Martin’s Legacy Is In The Balance
A new project involving a piece of Martin’s legacy is causing tension in Walford. We know that the vacuum left by the Walford stalwart has affected everyone from Sonia and Bex to Sharon. Sharon even headed to Australia to support a grieving Michelle Fowler.
Now, many residents gathered at Harry’s Barn to celebrate his life. However, Ross Marshall and Harvey Monroe have sparked a debate by proposing to transform the structure into a dedicated man cave. They intended it as a safe space for the men of the Square to talk.
But not everyone has liked this plan. Some feel that repurposing the shed so soon is disrespectful to the late market trader’s memory. Even Zack Hudson was initially hesitant about the idea.
However, he had a conversation with Barney Mitchell, which altered his view entirely. It was at that point that Zack figured the happy-go-lucky dad would most probably be in favour of a facility meant for friendship and mutual help.
