Max And Cindy’s Romance From Feuds To The Bedroom
Max Branning and Cindy Beale have long been Walford’s ultimate nightmares. And now, after they were involved in a near-fatal car crash, the dynamics have changed. Initially, Cindy wanted to stand Max up next week. However, when she sees his closeness with Linda Carter, there’s a sudden jealousy.
We are all already aware of the pair’s history. Max was responsible for Cindy’s son Steven’s death. They had a missed confrontation at Lauren and Peter’s wedding. However, they finally crossed paths during a lonely Christmas Day at The Albert. Unaware of their true identities, they ended the night in a ‘passionate’ encounter. When they realised who they slept with, it turned out to be awful.
Next, they both had the same goal to take down Jasmine Fisher. Hence, once again, they were forced back into each other’s arms. Next week, Cindy plans to avoid a proper date with the Branning matriarch. However, when she sees him with Linda, she ‘changes’ her mind.
Hence, she decides to attend the date after all. In fact, to her surprise the date was a success. But they will have to confront the reality of the situation. The Beales and Brannings are linked through marriage and children. Hence, neither faction will bless Max or Cindy.
