VICKI Fowler returns to EastEnders with some shocking news about Spencer Moon – and she’s also hiding a huge secret.
Martin Fowler, played by James Bye, passed away with a heartbroken and distraught Stacey Slater by his side in the soap’s exciting yet tragic anniversary special earlier this month.
Now as the BBC soap airs his funeral, there’s a blast from the past set to rejoin Albert Square.
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.
As the love child of teen mum Michelle Fowler and Dirty Den Watts, Vicki’s life has been beset with drama from day one.
But 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.
Next week, Sharon’s attention soon turns to Vicki’s new partner Ross and his son Joel.
Vicki explains she has returned for Martin’s funeral before revealing that she and Spencer have separated.
Having learnt of Vicki’s return from Zack, Alfie and Kat head to Sharon’s but they are shocked when Spencer is nowhere to be seen.
Kat questions Vicki on her versions of events, and it’s not long before the true reason behind the breakup is revealed.
In a later episode, Ross and Vicki are in the café and he urges her to ask Sharon for money.

And later in the week, tensions continue to rise between Sharon and Vicki but Linda gives Sharon some food for thought.
Whilst soap fans may remember Vicki as the fresh faced younger sister of Sharon and brother Dennis, played by actress Scarlett Alice Johnson.
The Vicki Fowler of 2025 comes with a new actress to EastEnders, 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 on BBC One and is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
