15 years later, Dot’s house still looks the same

Poor Martin, he loved his brother so much. He was the closest thing to a father after Arthur died.

I forgot how much of an unbelievably thick bastard Martin was.

Pauline was never the same after this until her death, she became a whole different person after Mark died

I relate to the part where Pauline says that she would jump each time the phone rang thinking it would be "the call". I went through the same thing for two years when my uncle was dying of cancer. In the end I was asleep when the call came, but it was devastating nonetheless.

From the time Sonia was a little girl, helping Bianca through all her troubles through now… she was always a calm head in the face of crises for the people she loved. Very well acted.

Pauline and Martin lost a whole family. Downhill all the way after Lou's death. Michelle and Vicky left for America, Arthur died, then Pete, then Martin was left alone. A once prominent family gone.

should never have killed Mark off.

God, this show was amazing.  Complex, imperfect characters and difficult situations.  I think we all knew how good it was it at the time.  At least there's that.  It's a shadow of itself now.

Now Michelle is the only one of the original Fowlers still alive 😭😭😭

It’s a shame they don’t mention mark or make a tribute to him because hiv/aids is still dangerous in 2020 despite the advances they have made in 39 years

'The call' is the call that no one ever wants to hear, not just parents

I can't believe this was 20 years ago. They're using an A-Z!!

RIP the great wendy Richards! Her acting was amazing here! Her love for Mark was clear to see here, very sad scene 😢

i can relate to this so much, my lil brother is hiv+, NOT FROM DRUGS OR SEX,  but hospital blood transfusion, he was 15yrs at the time, hes in his 40's now, but getting so ill each day, im in tears now coz hes suffering , and i cant do anything to help him, big brothers take care of there lil bro's...... im dreading that phone call coming in, god bless xxx

Martin was such a Muppet

Martin was an annoying asshole for shouting at Sonia- he was in shock and denial but it’s still annoying to watch. However Sonia behaviour was also annoying as hell, why did she only give Martin the facts in annoyingly slow dribs and drabs - people need direct straight talk when it comes to this kind of thing.

really sad 😭 poor Pauline and Martin all here support

This Martin was the only EE actor who couldn't act, up until the last actor to play Ben.

0:31 this was some camera work you never see in Eastenders, surprised they didnt reshoot. Swinging the camera and zooming in like its Modern Family or Succession or something 😂 somehow felt more dramatic
