EastEnders star James Bye has said that the current love square involving his character Martin Fowler will change dramatically over the coming weeks.

Upcoming episodes will see Martin rekindle his tenuous relationship with his flatmate Stacey Branning, but he is currently unaware of her feelings for his best friend Kush Kazemi.

Shabnam Masood learned that she is expecting Kush's baby, and a future storyline will also see Stacey fall pregnant as well.

Speaking about what is coming up next in the complicated storyline, Bye said: "The Shabnam, Kush, Stacey and Martin love square changes so dramatically over the next few weeks. The viewer reaction will shift as the weeks go on. When I go on Twitter, the reactions change from night to night depending on what happens. There is more stuff coming up for Martin and Stacey and also for Martin and Kush. You find out more about Kush and Martin's friendship and just how far back they have been and how close they are. Hopefully, down the line, you will see it all come to a head and they will have a scrap. Martin has absolutely no idea at the moment how Stacey feels about Kush."

Bye also admitted that he would like to see a tougher side to Martin if and when the truth about Stacey and Kush eventually comes out.

He said: "The beauty of playing Martin is that even though he is the mundane guy, when he has a drink, anything can happen. I would like to see that side of Martin. He has come back a bit soppy and I don't know why he is being like that. He is a hopeless romantic and he does just want to be in a family, have a wife and be happy."
