Fans were left devastated in February when Martin was killed off during the explosion at The Queen Vic as part of the BBC soap’s 40th anniversary celebrations, bringing an end to Bye’s 11-year run on the show.
"I think, just for the fans, I would," he told The Sun. "I know how important that character was to the fans.
“"f ever I was given the opportunity and it made sense for the plot, or if it was just a bit of fun, yeah, I would. Obviously I would always want to honour that character and the fan base it has."
After addressing the possibility of a return, Bye also confirmed he would not rule out joining a rival soap in the future, saying: "If the other soaps are anything like EastEnders was, then I’d be a fool to say no."
However, the fan-favourite character won't be gone forever, with star Turner previously confirming that she will be "coming back" to the BBC soap at a later date.
