Steve Owen is a fictional character in the British soap opera EastEnders. He was played by Martin Kemp.
When he first arrived in 1998, he had bought the Market Cellar, which he had renovated and named e20. It wasn't long before his obsessive ex-girlfriend, Saskia Duncan turned up on the square. She had carried his child and then had a termination - he finished with her but she wanted revenge. She tried to come between Steve and new girlfriend Mel. When Saskia ended up in bed with Steve, she made sure it was public knowledge.
On the opening day of the e20 - Valentine's day of 1999 - Saskia turned up and started taunting him and then began knocking him around until she finally tried to strangle him with his tie. In self-defence he reached for the heaviest object - an ashtray - and hit her over the head. The blow had been fatal, killing her instantly, she was buried in Epping forest with the help of Matthew Rose who witnessed the events.
Her body was later discovered and Matthew confessed all to the police, leaving both him and Steve in prison. However, Steve walked free while Matthew was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to seven years in prison.
Howeverm, Matthew got his revenge in 2000 after he was released. He captured Steve - tieing him to a chair - in the e20 and threatening to set fire to it. Steve found himself reduced to a scared, helpless man, which was what Matthew had wanted, he never even intended to harm Steve.
In 2001, Steve married Melanie Healy, despite learning that she had slept with Phil Mitchell on Christmas day.
Steve planned to start a new life with her and her best friend Lisa Fowler in California, but things didn't go according to plan, a car chase between Steve and Phil, ended in Steve's car exploding causing his death.
