EastEnders is not letting anyone breathe this week. First, Linda Carter just walked out, and now Max Branning is coming back. Fans are still spinning from Linda handing over the Queen Vic to Kat Moon. Keep scrolling to know more.
Linda Walks Away, But Trouble Follows
Linda did not make this decision in a hurry. She realised the bad memories in that pub now outweighed the good ones. It was too much, and she knew she had to step away. But before she could even walk out clean, more drama landed right at her door.
Oscar Branning turned up, and he did not know he had another sister in the Square. His dad, Max, is Annie’s father. That truth has been locked away since 2021, and Max still does not know. Linda was uneasy when Oscar said he would enjoy watching his dad’s face drop when he found out. Lauren Branning stopped him from making things worse and gave him some tough words.
EastEnders: Max Branning Steps Back In
Jake Wood is officially back as Max Branning, and his return will shake the Square. Executive Producer Ben Wadey teased that Max has unfinished business and the family may not even want him back.
Max has been moving from one place to another since leaving. He went to New Zealand, then France, and later Croatia with Abi Junior. With Linda now out on her cruise, fans are already asking what could happen. Could Linda meet Max while away? What if Annie ends up crossing paths with Abi Junior somewhere by chance?
Whether Max shows up before Linda or after her, one thing is sure. Walford is about to feel the heat. Jake will appear briefly first and then come back again later this year. For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, follow Soap Opera Daily.
