Martin Fowler’s daughter Bex to return to ‘EastEnders’

Bex Fowler (Jasmine Armfield) will be returning to ‘EastEnders' in the wake of her father Martin Fowler's (James Bye) death.

Devastated Bex will jet in after years spent travelling the world to be with her mum, Sonia and the rest of the family as they lay Martin to rest. The tragedy will hit Bex hard as she tries to adjust to everything that’s happened in her absence, including Sonia’s incarceration for murder and the arrival of her newborn sister.

Actor Jasmine Armfield will reprise her role as Bex for a short stint five years after leaving ‘EastEnders' in 2020.

Speaking of Bex’s return, ‘EastEnders' Executive Producer Chris Clenshaw said: “We’re delighted to welcome Jasmine home to ‘EastEnders' as part of Martin’s farewell. There’s no way that Bex would miss her dad’s funeral, and Sonia needs her eldest daughter more than ever. It’s been five years in which Bex has gone out into the world, so she’ll come back with renewed wisdom and experience.”

On her return as Bex Fowler, Jasmine Armfield said: “It’s wonderful to be back at ‘EastEnders' and to see so many familiar faces. It’s amazing for me to come home, but for Bex, it’s an absolutely devastating time because she’s lost her dad. She’s grown up a lot, having spent the past few years travelling, so we’re going to see a much more mature and grown-up version of Bex this time around.” 

The news of Bex's return follows the announcement that Vicki Fowler will also be returning to the soap along with her new family.
