Zack had been wanting to talk to Martin for a while now. He had noticed that Martin Fowler, a market trader in Walford, seemed to be developing feelings for Ruby Allen, a former flame. It wasn't surprising, considering how close their friend had been encouraging him to pursue her.
But things hadn't been easy for Martin lately. His ex-wife had suddenly reappeared and dropped a bombshell - she had a son with him that he didn't know about. To make matters worse, the child had been hospitalized after accidentally ingesting some medicine left carelessly around the house. Now, he needed a liver transplant to survive.
It was no secret that Martin and his ex-wife weren't on the best of terms. She had unintentionally exposed his plan to gain custody of their son to Ruby, who was also his ex-wife. Stacey, Martin's other ex-wife, had doubts about his plan and warned him to stop. Little did she know, Ruby was listening in and found out about his scheme, threatening to keep his name off their son's birth certificate.
Despite learning that his son's donor liver wasn't viable, Martin bravely offered to be the donor, both to save his son and to hopefully repair his relationship with Ruby.
Meanwhile, Martin was torn between his feelings for Ruby and Stacey. Zack, a friend, noticed his flirtatious behavior with Ruby and encouraged him to focus on his son and ex-wife. Stacey, on the other hand, confided in her mom Jean about her romantic troubles and was advised to act fast before Martin turned to Ruby.
Zack advised Martin to figure out which woman he truly had deeper feelings for. But the decision wasn't an easy one for Martin.
In the midst of all this, Stacey was shocked to find out that Ruby had moved in with Martin. Despite his assurance that it was purely platonic, Stacey was offended. Zack also noticed how well Martin and Ruby got along and even encouraged him to make a move.
As New Year's Eve approached, Martin had to make a decision. Would he choose Ruby or Stacey? Meanwhile, the Slater family was taken aback when Ruby showed up for Christmas dinner. Her intentions were unclear, but it seemed like she wanted to come between Stacey and Martin. Finally, they were able to sit down and talk, but their moment was interrupted by Jean, who informed them of some drama at The Queen Vic involving an affair.
As the new year approached, Martin made the decision to skip a big night out and spend it with Ruby at the hospital. Could there be a romantic moment between them under the fireworks?
