Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) has been struggling to make ends meet in EastEnders, thanks to the cost of living crisis.
In order to earn some extra cash to help put food on the table, Stacey turned to cam work, where she sold pictures of herself to online buyers.
When the bailiffs came knocking in recent scenes, Stacey realised that she still had a long way to go before her debts were paid off, and she wasn’t living hand to mouth.
However, just as things were looking desperate, Stacey received an offer on her Secret Cam app that left her with a choice to make.
One of her online buyers was offering £50 for a video, but they were asking for Stacey to show her face, meaning that she would no longer be posting anonymously.
Stacey dwelled on the offer as she headed to the bap van the following morning, stopping at Whitney Dean’s (Shona McGarty) stall to admire a corset on the way.
When Whitney noticed her looking, she assumed that Stacey had a hot date, and offered her the corset as a gift.
Stacey gratefully took it, though she had other reasons for wanting it.
When Eve Unwin (Heather Peace) arrived for her shift at the van, Stacey took off to ‘the bank’, accidentally picking up a bag of groceries instead of her corset.
Noticing her mistake, Eve headed home to drop the bag off, only to run straight into Stacey.
Stacey explained that she’d come home for a nap instead of going to the bank, which left Eve wondering why she had a full face of make up on.
With Eve convinced that she was secretly meeting a man, Stacey was backed into a corner and finally admitted what she had been up to.
As she explained her cam work, Eve assured her that it was nothing to be ashamed of.
With Eve on her side, Stacey opened up about her dilemma over showing her face for extra cash.
Eve pointed out that if Stacey doesn’t want to do it, then she can find some extra work elsewhere, though Stacey pointed out that that wouldn’t be enough to get them out of their current situation.
With Stacey certain that they won’t survive without the extra cash, will she choose to show her face on camera?
