EastEnders: Max tries to make amends with his family after wrecking Jimmy’s christening tonight

[ad_1]

A guilt-ridden Max Branning wrecked Jimmy’s christening in EastEnders tonight (Tuesday, December 30) after clashing with Cindy Beale in front of their horrified friends and family. Max turned up at the church last night, where he shared a shocking reunion with Cindy Beale.

Each realising who the other was, the pair soon made everything about them.

And, as the christening devolved into violence, Peter took a swing at Max – getting one back for his trouble. Max’s bad behaviour continued back on the Square, where he continued to make an enemy of himself with… well, everyone.

Here’s everything that happened in EastEnders tonight.

Max and Cindy ruined Jimmy’s christening in EastEnders tonight

As the episode continued tonight, the penny dropped for Cindy that she was sharing a room with the one and only Max Branning. Sensing tension between the pair, it didn’t take those gathered long to realise that something had gone on between Max and Cindy.

Furious at Max for derailing everything, Peter took a swing at his father-in-law. Max retaliated by punching Peter right back. Outside, he was ordered to leave by everyone – including his grandson, Louie.

Back in Walford, a moody and aggressive Max continued to antagonise his family. Multiple parties tried to make Max see sense, but he went on stropping and lashing out at pretty much everyone in his path.

Full of booze, he returned to Peacock’s Palace in a more somber mood. After apologising to Linda for his behaviour, he continued to wallow in self-pity. There was still one page left in the Max Branning playbook though – making a move on Linda after he mistook her kind words for something else.

Later, Lauren rages at her dad for his actions – and for using Oscar to get her to meet with him.

Afterwards, Max goes to Harry’s Barn where he vows to fight for his family. But will they accept Max’s attempts to do the right thing?

Everything that happens next as Lauren’s charity money theft is exposed

[ad_1]

Lauren Branning’s theft of the charity money was exposed in EastEnders tonight (Wednesday, December 17) as she was forced to come clean to Peter and her family. Viewers will remember that a desperate Lauren stole the cash to fund a medical procedure to help baby Jimmy… a procedure which turned out to be a scam.

With Peter aware that the money’s gone missing, a suspicious Max soon begins sniffing around. And, after noticing how close Ian and Lauren have grown in his absence, soon theorises that Ian stole it – and started the fire – as an insurance scheme.

Backed into a corner, Lauren was forced to admit the truth. But what happens next?

Max confronted Ian over the fire

As his return to Walford continued, Max waited at Oscar’s side as he recovered in hospital from the fire. He soon grew suspicious over recent events – namely, the missing charity money, and Laurena and Ian suddenly becoming inseparable.

Returning to Albert Square with Oscar and the family, Max headed across the street to pay a visit to his old flame Linda. Oblivious to Annie (and her shock of red hair), he asked Linda for a room at the newly-established Peacock Palace.

The pair then headed to The Albert, where she filled him in on everything (well, not everything) that had happened over the past five years. He revealed that he planned to stick around, even revealing that he hoped to bring Abi Jr. (currently staying with ex-wife Tanya) back to Walford when he was all set up.

Afterwards, still suspicious about the fire, Max headed back to the scene of the fire, where he confided in Jack that something was amiss. He was convinced that Ian had started the fire as some kind of insurance scam.

And, at The Vic, an ugly confrontation took place. Max accused Ian of stealing the charity money and starting the fire.

And, as he began throttling his former rival, Lauren was forced to admit that she’d stolen the money.

EastEnders spoilers for tomorrow: All the fallout as Lauren admits she stole the charity money

As the soap continues tomorrow (Thursday, December 18), the Beales and the Brannings reel in shock from Lauren’s admission. Max, still set on being there for his children, steps up in support of Lauren.

But how will Peter and the family react to news that she stole the money? Will Max ignore another crime on the behalf of his family? And can Ian and Max settle their differences?

Whatever happens, it seems as though the families attempt to move forward in time for Christmas – with next week’s spoilers revealing that an awkward Christmas dinner between Max, Ian and his children is on the cards.

Max Branning returned as Zoe Slater fights for her life… but what’s their connection?

[ad_1]

EastEnders icon Max Branning made his return to the soap tonight (Wednesday, August 3), as it was revealed that he has a surprise connection with Zoe Slater. Max’s sudden comeback came as Zoe’s life hung in the balance, after being shot by Ravi and Max.

Zoe’s grievous injuries came as the bitter rivalry between Jack and Ravi escalated, resulting in a violent confrontation. In yesterday’s episode, Ravi learned that Jack was in possession of Okie’s gun, and attempted to steal it back from the police officer.

However, Jack learned that Ravi had taken the gun, and confronted him outside. As the pair got into a scuffle, the gun was fired, and hit Zoe. As Anthony and local paramedics rushed to save her life, Zoe’s phone began to ring.

Enter the one and only Max Branning…

Max Branning returned to EastEnders tonight

As Zoe fought for her life, Kat worried that her daughter was on the run from someone who might mean her harm. And, as Zoe’s phone began ringing, Kat answered.

The figure on the other end of the line didn’t say a word, leaving Kat unaware as to his true identity. It was Max Branning, trying to reach Zoe.

But what’s their connection? And what does Max want from Zoe?

What happens next as EastEnders reveals Max Branning and Zoe Slater connection

The soap first shared the news that Max Branning would be returning earlier this year. Speaking of his comeback, actor Jake Wood said: “I’m over the moon to be coming home to Walford.”

He continued: “Max has got lots of unresolved drama with many characters, so I’m sure he’ll be busy. I’m excited to see what he’s been up to, and what is next for the character. But if his last 15 years in the Square are anything to go by, I’m sure there will be plenty of chaos.”

Max is notably absent from spoilers for the rest of this week and next, so we’ll have to wait and see how Max and Zoe know each other… and what he wants from her.

How do they know each other?
