EastEnders - Mark announces he's leaving Walford (3rd February 2003)

The Fowlers hold a birthday party for Mark, but things soon turn very awkward when Mark announces that he's going travelling and has no plans to return. Unbeknownst to his family, he is leaving so that they do not have to watch him eventually die of an HIV-related illness.

Mark was a top bloke in EastEnders, hard to believe Todd Carty also played that maniac cop in the Bill so well too

Gabriel Kent

[@clairetaylor1732]

Pc Gabriel Kent he played very well

[@mikeykm1993]

Arse Robinson PC Gabriel - I forgot about that 😂

[@johnross8656]

Funny how Vikkies American accent suddenly changed

[@kevinprior3549]

Pauline saw Ian as another son. Pity Michelle wasn’t there to see him leave! But like her girl Vicki she was always me me me. And Pat going "what u mean mmm hmm?"... Brilliant

[@ForestKicks]

Nice 'pretending to be surprised' acting from Todd Carty there

[@leejones8582]

I liked Mark shame they got rid of him along with Roy like Louise Berridge you take those 2 characters away and where is the moral centre

[@kevinprior3549]

Get the feeling Mark knew at this point he got the AIDS and knew his life was pretty much over. And he didn't want people to see him get bad hense that's why he left

[@jamiedodger7830]

"The AIDS" 🤣

[@paulinegenner2588]

That's Evil 😈😈😈

[@carlaconnor8347]

He knew he had HIV, NOT AIDS, from 1990. You moron

[@nathanchristie8881]

Goodbye Mark fowler

[@kevinprior3549]

Does it take 3 years for a bankruptcy to be lifted?

[@tijindersingh4928]

It's such a shame Mark and Phil couldn't bury the hatchet before Mark left the square.

[@kevinprior3549]

After what Phil put thru Mark thru with Lisa, Louise, and nasty hints over his HIV/AIDS. I don't blame Mark

[@powerspyin1games]

At least him and Peggy buried the hatchet

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

You wouldn't be getting your money out of Mark Fowler if he didn't turn a happy occasion into a depressing one!!

[@j04370859]

Do you have the clip where Bianca catches Ricky and Sam kissing? It was around February or March 1996 I believe, I can't remember the date though.

[@loriannwhite8384]

Why does Vicki speak with an Irish accent? She was born to British parents & went to live in Florida at 10?

[@kevinprior3549]

Sounds American to me

[@seanyedgar94]

She put on an American accent for a few months in this then that suddenly disappeared and she spoke British.

[@JoeHickey-n9q]

I remember mark left he was going off to die

[@danl2136]

He not a child Pauline

[@crevrath7374]

This version of Vicki was terrible casting almost as bad as the fake Michelle.

[@Anonymous_Anon882]

Nowhere near as bad as Michelle 2.0.

[@Hissing-Syd]

Always was a sad sack

[@jamesfeighan5991]

Vicky looked proper hot back then I wish they bring her back

[@kevinprior3549]

Too selfish to care about his Uncle Martin probably... as I said like mother like daughter
