EastEnders James Alexandrou: Its not the right time to return now James Alexandrou has said that he is not ruling out a return to EastEnders. The 28-year-old actor joined the BBC One soap as Martin Fowler in 1996, later leaving in 2007. Despite Alexandrous screen wife Sonia returning to Albert Square this year, he has said that he will not be coming back to the show any time soon. Speaking to Whats On TV, Alexandrou said: Natalie called me when she went back in it and she was so happy and it seems like theres a really nice atmosphere there, and I know that when Danny Dyer came in it really energised it and hes great for the show. For the first time in a long time, I was really going, Could I do it? Could I do it? But I dont think the times right for me right now. But its never a no - its just not right now. Alexandrou, who is currently starring in a West End production of Othello as Iago, told Digital Spy in 2011 that he was not interested in returning to EastEnders in the foreseeable future.
