EASTENDERS legend Christopher Parker looks worlds away from Albert Square as he leads a totally normal life two decades after playing Spencer Moon.
The former soap star shot to fame as cheeky chappy Spencer, younger brother of Alfie Moon, but swapped showbiz for a surprising new career.
And while his on-screen love interest Vicki Fowler is making a comeback, Spencer is nowhere to be seen!
16 years after starring as Spencer Moon, Christopher has quit fame to work as a solicitor.
During his three years on the soap, the EastEnders cast member had a one night stand with Vicki Fowler before being blackmailed by Stacey Slater.
Spencer departed the soap in 2005 when Alfie sent him to live with his cousin in Australia.
For two years, Christopher took his TV pursuits to the US, where he worked for TMZ and hosted Dead Famous Live alongside Gail Porter in Los Angeles.
He then graduated from Birkbeck University in London with a law degree.
Since October 2022, the former actor has been a Senior Consultant at Ignition Law.
Meanwhile, Vicki Fowler will set foot in Walford for the first time in over 20 years to attend her Uncle Martin’s funeral, bringing her new boyfriend Ross and his son Joel with her.
Since leaving the Square in 2004, Vicki has been living in Australia with long-term love Spencer Moon, where they ran a bar.
So, when she arrives in Walford with a new man on her arm, it comes as quite the shock to sister Sharon and Spencer’s brother Alfie.

The Vicki Fowler of 2025 comes with a new actress to the BBC soap, as Rain Dogs actor Alice Haig takes on the part of Vicki Fowler.
Speaking recently of her role as Vicki, Alice Haig said: “I am so excited. I have always watched the show, and I was born in February 1985, so I’m the same age as EastEnders!
“It’s so cool to be playing a character like Vicki – we think we know her, but a lot has changed.
“I can’t wait for all the Albert Square drama ahead.”
EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday on BBC One at 7:30pm and is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
