Detective Constable Martin Crowe is a fictional character in the British ITV soap opera, Emmerdale, played by Graeme Hawley.
Police Officer Martin, making his first appearance in May 2004, as the investigating officer whenever Jack Sugden (Clive Hornby) was accidentally shot in the chest by his adoptive son, Andy (Kelvin Fletcher). He then made another appearance in October 2004, when he investigated Scott Windsor (Ben Freeman) and Syd Woolfe's (Nathan Gladwell) savage beating of Pearl Ladderbanks' (Meg Johnson) rapist son, Frank Bernard Hartbourne (Rob Parry).
Martin was bowled over the first time he laid eyes on Woolpack barmaid, Louise Appleton (Emily Symons). With her best friend Diane Sugden (Elizabeth Estensen) away on holiday, Louise had offered to babysit Diane's stepdaughter Victoria (Hannah Midgley) and that night, took her to karate class, only to bump into Martin. While there was an undeniable spark from day one, it took a while for Martin and Louise to get together.
Not a natural mother, Louise struggled with Martin's daughter Kayleigh (Lily Jane Stead) and often found herself annoying her new beau with her incompetence. For Martin, Kayleigh is the centre of his world. When his marriage split up, the kindly cop got custody of his daughter and put all his energy into bringing her up.
