EastEnders confirms Max and Zoe’s fates as new spoilers reveal what happens next

The aftermath of that shocking twist (Picture: BBC / Metro) If Max Branning (Jake Wood) collapsing on his wedding day while clutching his chest in agony has left you desperate to find out what happens next in EastEnders, then you’ve come to the right place. Being Walford’s resident lothario is stressful work, something which Max knows too well, given his penchant for destroying people’s marriages and blowing up families. But this time around it’s his own wedding he’s risked scuppering as, just seconds before saying ‘I do’ to Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins), he was faced with the prospect of his affair with Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy) being exposed – by none other than ex Linda Carter (Kellie Bright). Linda had declared her love for Max the night before he was due to walk down the aisle but she was appalled to learn of his fidelity with Priya and thus resolved to do something about it. The former pub landlady didn’t go through with her plan to expose his scandalous affair to the wedding guests but she made clear that Max missed the boat with her after putting a ring on Cindy’s finger. Max subsequently collapsed – just as he was seemingly about to call it quits with Cindy. And his health isn’t the only one fans are worried about after Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) fell into rubble and banged her head while stealing Charlie’s cab. For a look ahead at what happens next, we’ve got you covered! What happens next in EastEnders? New spoilers for Wednesday, September 9 Max’s life is on the line after he collapsed while delivering his wedding speech, during which it seemed as though he was about to call things off with Cindy – just hours after tying the knot – in favour of a potential future with Linda.
