Could this be the end for Martin Fowler? There are some hints from EastEnders fans that suggest the beloved character may meet his demise during the show's upcoming 40th anniversary celebrations. Martin holds a significant place in the show's history, being the first baby born on the show in 1985. In fact, his mother Pauline was discussing her pregnancy with Dr. Legg in the very first episode. But as the anniversary approaches, some clues have emerged that may spell trouble for Martin.
Martin has been working hard to save the Bridge Street Market from closure and adjusting to life as a father after discovering his ex-wife Ruby gave birth to their son two years ago. However, his world is turned upside down when Ruby's scheme to blackmail the councillor responsible for the market's redevelopment backfires and the market is shut down. To make matters worse, Martin discovers that the councillor planted rat droppings underneath his fruit and veg stall. As he looks around the Square, he contemplates his life and what he has truly accomplished.
But there may be hope for Martin yet. His friends Honey Mitchell and Stacey Slater make a last-ditch effort to save his livelihood, and it surprisingly succeeds. However, fans have noticed some potential foreshadowing that could lead to a tragic end for Martin. During a party celebrating the traders' victory, Honey mentions a round of shots called "Death Throes" and Martin is seen holding a plush toy duck. Some viewers have speculated that this could be a subtle hint at Martin becoming a "sitting duck" - an easy target for an enemy to take out.
As the 40th anniversary approaches, fans are on the edge of their seats wondering what will happen to Martin. But that's not the only thing to look forward to in the anniversary week. The show will be going live once again, with viewers having the power to vote on the outcome of one storyline. And Denise Fox will have to make a big decision between her husband Jack Branning and her secret lover Ravi Gulati.
In addition, Ross Kemp will be returning as Grant Mitchell for the milestone event, and the identity of Cindy Beale's attacker will finally be revealed. A special documentary will also air, taking fans through the show's history and most memorable moments.
But back to Martin - could he be the one who gets shot? Some fans have already made this prediction, based on the foreshadowing and potential for a dramatic return of Michelle Fowler, portrayed by original actress Sue Tully. And speaking of shootings, Cindy Beale may have her hands on Phil Mitchell's gun, leaving viewers wondering if she will accidentally shoot Martin.
With all these exciting developments, it's sure to be an explosive February in Walford.
