EastEnders bus crash: Fans threaten to BOYCOTT BBC soap if Martin Fowler’s killed off

Fans took to social media tonight urging EastEnders bosses not to kill him off, but as the scenes are pre-recorded, their pleas may be too late.

Martin (played by James Bye) was presumed dead, but Max Branning (Jake Wood) suggested the able-bodied survivors should club together and lift the vehicle, freeing the former.

Looking bloodied and lifeless, he opened his eyes and called out for Stacey (Lacey Turner), saying: "I love you," before she replied: "No, don't say that!"

One viewer tweeted: “Swear to god @bbceastenders I will stop watching if you kill Martin. I'm begging you #EastEnders."

“Killed off the only bit of totty in the show!, what a mistake to make, won’t bother watching now,”(sic) noted a fourth.

It is feared that the 747 double-decker bus driver is dead, while Mick Carter (Danny Dyer) suggested that Whitney (Shona McGarty) was also fatally wiped out in the accident.

At the end of the dramatic instalment, he was seen looking around on hearing a phone vibrating underneath the wreckage.

"Pipe down. Pipe down," shouted Mick, before turning in slow-motion towards the bus, adding: "Whitney."

Having dropped the bus back down to the ground after pulling Martin out, some fans speculated that Albert Square residents inadvertently killed off Whitney.
