Even though Max Branning bid farewell to Walford almost three years ago, some keen-eyed soap opera viewers have noticed a number of possibilities for his possible comeback to Albert Square.
After detecting three significant hints, EastEnders viewers believe that Max Branning (Jake Wood) will be moving back to Walford.
After a disastrous relationship with Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), the womanizer decided to leave Albert Square in February 2021, feeling as though he had nothing else to live for.
Abi Branning, his granddaughter, helped him establish a new life in Croatia. However, in December, Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa), who had previously lived with her father in New Zealand, claimed that he had abruptly left after having an affair with her closest friend.
Jossa confirmed on Saturday that she would be resuming her role as Lauren, leaving some viewers of the BBC One soap opera wondering if her on-screen father Max would also return.
Max has yet to learn that he had a daughter with Linda, the landlady of the Queen Vic, during their three-year affair.
It is unknown if Lauren will learn she has a small sister named Annie when she returns to the Square, although the information might entice her father to move back to Walford.
Due to the fact that Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) and Max Branning both have the same granddaughter, Abi Branning, this might possibly open the door for an explosive Max Branning reappearance.
Little Abi is the child of Max’s daughter Abi, who passed away in 2018, and Steven Beale, who passed away in 2017.
Could Cindy find a method to hunt down Max or get him to return to Walford if she decides she wants Abi in her life in order to gain custody?
In light of the fact that Lauren, Cindy, and his estranged daughter Annie Carter will all be in the Square, EastEnders fans have flocked to social media to predict Max’s return.
Lauren’s comeback was anticipated, particularly following her appearances in the episode that centered on Beale and at Dot’s burial, according to @RyanTheSoapking on X. I eagerly anticipate more altercations between Linda Lauren Cindy and Ian. Will this lead to Max’s comeback as well as maybe #EastEnders? (sic)
The commenter @Wee_Westie29 continued, “Max would also have Abi jr. (Abi and Stephen’s daughter and Cindy’s grandchild), so there’s potential for a story there. #EastEnders.”
“So happy Lauren is returning to #Eastenders,” tweeted @LewisJohnY2, “but my biggest story hope is that she and Linda have some great scenes together and that she finally realizes Annie is her sister and tells Max.”
