Martin Fowler is in for a fright as his estranged wife Stacey plans to take the kids away for good in EastEnders – can he persuade her to stop or will he lose access to them for good?
Things between the former couple are becoming more strained than ever since their split, with Stacey refusing to let Martin see the kids overnight, despite Michelle’s attempts to talk her round on his behalf.
Stacey later changes her mind and takes Hope round to see Martin but he smells a rat and assumes that she just needs someone to look after Hope while she spends time with Max Branning.
He stuns Stacey by refusing the offer and she is livid, leading to a struggle to remain civil. As Martin vows to do what it takes to win the battle, Michelle worries that he is going to hire a lawyer and things will get even more difficult.
Later, it seems that Stacey has had enough of the fighting and plans to hit Martin where it hurts – by taking the kids away to Brighton for good. Michelle spots them getting into a cab and rushes to alert Martin who races to the scene and angrily confronts Stacey.
As a massive row explodes between them in the middle of Albert Square in front of the kids, can Martin stop Stacey from going? Or will the situation just become even worse for all involved?
One to watch: Friday 9th February at 8pm on BBC One.
