Iconic Early Walford Pairings Inspire Praise For A Modern Toxic Romance
Michelle Collins has reacted to Cindy Beale and Max Branning’s iconic soap comparisons. As we know the romantic dynamic between Cindy Beale and Max has created historical comparisons to one of television’s most famous toxic couples. The modern heavyweights have drawn massive critical comparisons to the legendary pairing of Den and Angie Watts.
Now, Michelle has addressed these nostalgic similarities during a television appearance on Lorraine. The prominent actress described the association with the historic duo as an honour.
Michelle added, “A few people have said that, it’s the Den and Angie kind of relationship. Everyone loves them, and they weren’t even there that long but people still talk about them. I think it’s that sparring that gives it that spark.”
Elsewhere, we know that the actress thoroughly loves sharing time with co-star Jake Wood. She finds great creative satisfaction in bringing two naturally erratic personalities together. Adding further, Michelle revealed, “I like working with Jake. He’s a bit crazy like me. We both like drama in life, and they are kind of chaotic.”
EastEnders: Michelle Describes Cindy And Max
Collins revealed that, “Cindy didn’t ever know Max, their paths didn’t really cross. She hated him; he had a lot of history with her children. I think she was determined not to like him from the very beginning. But as you’ve seen, they’re quite similar.”
We are all aware that the two share deep character flaws, multiple stints in prison and a highly complicated bond with their estranged children. Michelle used the word narcissistic to describe the two characters. If she did get married, it would be Cindy’s third marriage, while it would be Max’s fifth marriage.
“It could be a marriage made in heaven, or it could be complete and utter hell and chaos,” reveals the actress. Meanwhile, do you think Max and Cindy will walk down the aisle? Let us know in the comments section. For more EastEnders spoilers and updates keep following Soap Opera Daily.
