SOAP SHOCK EastEnders drops secret clue about the identity of Max Branning’s pregnant lover
EASTENDERS has dropped a secret clue about the identity of Max Branning’s pregnant lover.
The BBC soap’s New Year’s Day flash forward episode revealed that Max would be sleeping with a heavily pregnant woman by January 1.
That means that the mystery woman – whose identity wasn’t revealed in the episode – would be falling pregnant around now.
And this week one character has had a shock romp in the Square.
As such fans are convinced that it will be she who ends up in bed with Max on his wedding day to another mystery woman.
Viewers watching this week saw Sam Mitchell bed ex-one night stand Zack Hudson.

And as the timing fits perfectly, they are convinced that Sam will be the one who gets pregnant.
One wrote: “Sam is ‘only’ 50, after her shag with Zack today I’m hoping it’s her!”
A second said: “I could certainly believe a surprise Sam pregnancy but I wouldn’t want her to abandon a second child after all the fabulous progress she’s made as a character this stint.”
Another added: “I am holding onto hope that Sam might have a late in life pregnancy though after her fling with Zack today.
“Another surprise return before Christmas perhaps?”
The identity of the mystery woman will be revealed by January 1, 2027, when the flash forward’s secrets are fully exposed.
The soap has already been forced to change some things after Radio host Scott Mills was sacked by the BBC – despite featuring in a cameo role.
