Unlucky in love Max Branning (Jake Wood) in EastEnders thought he had his new life planned out perfectly with Linda Carter (Kellie Bright).  The two of them were set to fly to New Zealand on New Year’s Eve but with Linda knowing something was wrong with Mick (Danny Dyer) there was no way she could leave him, and left Max to return to Walford heartbroken once more.
