The tragedy will hit Bex hard as she tries to adjust to everything that’s happened in the past five years, including her father Martin reuniting with his ex Ruby Allen and finding out he had a son called Roman, before confessing his love for Stacey.
EastEnders has confirmed that actor Jasmine Armfield will be reprising her role as Bex Fowler following the tragic events that aired during the show’s live anniversary episode last week.
Bex’s cousin, Vicki Fowler, will also be returning to the show in the coming weeks after 20 years away from the show.
He was the son of Pauline and Arthur Fowler, and was played by several actors over the past 40 years, with James Bye taking over from James Alexandrou, who had played the character from 1996 to 2007, in 2014.
Jasmine Armfield, who is reprising the role of Bex, has said: “It’s wonderful to be back at EastEnders and to see so many familiar faces.”.
