Eastenders

Max has the most miserable Christmas

Max Branning is in for a truly miserable festive season, not that we were expecting anything else for the Walford outcast.

Not wanting to be alone on Christmas Day Max summons his daughters, Abi and Lauren, in a bid to mend some fences. However, the ladies are having none of it and walk away from him and each other...

However, while it looks like the Brannings are broken forever, an emotional Abi soon has a change of heart and shows up to celebrate Christmas with Max.

Stacey is about to learn the truth about Max

One person who is not in the least bit happy about spending Christmas with Max, is Martin. Feeling sorry for him, Stacey has offered him a place to say and with their history – they slept together while she was married to his son – you can’t blame him. And Max seems intent on causing some trouble which results in him getting a slap from Stacey.

But the worst is yet to come for Max. Finally Stacey phone makes its way back to her complete with the voicemails sent by Jane exposing everything that Max did around the fire, Steven’s death and her disappearance.  As a frantic Max desperately tries to stop Stacey hearing these messages, his panic is clear and he starts to crack - it’s only a matter of time before the full truth emerges.

Max’s ultimate downfall is about to happen in an apocalyptic scale that will well and truly destroy the Branning family forever. And of course, Phil Mitchell will be there gloating in the shadows…
