I have a little problem with accepting that Martin would have done a life insurance policy for Stacey to give it all to Kat to buy the pub with.

I'm sure, in reality, that wouldn't have been his intention when taking out that insurance.

Regardless of how rubbish Stacey thinks she is with money, a nice family holiday and some cash in a Trust Fund for when the kids are older would have struck more true.

Regardless, it's EastEnders and we suspend belief!!

As an aside, the whole show feels a little messy at the moment.

Another teenage pregnancy seems tiresome

Wouldn’t it have made more sense for Kat to have gotten a decent sum from Phil in the divorce, or sold the cab office to Harvey and Kathy or something?

The logic behind Stacey’s decision is razor thin. It has been very plot lead rather than character lead.

This is Stacey-who had to sell herself online two years ago because she couldn’t afford food even when she had five other working adults in the house. You’d think she’d want to hold on to any windfall that comes her way. And surely Bex and Ruby might have something to say about it all.
