EastEnders viewers in tears as Stacey Fowler tells brother Sean he is a cursed disaster – as he secretly contemplates suicide

EASTENDERS fans were left in tears tonight as Stacey Fowler told her brother Sean he’s a cursed disaster – as he secretly contemplates suicide.

Soap bosses have worked closely with Samaritans on the storyline as Sean returned to Albert Square this week.

The character – played by Robert Kazinsky – soon reveals signs to viewers that he is suffering from severe depression and is planning on taking his own life.

But after kidnapping Amy Branning – who he originally believed she was his daughter – he scrapped with Jack at Roxy Mitchell’s graveside after finding out she had died two years ago.

However, Stacey is unaware of her brother’s torment, and unleashed her wrath on him.

She said: “Why can’t you act like a normal person? Call before you turn up? come and meet my kids?

“You don’t get to get on your high horse with me Sean.”

Stacey then accused her brother of just being after their mum Jean’s money.

When he said that wasn’t the case, Stacey said it had been so long since she had seen or heard from him, she didn’t tell him about Jean’s cancer.

She explained: “You spent years making her life a misery, torturing her, breaking her heart and now you want to be kept in the loop in a family group chat?

“Sean, I love you but you are a shambles, everywhere you go you cause trouble, everywhere you go you hurt people.

“I don’t think you’re going to change that.”

Sean replied sarcastically: “Thanks for the feedback, not really a surprise but it’s a treat to hear it from family.”

Continuing her harsh critique, Stacey said: “She loves you so much, when you disappear – which you definitely, definitely will, it’ll kill her, and that ain’t an exaggeration. It will kill her.

“Mum’s biggest fear is that you won’t come back, mine is that you will.”

The siblings then shared a hug, with Sean realising he needed to make a swift exit from the hospital where Jean was having chemo.

But as he tried to make his excuses, his mother shouted at him not to move a muscle, and after 10 years, she wanted to know where he had been.

Viewers were very emotional at the scenes, with one writing on Twitter: “Oh my god these scenes with Sean and Jean and Stacey are shaping up to be some of the best I’ve seen on #EastEnders ever.”

Another added: “Oh dear God #eastenders please say you haven’t brought @RobertKazinsky back just to kill him off… I honestly don’t think I could cope!”
