Martin "Marty" Murray is a character from Channel 4 soap Brookside played by Neil Caple from 2000 until 2003.
Actor Neil Caple began playing the role and the Murray family debuted on-screen during the episode airing on 28 March 2000.
Of their introduction, Marquess revealed that "the Murrays are an ordinary working-class Liverpool family, who will play a key role in taking Brookside back to basics.
"[2] On the official Brookside' website Marty was described as working hard to move his family off a council housing estate.
Adele announced that she wanted an abortion, a decision that offended Diane's Catholic views but one that Marty supported.
Marty was shocked to learn that his son Anthony was being bullied by two schoolgirls, Imelda Clough and her friend Paige.
Marty later strongly encouraged Anthony to stand up for himself, losing his patience by hitting him when he did not do this, but later did by attacking Imelda with an iron bar.
After learning that Imelda's family are looking to press charges Anthony resolves not to return to school and Marty agrees to home-school him.
When Marty finds Brigid, Anthony's tutor, educating him about religion rather than the academic content she was supposed to, he threw her out.
Anthony coped with the stress and guilt badly, smashing up a science lab and attacking another student with a metal bin when his head was pushed into a sink.
The police soon dropped their interest in him, however, turning their attention to Marty after learning that a girl had gone missing in similar circumstances at a previous school where he had worked in Doncaster.
The gunmen search the house to pass the time and find letters accusing Marty of paedophilia in a video case.
When Adele is unable to do so, the gunmen make their best attempts to treat Marty sadistically; denying him drinking water and throwing it all over him instead.
Pursued by a police helicopter, Terry shot at it causing it to stall and crash into the petrol station where Diane was working, killing her.
Marty decided to marry Jan irrespective of this revelation, however Christy lost his place as best man, a position which was given to Anthony instead.
When Jack discovered cannabis in Suzie's room he stormed around to the Murray's and attacked Anthony, accusing him of supplying drugs to his daughter.
When Jan protested Anthony's innocence Jack hit her, before threatening to torch the entire family if they reported him to the police.
Furious that Michaelson would hit his wife, Marty, Steve and Christy attacked Jack with planks of wood.
Marty later received a call from the hospital saying that Anthony and Suzie were found collapsed in the park after overdosing on drugs.
Adele returned to Leeds, Marty, Anthony and Jan left for a new house while Steve went into business with Tim in Wales.
