the Vic fire.
Stacey stayed by his side as the emergency services did their best to tend to Martin and free him. Martin and Stacey then declared their love for each other, planning their future life together. They even talked about getting married again.
However, tragedy struck when Martin suffered from crush syndrome and had a heart attack. He died at the end of the episode.
EastEnders: Denise chooses Jack
In the same episode, Linda encouraged Denise to live her life and go after what she really wants.
Denise then acted on this and knocked on Jack’s door as Ravi watched on, revealing that she wanted to make things work with him.
Stacey and Ravi to strike up romance?
In the days that have followed the tragic Queen Vic explosion and live episode, Stacey has been putting on a brave face, trying to organise Martin’s funeral.
Daughter Lily has also been struggling with her grief – chiefly taking out her pain on Ruby, her dad’s girlfriend.
But fans are now hoping that Ravi will step in and become Stacey’s new love interest.
