Spoilers: Ben drops a bombshell which stuns Martin in EastEnders

Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden) may have turned over a new leaf for the sake of his daughter Lexi and the man he loves Callum Highway (Tony Clay) – but his decision isn’t coming without problems in EastEnders as Martin Fowler (James Bye) has started to get a taste for the erewards of criminal activites and seeks more work.

Up until now, Ben had been blackmailing Martin to do jobs for him, warning him that he would make Stacey (Lacey Turner) suffer otherwise. Martin ended up carrying out deeds he wasn’t proud of but recently, Ben made the decision to step away from the criminal activites of the Mitchell family so that Callum could safely pursue his dream career of being a police officer.

Out of work and refusing to ask Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) for his job back, Martin visits Ben but Ben drops the bombshell that he has gone legit.

Later, Martin loses patience and ends up lashing out at Kush Kazemi (Davood Ghadami) after learning Arthur is going to see Stacey. Running out of options, he approaches Tubbs directly and reveals he wants to go back into business with him.

As Martin and Tubbs enjoy their financial rewards from the latest crime, Sonia (Natalie Cassidy) is stunned when Martin forks out the cash to buy a car for a delighted Bex (Jasmine Armfield). Chuffed by how excited Bex is by the gift, Martin decides to speak to Tubbs about other ways they can make money after initially being wary.

But when Tubbs tells him the plan, will Martin be prepared to sell his soul for the dirty cash? Photos recently showed Martin holding Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) hostage at gunpoint in desperate scenes to air this Christmas – so it seems fair to assume that he is set to go down an even darker path than before.

One to watch: Monday 9 December at 8pm on BBC One.
