Martin’s Funeral Will Be An Emotional Occasion

Martin’s family and friends are bracing themselves for an unexpected day – his final farewell in Walford. Feelings are intense, and his adoptive daughter Lily Slater (Lillia Turner) is doing her best to support her younger, heartbroken siblings.

Meanwhile, their mother Stacey returns home inebriated after being away from the Square for several weeks-Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy) steps in to help Stacey regain her composure, offering her comforting words.

Meanwhile, Ross receives a mysterious phone call and becomes focused on convincing Vicki to extend their stay in Walford.
