Owen Hughes was a fictional character in the popular BBC soap opera EastEnders. He was played by Philip Brock.

[edit] History

Owen was Mark Fowler's Welsh friend who returned to Albert Square with Mark after they worked together on a farm in Wales. He was first introduced sleeping rough in the Fowlers' doorway with Mark, waiting for the family to wake up and let them in.

Owen's most notable characteristics were his obsession with the band Pink Floyd, his 'out there' conversations (particularly about marrows) suggesting he was permanently stoned, and the fact that he had body odour.

Owen and Mark were soon hounded out of Albert Square by Tony Carpenter, after he discovered his 11-year-old daughter Cassie smoking cannabis, which she stole from them. They left in a hurry on Owen's motorbike and Owen was never seen again.
