In the bustling world of EastEnders, Ruby Allen finds herself in a high-stakes situation to save Walford Market while trying to win over Martin Fowler. Her return to the square last November brought plenty of drama, especially when she revealed the surprising news of giving birth to their son, Roman, while behind bars.
Since her comeback, Ruby has been striving to reconnect with Martin. However, her jealousy over Martin’s bond with ex-wife Stacey Slater adds to the tension. Stacey, meanwhile, is navigating her own complicated feelings for Martin, leaving fans wondering how this love triangle will unfold.
Martin’s Mission to Save the Market

With the market’s future on the line, Martin steps up to support Stacey and Eve Unwin in their fight to keep their livelihood intact. He organizes a crucial meeting with the council, hoping to secure the market’s survival. Ruby, however, feels left out when she sees Martin and Stacey working closely together.
In next week’s episodes, Ruby informs Martin that Roman, who had been in the hospital battling autoimmune hepatitis, will soon be discharged. Noticing Martin’s mounting stress, Ruby decides to step in and lend a hand. While her intentions are good, her involvement quickly leads to unexpected challenges.
Ruby’s Risky Plan
As the council meeting is unexpectedly moved up, Martin reluctantly accepts Ruby’s offer of support. Unfortunately, Ruby clashes with Councillor Barker during the discussion, leaving the situation even more precarious. Refusing to back down, Ruby devises a bold plan when she later encounters Barker at the Minute Mart.
Will Ruby’s daring move save the market, or will her actions put it at greater risk? And how will her efforts impact her dynamic with Martin and Stacey?
