EastEnders character Martin receives shocking news that drastically alters his life.

Next week in EastEnders, Martin Fowler receives some life-changing news that will leave him stunned. As fans know, while Sharon Watts was in prison earlier this year, she found out from Chrissie Watts that Martin's ex-wife Ruby Allen had given birth to their secret son during her time behind bars. Sharon has been keeping this secret from Martin for the past two months, but she finally reveals the truth to him in The Vic.

Martin is left completely gobsmacked by this revelation, especially when his other ex-wife Stacey Slater questions the validity of the claims. However, Sharon quickly silences Stacey by producing a birth certificate as proof. Martin is floored by this and is determined to speak to Ruby about their son. He asks Sharon for Ruby's address, but they are interrupted by a knock on the door.

To Martin's surprise, it is Ruby herself standing on the doorstep. She barges in and accuses Martin of breaking into her home and stealing from her. A heated showdown ensues, but Ruby eventually admits that they do indeed share a son. However, she then drops another bombshell that changes everything for Martin once again.

This storyline marks the return of actress Louisa Lytton to EastEnders after three years. Her character, Ruby, was last seen being taken away by the police in 2021 after being framed by Jean Slater for growing a cannabis farm as revenge against Ruby for getting Stacey, Jean's daughter and Ruby's former best friend, wrongfully sent to prison.

Louisa Lytton has reprised her role as Ruby for an extended stint and has teased that her character has undergone some major changes since fans last saw her. According to Louisa, Ruby is no longer the lying and manipulative person she once was. She has lost everything and is starting from scratch, which has given her a new outlook on life. But how long will this new outlook last?

Make sure to tune in to EastEnders next week to see how Martin and Ruby's story unfolds. The episode will air on Monday, November 18 at 7:30pm on BBC One and will be available on iPlayer from 6am.
