What EastEnders Fans Are Saying On Reddit
A user said, “I’m convinced she’s playing him. The thought of her going from absolute hatred to this situation just doesn’t make sense to me. I refuse to believe that he’s that irresistible to women.” Another shared, “He’s already showing his true colours, getting jealous of Linda being out with Grant.”
A third wrote, “Max also shagged Cindy’s daughter, that should give her the ick considering Lucy was Lauren’s friend too.” Elsewhere someone else commented, “Omg I forgot he slept with Lucy as well!! Very odd they’re together.” Meanwhile, some others said, “Me too. It’s the only way this storyline makes sense. She’s loathed him for years and suddenly they have a couple of bunk-ups and all is forgiven.
Adding further, the user wrote, “That’s not Cindy’s character at all. Plus, like you, I’d like to see Max get a taste of his own medicine. I’d forgotten what a selfish, egotistical twat he is. Also, I hate the way he treats and talks to his kid, who he’s supposed to love so much.” Meanwhile, do you think Cindy is just playing a game with Max? Let us know in the comments section.
