All the latest updates and news down Walford way!
EDITORIAL, Tuesday 25th February 2025
We’re still sobbing here at the Walford Walk desks, just like Kathy: we remember little Martin being brought home by Pauline and Arthur Fowler on 6th August 1985, where he became the apple of gran Lou‘s eye. At least until Vicki came along the following year.
Speaking of Vicki, we’ve just received word that she’s returning home to Albert Square – and she won’t be alone! Returning to mourn her uncle Martin and representing her mum, the missing Michelle, Vicki will also be catching up with sister Sharon – and will have to explain to Alfie where her partner is, his brother Spencer! So, who’s this new guy, Ross and his son Joel then – and why has Vicki kept them quiet from her nearest and dearest? Anna Haig takes over the role from Scarlett Johnson who last played her in 2004. Her new boyfriend is played by Alex Walkinshaw, formerly of Holby City and The Bill, while newcomer Max Murray plays his teenage son Joel.
And that’s not all! After her mother’s phone call, Martin’s daughter Bex, once again played by Jasmine Armfield, will return home to comfort mother Sonia and meet little sister Julia. Why did she not come home to help her mum through her recent trials? And will she be her mother’s way out of the Square when Sonia leaves this Easter…?
We’ve been taking advantage of the 40th Anniversary to add more info to the Archive. The whole of The Year Was… articles covering the 80s have been re-edited with new pictures – so why not go and nose through them, eh? And the first episode is still here for people who missed out!
We also have the usual spoilers for next week… Zack’s in for a rather big surprise – and if you were paying attention last week, you may have had a clue as to what (or rather, who) it is…
Until next week. Stay Safe. If not, think of Ange…
