EastEnders 'work out' Theo's 'creepy' identity as fans worry for Stacey Slater
EastEnders fans have been suspicious of Theo Hawthorne ever since he first turned up in Walford, but their concerns will likely grow as BBC spoilers suggest the "creepy" character gets closer to Stacey Slater.

Official EastEnders spoilers reveal there could be a romantic twist on the cards for Theo Hawthorne (played by William Ellis) and Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner).

After coming to the aid of the Slaters once again, Theo will end up getting closer to Stacey.

When Eve Unwin (Heather Peace) asks Theo to be Stacey’s plus one at Kathy Beale’s (Gillian Taylforth) wedding thinking she had a great time on the date, Stacey's left horrified.
She later attempts to un-invite Theo after confessing she didn't enjoy the date, but awkwardly it seems he was thrilled with how things went.
With Theo now thinking he has a chance with Stacey romantically, are fans right to be concerned?
Fans have continued to question Theo's motives and all seem to agree there's something not quite right about him.

Twitter user @LauraLouMay83 asked: "What’s the deal with the creepy teacher, Theo? #Eastenders."
@mlawelshgirl penned: "God creepy Theo #EastEnders," while @DavidMackayy added: "Theo becoming a supply teacher at Lily’s school is beyond creepy #eastenders."
@LouReid84 predicted: "OK I may be mad but is Theo Stacey’s customer? #Eastenders."
@paigeskirby echoed this, sharing: "Theo has got to be the one on Stacey’s only fans #eastenders."
In an attempt to make some extra cash for her family, Stacey signed up to a Secret Cam site months ago and has since acquired an adoring anonymous fan.
Viewers, who continue to brand the character "creepy," believe Theo could be Stacey's secret admirer, and his eagerness to date her could back this theory up.
Theo has become a semi-regular character ever since Freddie Slater (Bobby Brazier) tracked him down to confront him for humiliating him while he was a student in his class.
Things became a bit more strange when Theo started buying Lily Slater (Lilia Turner) expensive things, urging her to hide the truth from Stacey after she disapproved.
Could fan predictions about Theo being Stacey's admirer be proved right?
EastEnders continues on Tuesday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
