EastEnders resident Martin Fowler (played by James Bye) has found himself in some sticky situations in the past few months, after becoming involved with bad-boy Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden) in an attempt to right his wife Stacey Fowler’s (Lacey Turner) wrongs. However, he looks set to seek comfort in a new source – will he land himself in further trouble?
Stacey has been absent from Walford in the past few months, after having to leave after her part in leaving Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) in a coma, after attacking him in the Archers.
She fled with husband Martin and their children, after they were warned to stay away from the square, as Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) was instead put in the frame.
However, recent weeks have seen Martin return in an attempt to fix things for his wife, as he has got himself into some dodgy dealings with Ben Mitchell.
With Ben vowing to “go clean” this week, the villain told Martin that he was happy for Stacey and the kids to return.
