EastEnders' Martin to get another shock in Ruby exit aftermath

EastEnders spoilers follow.

Next week's EastEnders scenes will see yet another shock in store for Martin Fowler.

Following the pregnant Ruby Allen's recent arrest, who's decided to sell her house, Martin returned home to find his furniture being removed from the premises.

He proceeded to get fired from the club by new manager Dotty Cotton too, but that's just the tip of his troubles.

In the upcoming episodes, Zack Hudson bumps into a gloomy-looking Martin before convincing him to go for a drink.

He goes on to insist Martin move in with him and Sharon Watts for the time being, while the latter knows a solicitor that can help him with his divorce from Ruby.

Meanwhile, over in The Vic, poor Martin is shocked to overhear a lawyer badmouthing one of their client's foolish ex-husbands.

Will his fortunes ever turn around?

Earlier this month, Ruby actress Louisa Lytton discussed whether or not she'll be returning to Walford after giving birth to her first child this summer.

"I'm at home being a mum. I'm doing the thing I've wanted the most in life, so I don't think I'll be in a rush to go back to work. But then, at the same time, I don't know because that is who I am.

"So will I have that moment of, 'I need a bit more of myself back again'?" she pondered.

"I'm gonna stay home, give it a year, I think, of me not working. But if I decide to go back before or after, we'll work it out from there."

EastEnders airs on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays on BBC One.
