He's feeling the pressure as Junior Knight finds himself at the center of a heated discussion in EastEnders. The iconic Walford location, Bridge Street Market and Square Gardens, is under threat of redevelopment, causing concern for many locals and their livelihoods.
The news of potential abolishment hits longstanding fruit and veg trader, Martin Fowler, hard when market inspector, Honey Mitchell, delivers the news. In response, they quickly arrange a crisis meeting at The Vic with other market traders and Honey's husband, Billy Mitchell, to discuss the situation at hand.
As tensions rise, council representative Ian Beale is summoned to The Vic to reveal the council's plans for the market's replacement. The traders are devastated by the news, especially when they learn that Junior has been given the contract for the redevelopment. This revelation raises questions about how Junior will handle the pressure and potential backlash from the locals.
Not only will Junior face scrutiny, but Ian also finds himself in hot water with Martin and his family, as fans know he has a personal connection to the market. His father, Pete Beale, originally ran the fruit and veg stall, and his cousin, Martin Fowler, took over after his passing.

This isn't the first time the market has faced uncertainty. In 2014, the community rallied together to save the market when plans to close it down were revealed. Eventually, it merged with Spring Lane Market, bringing in new traders such as Pam Coker and Donna Yates.
