Mark Jr affair ‘sealed’ as fan theory ties his return to EastEnders flashforward

Is an affair on the cards for Mark Jr?

EastEnders viewers have predicted that the return of Mark Fowler Jr. is setting up a massive affair, as also hinted at in the soap’s recent flashforward episode. Eagle-eyed viewers will remember how Mark was there when Max was arrested on New Year’s day (next year!) while his family looked on.

Viewers were quick to note how cosy this mystery figure seemed to be with the Branning family, leaving many wondering how he’d come to be involved with Lauren, Oscar and Jack.

Might the soap be setting up an affair between Lauren and Mark Jr?
