SO now we know. Steve Owen was not killed in Walford at all. Our exhaustive investigations tracked down the evil EastEnder in the unlikely setting of Nunnington Hall.

Perhaps unsurprisingly for a man last seen trapped in a blazing car, Steve has assumed a predilection for chucking himself into the nearest lake.

Our research revealed he now goes under another name, Martin Kemp, and fashions himself as an actor.

But the moustache and boater do not fool us. He is still up to no good. Our message to the lady in the bodice is simple: get away now, before it's too late.
