Theo Hawthorne (William Ellis)<\/a> left Stacey trapped in her own home when he revealed himself as her stalker \u2013 and as her daughter Lily (Lillia Turner) went into labour, Stace desperately tried to get rid of Theo.<\/p>\n As Stace shouted for Theo to get out, Theo spat insults as he listed her relationship history and claimed he was \u201cthe best thing that\u2019s ever happened\u201d to Stacey.<\/p>\n Thankfully, while Jean (Gillian Wright) looked after Lily in the living room, Martin Fowler (James Bye) and Eve Unwin (Heather Peace) arrived, and Martin threw Theo out of the house.<\/p>\n Intent on focusing on Lily, Stacey powered through her trauma to head back to Lily\u2019s side in stunning scenes from star Turner.<\/p>\n With the ambulance still minutes away, it was up to Stacey to deliver Lily\u2019s baby, while offering the youngster words of encouragement.<\/p>\n As the little girl arrived, everyone was in tears, and Stacey wept tears of joy as she declared: \u201cLily, I can\u2019t believe you made a baby \u2013 you can\u2019t even make toast!\u201d<\/p> \u00a0<\/p>\n Mother and baby were taken to hospital, where Lily was in shock after her labour. She seemed to be more uncertain than ever about her new role as a mum, while the baby\u2019s father, Ricky Mitchell Jr (Frankie Day), met his daughter.<\/p>\n Naming the infant Charli Branning Slater (after singer Charli XCX, rather than the late Charlie Slater), Ricky told dad Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) that he was changing his surname to Branning too.<\/p>\n But the happiness of both families was put on hold when Eve updated police detective Jack on Theo, and Jack insisted that Stacey must report her stalker. Stacey agreed, but confided in Martin that, for now, Lily was her priority.
