Martin Fowler seems set to move on from his ex-wife Stacey as a newcomer pays a romantic interest in him in the same week that he starts divorce proceedings in EastEnders. But with fans having seen mysterious Hayley watch Martin from afar, it’s clear that he could be in danger.
Martin and Stacey try to make the best of childcare arrangements but when a day out goes awry, they fail to sort things out and Martin contacts a solicitor to officially kick off divorce proceedings. However, when Stacey apologises, things appear to be smoothed over.
As Martin works on the market, he is taken aback when Hayley shows an interest in him and he enjoys a brief flirt. And when they then meet up again by chance while Martin and Kush are out with the kids, Kush leaves them to get to know each other.
When Stacey walks in and sees Hayley kiss Martin on the cheek, she is put out and feels irritated that he is able to move on so easily.
Is there a romance on the cards for Martin and will it kick off tensions between him and Stacey all over again? Or is he not quite ready to move on? Either way, it seems that Hayley certainly has ulterior motives…
It remains to be seen whether Martin will have a smile on his face or whether this new contact will cause more problems in the long run but there is big drama on the way with Stacey’s relatives Kat, Mo and Jean set to return.
Will the fearsome quartet leave Martin quaking in his boots?
One to watch: Friday 23rd January at 8pm on BBC One.
