News about James Alexandrou

Martin Fowler, the original actor on the soap 17 years ago, has confirmed he returned to Walford recently. But James Alexandrou said he did not pick up again as Martin, who is now played by James Bye, this time he was on the camera. 'I kind of did go back to last, I shadowed as a producer,' James told Johnny Seifert of Secure the Insecure Podcast. Call the Midwife actress, 38, returned to the soap nearly two decades after he left it - where he began his acting career as a child on the square in 1996. When James appeared on EastEnders, he played Martin, who was married to Natalie Cassidy's character Sonia, and he left the role in 2007 at the age 21.
