SHOCKING TRUTH REVEALED!! EastEnders crash horror as two legends hit by car – and we know the driver
Max Branning (Jake Wood) and Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) are pushed closer together in EastEnders next week as they are involved in a horror car accident.
The dangerous duo have been at the centre of a love-hate, will-they-won’t-they storyline since they first hooked up upon Max’s return to Walford at the end of last year – with Cindy unaware at the time that he was the man responsible for the death of her son Steven Beale (Aaron Sidwell) back in 2017.
While Cindy learned of his identity in spectacular fashion at their shared grandson Jimmy’s christening, she has been unable to deny the sizzling sexual chemistry between her and Max, and they fell back into each other’s arms again last month.
Now, with Cindy being teased as one of the four women that Max was set to marry in the New Year’s Day flashforward episode, EastEnders is further building towards that possibility when the pair are caught in a terrifying situation together in forthcoming scenes.
It all begins Ravi Gulati’s (Aaron Thiara) worsening mental state leads to him dropping a bombshell on his son Nugget Gulati (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury) that leaves their whole family reeling.
Ravi’s partner Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan-Levy) is at a loss for how to get him to accept help, so she tricks him into going to hospital by suggesting they all leave Walford together.
As Priya is driving them in a car she’s borrowed from the car lot, Ravi cottons on to her secret plan and a row breaks out.
At the same time, Nugget starts to have another seizure in the back seat, and Priya momentarily takes her eyes off the road, causing her to lose control of the car.
It then veers off the road and straight into Max and Cindy, who are returning home from a nursery mixer with baby Jimmy.
An injured Max escapes from the car and launches a desperate mission to rescue Cindy and Jimmy.
Fortunately, he manages to get them both out to safety, and relieved they are all fine, Max and Cindy share a moment before heading to the hospital, where their feelings deepen.
Is this the moment that seals Cindy becoming Max’s mystery bride?
