EastEnders continues to heat up as Martin and Stacy grow closer, much to Ruby’s dismay, while tensions rise over the future of Bridge Street Market.

After Eve’s poisoning and rushed hospitalization, Martin rushed to her side, only to be caught in a tense moment with Ruby. Stacy, who had already feared Ruby’s intentions, witnessed a private moment between Martin and Ruby when they kissed. Stacy’s jealousy reached a boiling point, accusing Ruby of scheming to steal Martin away. With emotions running high, Stacy struggled to hide her frustration as she saw Martin and Ruby’s growing connection.

Meanwhile, the market redevelopment drama intensifies as Walford residents unite to protest the plans to turn Bridge Street Market and Square Gardens into a car park. The latest twist saw Junior Knight winning the contract for the redevelopment, igniting a fierce resistance. Kim Fox rallied the locals together, creating a daring nude calendar to raise funds for the campaign, highlighting the community’s determination.

Next week, the market’s future hangs in the balance as Ruby encourages Martin to push for clarity on his pitch for the redevelopment. At the Queen Vic, Martin faces a pressing deadline to present his case to the council, leaving him in a difficult position. Ruby is caught off guard when Stacy offers to help, and her jealousy flares as she sees them working closely together. The drama reaches its peak when Mr. Liser arrives with the council’s verdict—will the market be saved, or is Walford set for a major change?

As the stakes rise, the relationships between Martin, Ruby, and Stacy will only grow more complicated, while the future of the market remains uncertain. Stay tuned for the explosive fallout!
