Lauren and Abi Branning will attempt to reach out to their estranged dad Max next month, in the wake of the recent revelations about Bobby Beale.
The Walford residents were left stunned last week after Bobby publicly admitted to killing his sister Lucy back in 2014, and upcoming episodes will see the focus continue to turn to wrongly-accused Max.
Max has spent the past 8 months in jail for the crime, but his daughter Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) has now returned to Walford in the hope of getting him justice now the truth is out in the open.
Despite her determination to support her dad, Lauren will be stopped in her tracks when she learns that Max has banned her and Abi (Lorna Fitzgerald) from visiting him.
The Branning sisters problems intensify when Abi is unable to face Max on the day of his court hearing, leaving Lauren to come up with another way to support him.
Deciding to write Max a letter, Lauren reaches out to her dad and explains that she and Abi will be waiting for him if he wants to be a family again.
Lauren later hands the letter to Stacey (Lacey Turner) - who is attending the hearing - but will it prompt Max to reach out to his family? Or have the Brannings been torn apart for good?
