I wonder if Max has anything to do with the bus crash after last night episode.

Did he jump in front of the bus with a scary mask on and frighten the driver so much he had a heart attack?

A bus was on Martin and Whitney but not long after they are in hospital and are not seriously hurt so up and about

Was the purpose of the bus crash just for Whitney and Mick to kiss

Who was the man with Max and where were they?

Where was Billy, Sharon and Phil?

Yeah I was disappointed at all the apparent miraculous recoveries but hopefully there's more to come. As far as I'm aware, at least two characters had head injuries but refused medical attention (Kush and Donna) so they're still at risk.

As for Martin, the doctor was worried about him and wanted him to get a scan. Has that happened?

Spoiler:

Lots of fans are speculating there might be something wrong that will affect his fertility. Given that straightforward, planned pregnancies are almost unheard of in soapland, I think that's very feasible.

I'd say the most significant outcome (so far) has been that the community now trusts Max again - just as we discover his fiendish plan to tear it apart.

I could do without a Mick/Whitney affair I must say, although them successfully struggling to control their feelings could be interesting viewing.

Who was the man with Max and where were they?

They were in The Shard apparently. The man looks to be some kind of "legitimate" businessman who wants to buy up Walford cheaply and gentrify it (something that's very pertinent and also fits in with the new EE set that's being built).

Where was Billy, Sharon and Phil?

Billy was stuck in the traffic jam that held up the emergency services. Why does that always happen when there's an emergency in soapland?

So, here we go, Max is going to become a villain, while Ian and Jane continue on their merry way....

Well fans have been crying out for Max to get his revenge and I doubt Ian and Jane will escape unscathed.

Fictional villains can be pretty sympathetic if we understand their motivations and, given that we've already been shown Max self-harming, I'm hoping that'll be the case for him. His experience in prison has left him hugely scarred and the blame for that rests with Ian, Jane and those who conspired with them. Hopefully the writers won't forget that.

At the moment it looks like the real villain will be Simon Williams with Max as his henchman. I'm excited to see how this storyline will play out.

.

I just hope the new EE set keeps the market in place ,it would destroy the very essence of the programme to finish it.

I thought that Martin was going to be crippled after that. Even when he was stood up, I thought he'd collapse. Whitney sat up to kiss Mick, so she seems okay too.
