'Biggest funeral' planned in EastEnders
10:59 GMT, Friday 9th January 2004 -- by Neil Wilkes
Mark Fowler will be given "the biggest soap funeral ever" in EastEnders later this year, according to The Sun today.
Actor Todd Carty was axed from the show last year and was subsequently seen leaving the Square one last time after learning that his HIV condition had worsened.
Now he'll be back, but in a coffin. Producers are already "in talks" with a number of big names to return to the show for Mark's funeral, including Peggy (Barbara Windsor) and Phil (Steve McFadden).
“Fans have seen Mark suffer with HIV for years and finally he dies from a related illness," an insider told the newspaper.
“His funeral will be a huge event with the Watts, Fowler and Mitchell families squaring up to each other. Familiar faces will return and producers are talking to a string of names.”
