A FRAUGHT farewell

Emotions run high and secrets are revealed as Martin is laid to rest

- 

Death, they say, brings out the worst in people, and that's certainly the case in Walford, where the tragic demise of Martin Fowler has pushed families apart and prompted a stream of arguments about everything from his burial outfit to the buffet choices for his wake.

As the fruit-and-veg seller's funeral is held, can his loved ones put a stop to their squabbles, or is the recent argy-bargy a mere warm-up for what's to come?

For Stacey, her inability to express her grief has made her loss all the more painful. In Martin's dying moments, she reunited with her former husband and accepted his marriage proposal, but has kept quiet out of respect for his then-partner Ruby.
