TROUBLED Lauren Branning will reveal she tried to bump off her dad Max in a gripping New Year EastEnders plot.
Viewers have been enthralled by the ‘Who tried to kill Max?’ plot in which mum Tanya is trying to take the blame for the hit-and-run.
The devoted mother of three, played by Jo Joyner, told coppers she mowed down estranged husband Max (Jake Wood) after he pushed her to the limit. But the real culprit is revealed to be her 14-year-old daughter Lauren (Madeline Duggan), whom Tanya is trying to protect.
Lauren confesses to Max next month after seeing her mum in the dock and fans will be kept on tenterhooks over her fate.
At first Max doesn’t believe the teen, and thinks his guilty daughter is just trying to spring her beloved mum from the clink.
An insider said: “It’s another brilliant twist for the soap. Max is stunned and the viewers will be on the edge of their seats.” Max remains convinced his would-be murderer is his brother Jack (Scott Maslen).
Our source said: “The idea that Lauren could have tried to kill Max is beyond him. But it all stems from last Christmas. When she found the DVD of Max kissing daughter-in-law Stacey, Lauren lost all respect for him. The reality is she hates him.”
Other Christmas storylines include Nasty Nick’s return, Sean’s shock death . . . and Suzy Branning’s exit.
So Sean drowns in the lake :(
