Mark Fowler Jr is set to make a full return to Walford later this month, reuniting with his older sister Vicki Fowler, played by Alice Haig, and reconnecting with the wider Mitchell family. His arrival brings another familiar name back into the heart of Albert Square.
The role of Mark has been taken on by Stephen Aaron Sipple, who joined the cast in October. Viewers have already caught a glimpse of him after his brief appearance in the recent New Year's Day flashforward episode, a moment that quietly placed him at the centre of the Branning family's developing storyline.
For now, details surrounding Mark's return remain deliberately unclear. What he has been doing during his time away and what has drawn him back to Walford has yet to be revealed. As events unfold, it becomes apparent that his homecoming is not as straightforward as it first appears.
Stephen Aaron-Sipple says: "Having grown up in East London, EastEnders has been in my life since childhood and I'm excited to be joining not one, but two iconic Albert Square families! I'm looking forward to viewers seeing why Mark is back, and what Walford has in store for him."
Executive Producer Ben Wadey says: "We are thrilled to welcome Stephen Aaron-Sipple to EastEnders and bring Mark back to Albert Square. Viewers had a glimpse of Mark in the New Years Day flashforward episode, with the circumstances around his upcoming involvement with the Brannings set to unfold throughout the year."
