New EastEnders pictures show Denise Van Outen's character Karin Smart sharing a passionate kiss with Max Branning.
Tonight's episode sees Karin arrive in Walford to see Phil Mitchell, but she soon takes an interest in Max (Jake Wood) instead when he intercepts her.
After the pair make a surprise business deal, they both end up at Max's place and are unable to keep their hands off each other.
With a lucrative deal under his belt and a glamorous new love interest, it seems that things are going well for Max - but he may have to learn the hard way that not everything is as it seems with Karin.
