Martin Fowler Quits Albert Square

James Alexandrou, AKA Martin Fowler, is the latest actor to leave Eastenders - only 3 days after his screen wife Sonia, played by Natalie Cassidy, decided to quit.

James has been on the soap for 10 years and is still only 21 - but for once, soap bosses will leave the doors open should he wish to return. So no grizzly death for Martin, but we will have to put up with lothario Martin before he leaves, as he makes a number of conquests over the summer.

My prediction - its either the last we'll ever hear from him - or we'll be seeing martin back in the Queen Vic sometime in the next 2 years
