EastEnders’ Martin Actor James Completes A Decade!
EastEnders icon James Bye has completed a decade as Martin Fowler in Walford. Long-time viewers know that the beloved actor took the role from former Martin portrayer James Alexandrou in 2014. The popular character has been a part of several big storylines, including his on-and-off relationship with Stacey Slater. We all know that Martin was also blackmailed by Ben Mitchell and left for dead during a robbery staged by Vinny.
To express his gratitude, the star took to Instagram stories and reflected upon his time on the BBC show. He wrote, ‘10 years today… A decade playing The Fowler. What a journey… Huge love to those of you who’ve messaged me on my anniversary today! It means so much. Truly…Big love to you all… From your favourite fruit and veg man.’ Bye is definitely one of the most loved characters on the longest-running soap.
As for his current stint on the show, Martin has been facing big bombshells ever since his ex-wife Ruby Allen arrived in Walford with their son. However, the vegetable vendor has no idea about the kid, and after learning that he has one, he will do anything to be a part of his life. Ruby and Martin’s son Roman is struggling with liver issues and needs to undergo a transplant. So, Martin might offer to help after his son’s condition worsens.
