EastEnders fans are predicting a romance between Ruby Allen and Zack Hudson following Martin Fowler’s tragic death as the news begins to affect the whole of Walford
EastEnders has broadcast the heart-wrenching aftermath of Martin Fowler’s (James Bye) sudden and tragic demise, leaving a profound impact on his loved ones and the entire Walford community.
In Monday’s episode (February 24), Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy) was recuperating in hospital after giving birth to baby Julia, but had to break the devastating news to her and Martin’s daughter Bex (Jasmine Armfield) about her father’s death.
Upon returning home, Sonia received a visit from Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), who encouraged her not to distance herself from her newborn due to her grief, leading Sonia to offer Linda and her family a place to stay following the destruction of The Queen Vic. Concurrently, Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) was also receiving medical attention after the pub explosion and confessed to Grant Mitchell (Ross Kemp) that she couldn’t stand the thought of never seeing the man she considered as a brother again.

Sharon also shared that Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) had informed Martin’s grieving sister Michelle (Susan Tully, Jenna Russell) about the tragic incident. Back at the Square, Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) was shattered by Martin’s loss, revealing to her mother Jean (Gillian Wright) that before his death, she and Martin had reconciled and he had even proposed to her.
Meanwhile, Ruby Allen (Louisa Lytton) is struggling to accept the loss of her partner and the father of their young son Roman, unaware that Martin spent his last moments making amends with his ex-wife Stacey.
Heartache hit Walford hard as Ruby was left devastated by the lack of visitors for her and Roman, with only Zack Hudson (James Farrar) offering a shoulder to cry on. As Zack comforted Ruby over Martin’s tragic fate, the pair entrenched in their grief, shared a poignant embrace, reports Plymouth Live.
