The whole entire Branning family - including the deceased Bradley Branning - are all back together again!

Actree Jacqueline Jossa, who plays Lauren, proved that the Brannings are still as strong as ever off-screen by posting a cosy snap of a smiling Jake Wood (Max), Lacey Turner (Stacey), Jo Joyner (Tanya), Lorna Fitzgerald (Abi) and Charlie Clements (Bradley) all enjoying a much needed catch up at The Ivy.

The picture is a treat to the eyes - especially as we haven't seen Tanya and the late Bradley Branning in a long while - two characters who EastEnders fans miss ever so much.

Jacqueline simply captioned the snap 'Brannings' accompanied with a lil love heart emoji.

Awwwwww!

It's not all bad though, as the devilish Max Branning is back on our screens this Christmas in an explosive comeback storyline after 14-months away from the soap!

Speaking to Radiotimes about reuniting with his on-screen daughters Lauren and Abi, Jake Wood, who plays Max, said:

"As it turns out, things are better between Lauren and Max than they are with Abi.

"I think Lauren will be more pleased to see him, but hopefully Abi will come around. As I say, Max is a changed character coming back, so hopefully the girls will see that."

Max will make his big comeback on Christmas day, with actor Jake Wood promising a side of Max no one has quite seen before.

Speaking to Radiotimes, he said: "He's a changed character.

"It was interesting for me to see those changes - he's not the same man as when he left. And I think the viewers will be surprised and excited about that. The reaction he gets will be interesting."

Missed Max as much as we have? Why don't you remind yourself of all the amazing storylines he's been apart of while you count the days until his much-anticipated return.
