EastEnders original Martin Fowler makes savage dig after explosive death
EastEnders fans were left in floods of tears on Thursday night as Martin Fowler passed away in a live episode of the BBC soap, and now the character's original actor has made a savage dig about the show
In a dramatic twist during Thursday 20 February's live episode that was part of the show's 40th-anniversary celebrations, Martin – currently portrayed by James Bye – met a tragic end when he was crushed under a metal beam after an explosion at the Queen Vic. Throughout his tenure on the iconic BBC One drama, James tackled some hefty storylines, including grappling with a stalker, the agonising choice to give up his and Sonia's baby for adoption, and dealing with the aftermath of Jamie Mitchell's fatal accident.
