Things are looking extremely perilous for EastEnders’ Martin Fowler (James Bye) following Wednesday’s 40th anniversary episode.
On social media, fans have also noted how Martin’s current partner Ruby Allen (Louisa Lytton) and both ex-wives Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) and Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy) are all leaving in the coming months, suggesting his death could be a way to facilitate their exits.
Last year, James Alexandrou spoke of handing the mantle over to James Bye during an interview on Johnny Seifert’s Secure The Insecure Podcast.
James Bye took over the role of Martin Fowler when the character returned to Walford after a seven-year absence in 2014.
‘He apparently caught wind of it, and he came on to do a scene, and he kind of went, “Oh, it’s you!” It was a strange moment, it was a really strange moment, because we don’t know each other at all, and the only thing that bonds us are these words on a page called Martin Fowler.
