James Bye hints EastEnders’ Martin and Ruby could be ‘getting it on’

James Bye is looking forward to seeing if his ‘EastEnders’ character Martin Fowler and Ruby Allen "get in on" when new episodes of the soap air.

The 36-year-old actor has revealed fans will be able to get some hints about what is coming up on the show in his and Davood Ghadami’s (Kush Kazemi) upcoming ‘Secrets From the Square’ episode, and he is "excited" to watch the plot unfold as a viewer.

He said: "I’m looking forward to getting back and seeing what EastEnders has in store really.

"I think where they left Martin before the break was quite an interesting position with the hint that Martin and Ruby were getting it on.

"So I’m looking forward to seeing what is going to happen as much as being involved in the show, as a viewer I’m also quite excited.

"As well as the challenges we’re going to face as actors on the floor and directors with the social distancing. I’m always up for a bit of a challenge so I look forward to seeing how we’re going to do it as a team."

However, if Martin and Ruby (Louisa Lytton) do get it on then it is doubtful they will be able to get up too close and personal due to social distancing guidelines.

James also hopes the ‘EastEnders’ viewers will be able to see the "real" relationship between himself and Davood on the spin-off show, which sees Stacey Dooley interview cast members.

He is quoted by Digital Spy as saying: "It’s not phoney, it’s a real on-screen/off-screen relationship. They might get a few teasers as to what’s coming in the near future.

"Little bits that they don’t see, and I took Stacey around the Square which was quite nice, showing her and the audience parts of the market that you don’t get to see very often."
