Poor Max Branning has been struggling in EastEnders after being dumped by Linda Carter and next week he makes a huge decision.

It all begins when Jack Branning tells his brother that he can’t tell Linda that he knows about Mick Carter’s abuse.

Unfortunately for Jack, Max has a plan in mind and it’s not long before he tells Phil Mitchell that he has evidence that could put in prison – but what does Max want?

Later on in the week, it all kicks off between Mick Carter and Max and it’s not long before the former is threatening his neighbour to stay away from his wife.

When Linda makes it clear to Max that she doesn’t love him and to never speak to her again, he’s left rejected and decides to leave the Square.

Elsewhere Jean Slater encourages Sharon Watts to give things another go with Phil, Ash Panesar tries to apologise to Iqra Ahmed and Stacey Slater tries to expose Ruby Allen’s fake pregnancy.
