You may remember him as the beloved Mark Fowler from the popular soap opera EastEnders. Yes, we're talking about the talented Todd Carty. He graced our screens for thirteen years, playing the eldest son of Pauline and Arthur Fowler. Mark's journey on the show was filled with drama, heartache, and some unforgettable moments. But what has the actor been up to since his departure from the BBC One soap?
After bidding farewell to EastEnders in 2003, Todd's life took a new direction. He went on to make appearances in various shows such as Doctors, Holby City, and A Touch of Cloth. However, what really caught everyone's attention was his iconic stint on Dancing on Ice in 2014. But before we talk about that, let's take a trip down memory lane and revisit some of Mark's most memorable moments on EastEnders.
One of the most significant storylines for Mark was when he was diagnosed with HIV. He kept it a secret at first, but eventually opened up to his friend Diane Butcher. It was a tough time for Mark, but after a year of processing his diagnosis, he decided to reveal the truth to his parents in one of the show's most-watched episodes on Boxing Day 1991. While his mother, Pauline, was heartbroken, his father, Arthur, initially reacted with hostility. However, he eventually came around and showed his support for his son.
Mark's journey on EastEnders came to an end in 2003 when he was told by a doctor that his body was rejecting the AIDS medication. He made the decision to leave Walford for good and was last seen riding out of Albert Square on his trusty motorbike. It was a bittersweet moment for fans, and we couldn't help but wonder what would happen to Mark next.
Sadly, we got our answer when Martin received a phone call in April of 2004, informing him of Mark's passing from AIDS-related non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. It was a heartbreaking moment for everyone, and we couldn't believe that the beloved character was gone forever.
But let's fast forward to 2014 when Todd made his appearance on Dancing on Ice. It was an exciting moment for fans to see their favorite soap star back on their screens. However, things took a hilarious turn when Todd skated out of the tunnel midway through his routine, catching everyone off guard. The moment went viral and is still talked about to this day.
But Todd's life isn't all about acting and skating. He was recently spotted doing some shopping at Waitrose, looking stylish in a hat, blue jacket, and glasses. It's always good to see our favorite soap stars living their lives outside of the screen.
