EastEnders: Martin to survive but lose a leg, new fan theory predicts

Martin is in peril.

EastEnders fans have been speculating about Martin Fowler’s fate following last night’s dramatic episode. The action unfolded as Martin and Stacey found themselves trapped inside The Vic after a huge explosion, which left the pub in ruins.

The blast, triggered by Reiss (thanks to Cindy’s actions), left Martin and Stacey stuck in the collapsing building, while Sonia was going into labor in another part of the pub. Meanwhile, Sharon had an eerie visit from the ghost of her late mother, Angie, and other residents managed to escape through a window.

At first, Martin and Stacey appeared to be in a better position than others, making their way toward safety. However, things took a turn in the final moments of the episode.

As Martin made his choice (sorry, Ruby), a beam from the ceiling broke loose, sending Stacey tumbling and trapping Martin beneath it. While he was still intact when the episode concluded, many viewers are left wondering for how long.

Some EastEnders fans have speculated that Martin might survive the collapse, but could end up losing at least one leg in the aftermath.

As the episode aired, fans took to social media to share their thoughts on Martin’s future, with some speculating that he might suffer permanent injuries from the pub collapse.

“Wonder if they’re going to take Martin’s leg/s?” one fan asked on X.

“Reckon Martin’s going to end up like Paul Robinson and lose a leg,” another fan remarked, referencing the Neighbours character who lost a leg after a fall off a cliff.

“He could end up permanently paralyzed instead of dying,” pointed out a third fan.

“I think… Martin’s chosen Stacey, and now he’s going to end up disabled or lose his legs, and Stacey’s going to be like ‘I didn’t sign up for this,’” a fourth speculated.

Will Martin survive the collapse? And if he does, how will his life change moving forward?
