Meanwhile Ravi been a naughty boy too many times and now turning grass to keep out of prison

Meanwhile we still have jasmine and whatever she is up to. She has worked at the gay club now for weeks but still hasn’t given in her id or tax details

Is it something to do with Cindy ?

Lauren and Peter gone on the longest honeymoon

Howie still has the thousands he stole off Patrick

Kat and Alfie still have the pub but obv need to pay back Stacey £100k or at least give her a share of the profits

Will Zoe ever find her abandoned son ?

Vicky still owes shaza thousands and def isn’t paying back £2k a month like she said

He is 18 now. Not that that makes it better of course!

Yeah, I just mean he’s been smoking since his first episode.

Although I also find it strange how he’s always been portrayed as this horny, flirty teenager. I don’t remember anyone ever being like that, male or female.

Meredusoleil · 01/01/2026 02:54

I thought that was the same time frame ie instead of new year 2026, it's one year ahead and it's new year 2027?

Yes as said 2027

Just watched now. Max will never change, there are still plenty of women who like a "bad boy" just see some of the relationship threads on here. Nice try by Linda.
I'm glad he is staying he's a great character.
The jump forward has been in the trailer for a while now and all over the media for ages. The baby scan and the Rolls Royce are new.

I haven’t see. Any trailers or seen on media but I do try and avoid spoilers

didnt you know - I don’t like them 😂😂😂😂

Think we're going to get another flash forward episode, the soaps seem to like them for some reason.

It also hasn't been released early today.

Oh interesting

im just watching red eye and then will watch tonight’s ee

Just watching it now. I really don’t understand why they do so many flash forward episodes when we just want them to deal with some of the shite stories we are having to put up with now

I do love a Max story though

JohnBullshit · 01/01/2026 21:34

These flash forwards are starting to worry me. What if one of the actors dies before they catch up with events?

BusterGroove · 01/01/2026 22:33

I was thinking that! And also, do they all have to keep the same haircuts for the next 12 months???

Cheeseontoastghost · 01/01/2026 22:37

They will be 3months into filming already and tbf Max doesnt have much hair 😂

Chelsea, Priya, Lauren and Cindy all have had the same styles for ages
So intriguing-who is the pregnant woman in his bed and who is he marrying?

You have mentioned it 😂

gingercat02 · 01/01/2026 23:18

Just posted in the spoilers trhread but, just to repeat myself.
Jesus! So much going on.
Who is ethan? Why is he living with Jack?
Who was messaging Lauren? And why have they kidnapped Lauren and Oscar
Max shagging someone who is pregnant but marrying someone else.
Squiggle (Libby) is back
Nic and George happily having a drink in the Vic
Generally WTAF! TOO MANY QUESTIONS

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/01/2026 00:53

Wow that was quite an episode and I may have to keep it to refresh memory through out the year

So max is in bed with a preg woman. None of the below so still cheating I'm guessing as his bride calls him

Can't imagine max being friends with someone preg and in their bed - or her in his bed /flat but friends

So we have possible brides as they like to hint /tease - Chelsea - Denise - Linda - Cindy

Jack is single and moping so I'm
Going for Denise as Ian said he doesn't hold any grudges now and he's had both Denise and Cindy

Plus Denise's daughter Libby is there

Chelsea isn't that stupid to marry him so why else would Libby be there

Ian is almost as much of a stud as max and Jack 😂😂😂

Who is baby Ethan ?

Someone needs to be preg very soon in that family - hoping not Amy so hopefully other daughter Pennys and his grandson

Also said that Ethan and jimmy are alive because of max so what happened to them and how does he save them

Please not another house fire or car crash

Be nice if it was Linda as bride as they have a child together and she deserves some love but equally max is always cheating so maybe not her

Radio said he's been married 4 times and this is the 5th

Wife b4 Tanya - Rachel
Tanya
Kirsty
Raine

Obv Max is being set up as of black gloves man

So who is black glove man

Roll on this time next year

OP posts:
xSideshowAuntSallyXx · 02/01/2026 06:37

He was arrested for solicitation to murder, so who did he hire a hit man to murder?

I wonder if it's Zoe he's marrying and he's put the hit out on Chrissie, she's also young enough to be pregnant. He's probably shagging Priya and the gloved hand is probably Ravi.

Nicola hates Chelsea for some reason. Why though?

Jack and Denise are still together by the looks of it as she stormed out after an argument. I wonder if Ethan is Penny's and Penny's dead because of Max somehow would explain Jack's state and Lauren's concern.

On another note, the police were anything but subtle with their raid and fancy not having anyone at the back of the houses🙄.

the80sweregreat · 02/01/2026 06:43

Whatever the police thought they had on him , it didn’t stick ! Maybe he saved the children’s lives , then hired a hit man ? Although the police must have some evidence to do all that, but clearly not enough !
Why Ian to be your best man ?
Peter isn’t going to this wedding though and that’s his father in law!
Jack ‘ kiss, marry, kill ‘ odd thing to say isn’t it.

the80sweregreat · 02/01/2026 06:55

Libby may have just come back anyway , but clearly something has happened to one of the Brannings as Jack looked crushed and upset has the baby to look after. Points to being one of his children , penny , Ricky or Amy.

the80sweregreat · 02/01/2026 07:00

I feel that we were watching some flashbacks within a flash forwards ! Just to add to the general weirdness around all of it. Only a guess, but someone has Oscar and Lauren hostage !

the80sweregreat · 02/01/2026 07:03

Sounded like Scott Mills voice on the radio shout out! Wonder if it was..
Yet more babies though and a pregnant woman.’
Keeps this soap going ..

the80sweregreat · 02/01/2026 07:12

Considering how hated Max is generally , a lot of people were getting ready for this wedding. Peter was avoiding it as was Jack , but going by the food and matching ties , others were invested in it and Ian as best man too ! They are mortal enemies usually

xSideshowAuntSallyXx · 02/01/2026 07:18

Ian and Cindy will never forgive Max for Steven's death not in a million years. He tried to pay him off on New Year's Eve 2025 and said to Cindy he'll get rid of him for good.

I think Ian hasn't actually forgiven Max so I think him being best man and so desperate for the wedding to go ahead is actually a hint to something.

the80sweregreat · 02/01/2026 07:29

How could you be a ‘ best man’ to him with their history ? I mean it’s so ludicrous isn’t it.
Maybe Ian is behind the kidnap plot with Oscar and Lauren ? Tipped off the police too.
In cahoots with someone ( Ravi?) to get back at him.

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/01/2026 08:00

I’m liking Zoe as bride or pregnant one - had r thought of her

if Ethan is pennys who is the dad - or even if Amy’s again who is the dad

OP posts:
NortyTorty · 02/01/2026 10:16

I’ve just watched and share the concerns about characters in last night’s episode being unable to be in the actual episode in a year’s time 🤣

So based on the phone call - bride is Chelsea, Linda, Cindy or Denise - unless a red herring. Surely Cindy and Denise couldn’t be pregnant?

No sign of Kat or Alfie in the Vic?

Where is George and Nic’s baby if they’re happily morning drinking in the Vic?

Are we now about to get a year of cufflink type clues? Im not sure my memory is up to such a long story lead time again 🤣

xSideshowAuntSallyXx · 02/01/2026 10:18

And what happened for the Vic window to need to be boarded up.

Catpiece · 02/01/2026 10:48

Here’s my take. I reckon it’s Chelsea he’s marrying. That’s why Libby was there. Ethan could be the baby of Chelsea and Max, so Denise’s grandson and that’s why he’s at Jack’s. It was only Chelsea who looked like she was messing about with a wedding dress. Linda was just at the mirror doing her make up and it could have been any clothing in Cindy’s suit bag.

It was, he was in the credits.

the80sweregreat · 02/01/2026 12:48

If they had only just got around to boarding up the window, whatever went on with the rescue and the two children was close to Christmas or during Christmas So all this won’t be solved for ages ( unless there are many more clues , the biggest one , of course , whoever gives birth to baby Ethan , at least it will explain why Jack was caring for him and depressed)
Max this year will be up to his old tricks. He also needs a job too ! ( drug dealing with Ravi is my guess)
