EastEnders' Mark Fowler Jr returns to Walford

Mark Fowler Jr is heading back to Walford to join his older sister Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) and the Mitchell family later this month.

Stephen Aaron-Sipple has taken on the role of Mark and joined the cast in October. He has already made his debut when he appeared in the recent New Years Day flashforward episode, placing him at the centre of the Branning’s unfolding drama.

Little is known about why Mark has returned and what he has been up to in the time he has been away, but it soon becomes clear not all is as it seems.

Stephen Aaron-Sipple says: “Having grown up in East London, EastEnders has been in my life since childhood and I’m excited to be joining not one, but two iconic Albert Square families! I’m looking forward to viewers seeing why Mark is back, and what Walford has in store for him.”

Executive Producer Ben Wadey says: “We are thrilled to welcome Stephen Aaron-Sipple to EastEnders and bring Mark back to Albert Square. Viewers had a glimpse of Mark in the New Years Day flashforward episode, with the circumstances around his upcoming involvement with the Brannings set to unfold throughout the year.”
