EastEnders Martin Fowler has got some explaining to do next week when his actions cause trouble for Ruby Allen’s rape case.
Ever since Ruby went to the police reporting Matt Clarkson to the police for rape, Martin has been struggling with his divided loyalties.
With his old schoolfriend pleading innocence, Martin has been torn between who to believe, and things got even more complicated when he was questioned by the police about the night of the attack.

But after reluctantly showing the police the photo Kush found of Ruby and Matt kissing on the fateful night, it seems Martin’s actions will quickly come back to haunt him.
Next week sees Ruby moving into a new home on Albert Square after renting one of Jack Branning’s flats.
But her happy day soon turns sour when a police officer arrives with an update – they have got the photo of her kissing Matt – evidence that could change everything.
Martin goes to visit Ruby in her new home, but he quickly senses something isn’t right and guiltily realises that it is the photo that he gave to the police that’s causing issues.
Panicking that Ruby and Stacey are going to find out that he’s responsible for the new twist in the rape case, Martin begs Kush to say he was the one who handed the picture to the police.
Kush isn’t happy but agrees, knowing that his friend is in a pickle.
But that’s not the end of the drama. Stacey is then shocked when Ruby suddenly announces she is going to drop the charges against Matt, thinking no one is going to believe her now this photo has come to light.

Stacey is fuming and lashes out at Kush, leading Martin to thankfully do the right thing and confess it was his doing all along.
The mum-of-three is visibly crushed that her husband could do something that could jeopardise the case, and decides to invite Ruby over before forcing Martin to tell her the truth.
Will Martin be able to make amends and convince Ruby to continue to fight for justice?
EastEnders will air these scenes next week on Monday 19th November at 8pm and Tuesday 20th November at 7.30pm.
