Bernie Taylor (Clair Norris) has revealed her secret crush in EastEnders, and it wasn\u2019t who we were expecting.<\/p>\n
Bernie\u2019s day clearly started out badly when she received a hurtful message from Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) over social media.<\/p>\n
She made it clear how upset she was by deliberately bumping into her at the caf\u00e9, before addressing the comments outright.<\/p>\n
Stacey tried to tell her that the messages weren\u2019t from her at all, but from a fake account made by sinister stalker Theo Hawthorne (William Ellis), but Bernie wasn\u2019t having any of it.<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t until later, when Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) came into the caf\u00e9 asking for a call to arms against Stacey\u2019s stalker that Bernie realised she was telling the truth.<\/p>\n

Feeling bad about how she had acted earlier, Bernie headed to Stacey\u2019s meeting during a break from work in order to find out how best to help.<\/p>\n
After returning to work, it became clear that Bernie had taken quite a shine to Stacey, and the strength she\u2019d shown when addressing her neighbours.<\/p>\n
Back in the caf\u00e9, Bernie headed back to work, but was quick to mention her newly developed crush on Stacey to Whitney and Zack (Shona McGarty and James Farrar).<\/p>\n
Though at first she tried to deny that she had a crush on Stacey, she soon accepted it, but insisted that, with everything she was going through, she didn\u2019t need any more unwanted attention.<\/p>\n
We suppose we should have seen this coming, given how eager Bernie had been to learn Stacey\u2019s Secret Cam username when her cam work was first exposed, but alas, we didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
With Bernie\u2019s thoughts on Stacey now out in the open, with Bernie having branded her \u2018amazing\u2019, will word get back to Stacey?<\/p>\n
