Fans demand character's exit after wedding snub
27 May
Summary
- Fans want Michelle Fowler killed off or recast.
- Michelle missed her daughter Vicki's wedding.
- She also missed her brother Martin's funeral.
EastEnders fans have voiced strong disappointment regarding the character Michelle Fowler's continued absence from significant family events.
Her absence from her daughter Vicki Fowler's wedding this week has ignited calls for the character to be killed off or recast. This follows Michelle's failure to attend the funeral of her brother, Martin Fowler, earlier in 2026.
Fans expressed their frustration on social media, with one user stating it's 'abysmal' writers haven't brought her back. Another suggested killing off Michelle, citing a history of fabricated excuses for her non-appearance.
Michelle Fowler, daughter of Pauline and Arthur Fowler, has had a complex history on the show. She previously exited for America in 1995 after giving birth to Mark Fowler Jr. and later returned in 2016, portrayed by Jenna Russell, for an 18-month stint.
