This mum and daughter are both a class act. Very good acting from both of them. This is exactly how biopolar disorder is. Stacey has always been amazing. She has alot of guts whatever story line she delivers it spot on. Jean is outstanding.
The best episode of Eastenders that I have ever seen . I watched the whole episode twice which I wouldn’t normally do with a soap. The fact that this storyline is still ongoing and now involves the three generations with Lily as well is testament to how much Eastenders have invested in it.
I have depression so I understand Stacey’s situation I’ve recently had a mental breakdown and under the care of my GP and the crisis team I’m feeling really low right now Xx😢
Stacey’s mum has it quite extreme in her acute phases. Her quirks and odd mannerisms have been theatrically-exaggerated over the past 11 or 12 years beyond recognition but at the primordial core level it’s just an expression of her quirky E.N.F.P. personality and upbringing than anything else. Not everything to do with Jean’s character is because of her bipolar per se. She does have an actual baseline temperament (that just happens to be neurotic). So don’t be too weirded-out unless your mum’s hoarding China dolls, entertaining grandiose delusions, laying in a depressive pit for months on end and boarding up windows with torched cardboard.
@@Anonymous_Anon882 my mum i think had bipolar and EUPD which I've got which I've heard is similar to bipolar but I'm not sure, drugs, drink, falling out with friends and family then not then falling out with them again, crime, lying, relationships falling apart, horrific mood swings, manic shit like hoovering and knocking down walls at 3am although that could have been to do with drugs but idk, making me and my sister sleep in the kitchen because a mouse got in the house, spending all her money on getting stuff for a cat when we didnt get a cat so we'd had no money for the week, depression, dysfunction etc honestly when Stacey said about Jean spending her money on stuff like China dolls it reminded me of my mum spending money on crap we didn't even need like net curtains and Jean was living in her nightgown and lashing out at Stacey it sort of hit home she was never diagnosed but yeah with Jean it's very painfully familiar the thing nobody ever talks about though is the knock on effect it has with the kids of parents like that me and my sister have a lot of issues lol it's weirdly fascinating though
