Mark Fowler Jr is set to return to Walford in coming episodes of EastEnders as the BBC recasts the character with a new actor. The BBC recently announced that the mysterious person Max Branning (Jake Wood) was nodding at during the New Year's Day episode was Mark Fowler Jr, now portrayed by Stephen Aaron-Sipple, who joined the cast in October.
'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,' said the show's executive producer Ben Wadley. Aaron-Sipple said he was excited to be joining 'not one, but two iconic Albert Square families' and looked forward to viewers seeing 'why Mark is back, and what Walford has in store for him'.
