Lauren and Abi Branning have been left fighting for their lives in EastEnders after an action-packed Christmas Day.

The sisters – played by Jacqueline Jossa and Lorna Fitzgerald – fell off the Queen Vic’s roof as they tried to convince dad Max not to kill himself.

Their mum Tanya returned to Walford to save her kids from Max and expose him for killing Steven Beale and his other secret misdeeds.

Forced to leave Stacey’s house after she rejected him just a day after reigniting their affair, Max was attacked by Steven’s dad Ian for his killing.

But when Ian was dragged away, Kathy vowed to deal with Max once and for all and begged Phil Mitchell to kill him.

As Max stood alone in the Square, Phil emerged with the gun he had received from Billy and beat Max up.

Despite max begging Phil to shoot him, he refused though in the scuffle a shot rang out, but Max was left alive.

Deciding he had nothing left to live for, Max stormed up to the Vic’s roof and readied to take his own life.

But when Abi and Lauren spotted him, they raced upstairs to stop him.

Abi shouted: “Get off the ledge dad, we are not going back in without you.”
