It's been five months since Martin Fowler died in the wreckage of the explosion at the Queen Vic on EastEnders (7:30pm - see our TV Guide for listings)

So it's an emotional day for Martin's ex-wife, Stacey Slater (played by Lacey Turner), and their kids on what would have been Martin's next birthday.

Stacey recently discovered that she is the beneficiary of Martin's life insurance policy.

Which paid out a whopping £100, 000!

But no amount of money is going to bring back the man Stacey loved.

However, there's the chance to remember Martin when family and friends gather in the Vic to celebrate his birthday.

So he enlists the help of his mum, Nicola (Laura Doddington), to keep George's attention over at Harry's Barn.

MEANWHILE, Yolande Trueman (Angela Wynter) worries that her fella Patrick (Rudolph Walker) has started gambling in order to pay for her dream wedding!

But will Patrick listen when Yolande asks him to stop placing bets?
