EastEnders: Max admits he wants Tanya back

Max Branning has always been one for wanting his cake and eating it, so it’ll come as no surprise that he is about to turn his ex-wife’s life upside down, telling Tanya he wants her back.

Last week, the Walford businessman was left stunned as his wife Kirsty informed him that she is expecting his baby.

Although Max tries to keep the news under wraps for a while, his daughter Lauren later discovers the truth and ends up spilling the beans to Tanya at home following a huge drinking session at the Queen Vic.

Tanya holds out hope that Max will be decent enough to tell her the truth himself, but when she gives him an opportunity to be honest and he doesn’t take it, she reveals that she knows about the baby.

When Tanya questions Max about why he didn’t tell her, he admits that it’s because he doesn’t think things are totally over between him and Tanya.

As Max adds that Kirsty isn’t keeping the baby, Tanya is disgusted to realise that he has asked his wife to have an abortion because he’s keeping his options open.

When Tanya warns Max that there’s no way back for them, will he decide to give Kirsty his full support?

EastEnders airs these scenes on Friday, April 19 at 8pm on BBC One.
