EastEnders fans are calling for Chelsea Fox (Zaraah Abrahams) to have more screen time after her dramatic confrontation with Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) in recent scenes.
In Tuesday night’s (March 19) dramatic episode, the truth about Stacey’s affair with Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) was finally exposed, much to the horror of their families.
Stacey and Jack have been sleeping together for a while, but recent scenes saw Stacey decide to put a stop to their affair, worried about the impact it was having on vulnerable Denise Fox (Diane Parish).
However, as Stacey and Jack shared a kiss goodbye, Martin Fowler (James Bye) walked in on them, and Stacey was forced to confess to the affair.
Later, after being accused of ruining the barbecue by Chelsea, Martin told her exactly what he had walked in on, and it was safe to say that Chelsea was not pleased.
She immediately confronted Stacey and Jack and a huge row broke out.
When Chelsea deduced that their affair had led to Denise’s recent psychotic episode, she slapped Stacey, before a fight broke out between Martin and Jack.
Fans have been very vocal online about how much they enjoyed the episode, with many praising Zaraah’s performance and citing Chelsea as their favourite character.
Zaraah first appeared in the role in 2020, when Chelsea returned to Albert Square after a ten year hiatus.
During that time, she has been involved in some huge storylines, including one that saw her start a relationship with serial killer Gray Atkins.
However, fans are desperate for her to get another storyline, with last night’s scenes proving that she is more than capable of providing the drama.
Actress Zaraah Abrahams was flooded with supportive messages following the scenes, and took to her Instagram story to thank everyone for their ‘kind words’.
‘So so glad you enjoyed it,’ she wrote alongside a clip from the episode, ‘Getting to work alongside this cast… Pinch myself all the time.’
Following the dramatic confrontation with Stacey, Chelsea took Denise back to hers after she finally finished things with Jack.Will we get to see more of Chelsea supporting Denise following this crushing revelation?
