Martin Fowler (played by James Bye) was not exactly thrilled to see his ex-wife, Ruby Allen (Louisa Lytton), when she returned to Albert Square just before Christmas on EastEnders (7:30pm - see our TV Guide for listings).

But now the ex-couple are trying to make the best of a stressful situation, since Martin has discovered Ruby gave birth to their son, Roman, soon after she was released from prison.

Roman remains in hospital, where he is being treated for an autoimmune condition.

So that means Martin and Ruby are now spending plenty of time together in each other's orbit.

On tonight's episode of the BBC soap, Martin's mate, Zack Hudson (James Farrar), wants a big NYE night out.

However, Martin has other plans and wants to spend the evening with Ruby and Roman at the hospital.

Despite the previous bad blood between them, Ruby is clearly thrilled when Martin arrives at the hospital to see in the New Year with her and their son...
