Fans of EastEnders shocked by revelation of a previously overlooked marriage between two well-liked characters.

It's hard to believe, but Stacey and Eve are still married! The proposal that Eve Unwin made to Suki Panesar on EastEnders caused quite a stir among fans, and not just because of its dramatic nature. Eve got down on one knee in the middle of the Queen Vic and professed her love for Suki, even going as far as to translate some of her speech into Punjabi before asking for her hand in marriage. This heartfelt moment wasn't the only thing that had viewers talking though, as many noticed Stacey Slater in the scene and had a sudden realization.

For those who may not know, Stacey and Eve are actually married. They tied the knot off-screen in 2021 and fans were quick to point this out on social media. Some were surprised that Eve would propose while still being legally married to another woman, while others questioned why they hadn't gotten their marriage annulled yet. The situation raised a lot of questions about how this would affect Suki and Eve's potential engagement.

But here's the thing, Stacey and Eve's marriage was all a part of a plan. Eve needed to prove that she had a place to live in order to be granted probation, so the two got married as a cover-up. Although they have no romantic feelings for each other, they are incredibly close friends and consider each other to be platonic soulmates. They have been there for each other through thick and thin, supporting one another through some scary situations, including helping Stacey cover up Freddie Slater's attack on Theo Hawthorne. Even when Eve's love life hasn't gone as planned, Stacey has been there to offer her a shoulder to cry on and to defend her against anyone who may try to hurt her.

As Eve eagerly wants to marry Suki, the fact that she is still legally married to Stacey may cause some complications, especially considering the terms of her probation. Will this affect her relationship with Suki and their potential engagement? Only time will tell.
