With Sharon returning will we possibly see the arrival of Mark Fowler Jnr or is this set to remain a secret forever?

He is the son of Sharon's best friend and her ex-husband, and Sharon has been living in America with Michelle and Mark Jr. Although it would be a bit pointless to bring him in considering Grant and Michelle are no longer around.

I know that but unlike Vicky he is not related and he is still school age.

In a few years I'd like them to have the courage to re-cast Michelle and bring some Fowlers back to the show. Just my opinion though

It could work with Phil though, having failed with his own son a male nephew could give him heart and they could well bond in a way that he never did with his own child.

Mark 'junior' is not Mark's son so why is he called junior?

He's only just school age, he was born Spring 96 as I recall, the reason given for Michelle not attending Arthur's funeral, whose dide on the day of Ben's christening. In fact ehy are of very similar age, just a few weeks between them.

He is called Mark Junior as Mark was Michelle's much loved brother who supported her a lot through the early 90s and as she knew he had HIV and was unlikely to live to old age or have children, she named her son after him.

I don't really see the point of reintroducing Mark Jnr at this point, besides anything else it would be too much of a retread of Vicki following Sharon to Walford and also you'd think she'd have been busy raising her own son the last few years to be too much of a surrogate to Mark Jnr. I've always thought that the ideal time and storyline to reintroduce Mark would be at the same time as Courtney returning early 20s. They fall in love and then find out they are brother and sister. Predictable but...

Well, Mark Jr is Vicky's Brother and Vicky is Sharon's sister so they kind of are. Plus he's the son of Sharon's ex-husband!

Yes, creepy fixation Michelle had with the men in Sharon's life, it's almost like she wanted to be Sharon.

Did Sharon ever find out that Michelle's kid was Grant's? I just don't remember that.

I don't think they will yet unless for a reason like Grant returning or possibly Courtney returning I mean they can do a reveal without Grant being there but it would most likely be premature without the original characters.

i dont remember this happening either but would love to see michelle and her son mark back, also grant and courtney - loads of potential storylines..
there should be a cull of some current cast to make way for something like this

It would be really, really great to have some Fowlers back on the Square, but I'm not sure coming back with Sharon would be the best option. If Michelle were to come back it would be great, (but it's unlikely and I just don't think a recast would be acceptable) but another option is to perhaps bring back Martin? Mark Jr could always come stay with his uncle? You never know!

Mark 'junior' is not Mark's son so why is he called junior?
But he's still Mark Fowler Junior because there is, or at least was, already a Mark Fowler. It doesn't have to be father/son, as seen with the chef Michel Roux Jr, who is named after his uncle!

BIB - i dont think she has been living with them. In another thread a couple weeks back someone said that sharon and Michelle live in different parts of Florida and i think someone else said separate states so i'm not sure how much contact she has with Michelle. Also Michelle is marriied now to someone called Tim so Mark Jnr may have stability and might not want to uproot himself to another continent and Sharons return storyline is
Spoiler
so that suggests she may have been living
Spoiler


If Mark jnr did return then ideally both michelle and grant should be present for the reveal to have maximum impact. Even very brief appearances from the pair could work like david wicks' 2 week return stint earlier in the year

His got Jay, more of a Mitchell than Ben!

Jay is all as he wants in a son!

Yep, they both lived in Florida but not together, totally different areas.

And, yeah, Sharon and Michelle are best friends, but I know that when I was a teenage boy, I sure as hell wasn't about to go trekking across the globe with my Mum's mate to see some old Square where she grew up!

No, you do have to be a son to be called 'JR'.
