was a
Fictional Character in the
BBC Soap Opera ''
EastEnders ''. He was played by
Stephen Churchett .
Marcus was the Mitchells' solicitor, always turning up whenever a Mitchell was in trouble. Marcus often got Phil and Grant out of trouble and was never afraid to bend the rules; he once conned
Dan Sullivan into selling his share of the Queen Victoria Pub to Phil.
He left in December
2004 after conning
Sam by telling her that
Phil (who was on the run) needed all the money he could get. Sam sold all of the Mitchell empire (including The Queen Vic to
Den ), and gave Marcus the money. Marcus then fled Walford to start a new life abroad with all the money leaving Sam penniless and homeless after her husband
Andy Hunter threw her out. It was also revealed that Marcus was in on the con with
Den Watts , because Den wanted to regain his position as the landlord of the Queen Vic 16 years after he had first sold it. This ultimately ended in Den's demise, as one of the three 'Walford Witches', Sam, wanted revenge for the con, and Den ended up dead after a confrontation in February
2005 .
