EastEnders viewers were left fuming last night after Walford resident Max Branning almost offered Dot Cotton drugs.

Max, played by Jake Wood, who recently returned to Albert Square, broke the news of Ronnie and Roxy Mitchell’s deaths to Dot after they drowned in a swimming pool on New Year’s Day.

And rather than offering Dot, played by June Brown, a pack of tissues as she broke into tears, Max accidentally pulled out a bag of drugs.

Some viewers were astounded and took to Twitter to express their shock.
