STACEY Fowler’s life is slowly getting back to normal following her release from prison.
But nobody’s day-to-day is ever without a hitch in EastEnders as the market trader unwillingly gives Kheerat Panesar food poisoning.
After being accused of deliberately pushing Ruby Allen (Louisa Lytton) down the stairs, and subsequently being released from behind bars, Stacey (Lacey Turner) does all she can to stay away from trouble.
Stacey became Walford’s market inspector after her former husband Martin turned the position down (although her wife Eve, played by Heather Peace also tried to help by altering her CV).
But when her new job left her unhappy, and after finding out that she only got the position when Martin declined it, Stacey decided to set up her own business.
In an upcoming episode of the BBC One soap, she opens her own food van and sets up her brand new venture with the support of Jean (Gillian Wright) and Eve.

An excited line of customers are waiting for Stacey’s big opening, including Kheerat, portrayed by Jaz Deol.
The chemistry between them quickly becomes palpable: when Jean serves him his food, Stacey and Kheerat share a longing look.
The pair can’t keep their hands away from each other and were first intimate in the businessman’s office in October, 2020.
Upon her return to Albert Square after her stay in prison, the market trader couldn’t help but flirt with Kheerat, despite being married to Eve.
EastEnders fans are now convinced they could rekindle their connection.
But things turn sour as, soon after eating at Stacey’s new business, Kheerat realises he has food poisoning and it can only come from Stacey’s food van.
All set on stirring the pot and causing trouble after seeing her son unwell, Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) tells Stacey’s customers about Kheerat’s food poisoning.
Could this stop the former flames from reconnecting?
Will Kheerat hold a grudge against Stacey?
Will Kheerat really contract food poisoning after eating at Stacey’s food van?
How will Stacey’s new business venture turn out following Suki’s comment?
EastEnders airs on Mondays and Fridays at 8pm and Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:30pm.
