Max Branning (Jake Wood) is on the run from the law - but can he clear his name?
Well, judging by this new EastEnders spoiler video, it looks as if Max hasn’t gone far.
In fact, he’s back in Albert Square - and, more specifically, in the Beale house.
Confronting a frightened Jane (Laurie Brett), Max demands to know why she gave him a fake alibi for the night of the murder by inventing an affair between the two.
… and, after not too long, he correctly guesses that she was covering for someone she loves.
More specifically, little Bobby Beale.
**Watch the teaser video below to see him figure it all out: **
Yikes!
Will Max, a father himself, go to the police and reveal the truth about Bobby Beale’s crimes?
Will he vow to keep Jane’s big secret - but flee the country to live as a free man elsewhere in the world?
Or will he go down for a murder he did not commit?
One thing’s for sure, Max WILL be away from Albert Square for a while as Jake Wood takes a year off to spend time with his family.
The actor will bow out from EastEnders later this week, but he has already signed a contract to return in late 2016.
EastEnders continues on Thursday (September 30) at 7.30pm on BBC One.
