EastEnders' Martin Fowler star hints steamy relationship with Ruby could get even hotter

EastEnders may have gone on a break thanks to the coronavirus halting filming, but it looks like there's a lot of drama in store when it finally returns to our screens.

James Bye, who plays Martin Fowler, has dropped a huge hint about his character's relationship with Ruby Allen (Louisa Lytton).

Before the show went off air, we saw the duo growing close and James, 36, says they could "get it on" again when we return to Albert Square.

He told new! magazine: "I can’t wait to get back and see what EastEnders has in store.

"I think where they left Martin before the break was quite an interesting position, with the hint that Martin and Ruby were getting it on.

"I'm excited to see where that goes."

James also said he was excited to see how the BBC soap will be filmed now bosses have to implement social distancing on set.

He said he looked forward to "the challenges we’re going to face as actors on the floor and directors with the social distancing.

"But I'm always up for a bit of a challenge, so I look forward to seeing how we're going to do it as a team."

EastEnders stopped filming in March after the coronavirus lockdown came into place.

The show was rationing to just two episodes a week to keep it on air for as long as possible.

But last month EastEnders went off-air for the first time in 35 years after it ran out of episodes.

The cast returned to the set this week but have to follow strict rules during filming.

They must stay two metres apart at all times and will have their temperatures checked every time they're on set.
