Michelle Fowler
Michelle Fowler (also Holloway) is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera "EastEnders", played by Susan Tully from the first episode in 1985 until the character's departure in 1995. In December 2016, it was announced Michelle would be returning to the show after 21 years, with actress Jenna Russell taking over the role making her first appearance on 24 December 2016. In her first stint Michelle made some huge mistakes during her time in Albert Square mainly through having a habit of choosing the wrong men and her stubborn nature meant that she rarely accepted help or listened to good advice. Being determined and outspoken, she has never been afraid to defend herself or her beliefs. Since the recast to Russell in 2016, Michelle's storylines have revolved around her having had an illegal relationship with her student, Preston Cooper (Martin Anzor) in America, a love triangle involving her niece Bex Fowler (Jasmine Armfield), crashing Phil Mitchell car into the local chip shop and being stalked by Tom Bailey (Daniel Casey). Russell's departure from the show was announced in March 2018, and Michelle departed on 17 April 2018.
List of EastEnders characters (1985)
Martin Fowler, played by [[Jon Peyton Price]] from 1985 to 1996, [[James Alexandrou]] from 1996 to 2007 and [[James Bye (actor)|James Bye]] since 2014, is the younger son of [[Pauline Fowler]] ([[Wendy Richard]]) and [[Arthur Fowler]] ([[Bill Treacher]]), born in July 1985. His considerably older siblings are [[Mark Fowler]] ([[David Scarboro]] and [[Todd Carty]]) and [[Michelle Fowler]] ([[Susan Tully]] and [[Jenna Russell]]). Martin is the first baby to be born in the serial. His grandmother [[Lou Beale|Lou]] ([[Anna Wing]]) is extremely fond of him, and insists that he is named after her late husband [[Albert Beale|Albert]]. Pauline and Arthur are against this, and for several months the baby remains unnamed, although Lou continues to refer to him as Albert. The baby's name is finally revealed as Martin Albert Fowler at his christening in October 1985, which satisfies Lou. Martin grows up facing numerous family upsets, including his father's mental breakdown and imprisonment and his parents' temporary separation in 1993, which Martin takes badly. As Martin ages he becomes surly and increasingly troublesome.
