Max’s Choices And The Bride Mystery In EastEnders
The January 1 wedding in Walford has sparked endless speculations. And Linda Carter, Cindy Beale, Chelsea Fox and Denise Fox are all potential brides. However, many think that Linda is the obvious pick as her feelings for Max have been clear. Moreover, the two even shared a kiss recently.
