I can totally see ruby doing that - she has been so off the rails since coming back. I think stacy should turn her back on her if she does.Quote:

Bradley's family is extending, that should be good! I have been thinking for ages that just Max turning up doesn't really consitute as a 'family reunion' (that's been quoted in many magazines). Now Max's wife and her 2 daughters are coming into it. Maybe they couldn't say anything until it was confirmed.
It mentions in the article on DS that Max is a womaniser. The relationship reminds me of Den/Chrissie and Johnny/Tina. Tania (Max's wife) wants to build up a life of her own, and have money to support herself so that she can leave him if she needs too. He's definetely the dominant in the relationship! Maybe abusive too (it doesn't mention that though). Perhaps he's trying to turn over a leaf, I mean no mother in their right mind would allow her daughters to live with somebody who they didn't feel comfortable with.
Ooo daughters that sounds quite good, but Bradley has never mentioned them... so maybe he doesn't get along with them very well or maybe he doesn't even know about them?Quote:

I never realised they had split up, lol ... I've never missed an EE episode since like 2001 except 1 but I always forget what happens! :lol:Quote:

Yeah that sounds like like what could have happened, I don't think he would be abusive towards the daughters inless they needed Max for money because they could be poor.
Yeah so probably his mum and dad split up when he was quite young, I'd say just before his teens because when he reacted the way he did with Stacey when he thought she was cheating on him, he wasn't very calm.Quote:

Max hasn't really been shown as a character before, they had Carol's brothers in it a long time ago when she was going out with Alan, but it was as a group, and I'm sure it wasn't the same actor. I don't think they mentioned a Max back then either. You haven't missed an episode involving them.Quote:

I can see he'll need a lot of time to get his head around it. It's difficult with stepfamilies isn't it?! And in Bradley's case there's probably a lot of unfinished business from the past.
I can see Bradley becoming close to Tania. I reckon he'll be the one she'll turn to when things get rough with Max. He'll be good as a shoulder to cry on.
Yes I agree. I think a lot of his insecurities; feeling jealous and paranoid, are things that have been projected onto him from his mum. From what the article was saying Max is somebody who is very prone to cheating, which is undoubtedly a problem Rachel (Bradley's mum) had with him.Quote:

And I reckon Bradley trusts her, but then there's niggling doubts which probably come to mind when thinking about his dad.
Liked Bradley and Stacey tonight.
Stacey's comment about what he was wearing was funny. 'If we are dancing in the dark at least i'll be able to see him'.
She seems to find the good in situations now, instead of immediately thinking of the bad. I love them together!
Another reference to Max (Bradley's dad) tonight. Was that because he's coming into it soon?! Or was it to show that Ruby and Bradley have similar backgrounds? It was said right before the mention of Johnny.
