The popular BBC One soap had a thrilling episode on Monday night when Martin – played by James Bye – came back to Walford. But, as always in soaps, Martin’s return was full of drama as he discovered a big secret.

Earlier this week, Jack was worried about Denise Fox’s tough choice after she told him he had to pick between his job or their marriage while he still wonders about what happened on Christmas Day. Later, Jack shared his worries with Stacey, who he has been seeing secretly, and she told him to do whatever Denise wants to keep things calm.
Stacey also decided to get involved in Denise and Jack’s marriage, where she went to talk to Denise and encouraged her to keep her love life going. To keep things peaceful, they both decided to have a family barbecue to bring everyone together for baby Charli, since Jack’s son Ricky is the dad of Stacey’s daughter Lily’s baby.
The family barbecue started but it was clear that things were awkward between Denise and Stacey. Later, Stacey and Jack went into the back garden, where Stacey told Jack she wishes she could be with him but knows he needs to support Denise, reports the Mirror.
They hugged each other but couldn’t stop themselves from kissing as they shared a passionate kiss. In a classic soap twist, Martin walked in just as they were kissing and couldn’t believe his eyes, shouting: “You have got to be kidding me!” The next episode was a firecracker with Martin telling everyone about the secret romance, even though Stacey begged him not to.
The drama heated up when Jack had a go at Martin, who hit back with a punch, leading to a massive scrap right in the middle of Albert Square. The show finished with Martin having a go at Stacey and then storming away.
Fans on X, formerly known as Twitter, were all worried about Martin hitting Jack first because Jack is a police officer. Someone tweeted: “Hate to break it to Martin but full on assaulting a Cop? Probably not his smartest move ever, although luckily for him Jack’s probably not gonna wanna actually report it as he’s not likely to want his personal/private life gossiped about all over the station right? # EastEnders.”
Other fans were chatting about the fight too, with one saying: “I actually want round two of jack Vs Martin #EastEnders” and adding laughing faces. Another person wrote: “Martin Fowler vs Jack Branning. Heck of a fight scene #Eastenders” and someone else said: “Omg today’s episode is so so good. Welcome back Martin! “.
