EastEnders SPOILER: Max is back with a bombshell for Rainie!

How will Rainie feel seeing him again?

Max Branning returns to Walford next week, but how will his estranged wife Rainie feel about seeing him again after all this time?

After it was revealed that Max Branning’s stay in France had been extended thanks to a holiday fling with a French school teacher, Rainie’s nose was left well and truly out of joint.

A fuming Rainie is left to mull over Max’s words, but soon Max has bigger problems to worry about when Ben Mitchell tries to make trouble by telling Jay he still legally owns the car lot land and offers to help him fight Max to get it back.

As Ben puts the pressure on Jay to win back what is rightfully his, it is clear that he has got a hidden agenda.

But how will the Brannings react to the news the papers Jay signed weren’t legal?
