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.
