Marcus Christie was a fictional character in the BBC soap opera EastEnders. He was played by Stephen Churchett.
[edit] History
Marcus was solicitor to Phil and Grant Mitchell, and represented them in numerous criminal cases from 1990 onwards. 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.
His most recent appearance was in December 2004, when he conned 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.
