I'm pretty sure all three unexpected gifts of food (to Stacey, Sharon & Phil, and Ian & Jane) were from Max.Quote:

i hope max revenge plan is good, he needs to visit phil in hospital :p
I really enjoyed the delicious tension in the air due to Max's return - even though he appeared more than reasonable on the face of it. It was great to see Ian and Jane looking petrified and apologising and grovelling! :cheer:
I can't wait to see what Max has in store because I don't believe his forgiveness act for a second. There's a slight but definite air of menace about him to my mind. :D
i feel max is being made out as the villain despite being owed his revenge
I didn't get that impression and I know the majority of fans want him to punish Ian, Jane, Sharon and Phil so hopefully SOC won't portray him as a villain - at least not compared to those who had him locked up.Quote:

I'm sure parkerman will be glad to hear that Winston had a line tonight. :cheer:
As Max was back, I decided to give EE a go tonight. But his return was overshadowed by Winston speaking. If that carries on I might consider becoming a regular viewer again.:thumbsup:Quote:

Leaving Winston aside (if you can :D), did you enjoy the episode?Quote:

Stacey still seems to be very friendly with Max, in which case why has she been very good friends with Jane?Quote:

But any more lines from Winston and I might stay.
The answers to some of your questions only DTC knows I'm afraid! :thumbsdowQuote:

I was heartened that at least Ian and Jane didn't even attempt to excuse their behaviour and that Ian even commented that Max would have got the death penalty a few decades ago.
dot telling max maybe getting sent to prison helped him, what was that, not christian of her
was abi ever angry at laurel, ian and jane, i don't seem to recall she was ever after truth came out
why is jack mad with max?

I hate, what they have done to jack. He's been made to be so arrogant and judgmental.
Saw tonight's as well. No Winston.....
In some ways I can understand Abi's anger but she did accuse Max of killing Lucy, so she hasn't got much to feel superior about.
Also why has she not shown any anger towards Ian and Jane who put both her and Max in that position?
Max is still being portrayed as a villain. I'm just hoping this maybe part of a long game, but I can't help feeling that if, in some way, he does exact revenge on Ian and Jane, he will still be seen as the villain. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
I thought there were two very telling comments in tonight's episode.
First we had Jack referring to Max's "personality transplant" (a phrase much favoured by us soap fans :p). If he hadn't sent Ian and Jane the gift signed from Lucy I'd be thinking now that SOC has decided to draw a line under the whole thing (and the quicker the better). However, the gift along with Jack's comment and Max's tears when describing his state of mind after being released lead me to believe there's much more to come from Max. I don't really see him being portrayed as a villain; I see him being portrayed as still being treated unfairly (but I accept that's a subjective reading of the situation and possibly an incorrect one).
The second telling comment was from Aunt Sal (the square's new fortune teller) who said something asking the lines that Ronnie and Roxy can only exist together. That sounds very ominous to me... :eek:
nothing from shirley on george michael death, not even that him and heather are sharing careless whispers somewhere heavenly exotic

Good to see Aunt Sal again, I do like Anna Karen. Loved the ending, in the gutter where they belong. :D Nice touch crediting everybody who has been involved in the show off and on screen for 2016. I know Hollyoaks did this and Brookside always used to.
I am enjoying Max's return and his scenes with Abi especially were good, Lorna is a great actress, she has grown up so much on the show
I like Aunt Sal too so enjoy her scenes
I don't understand Jack not trusting Max, even Ronnie was accepting of his return and she probably knows Phil helped send him down
Where is Ongar, Jack and Ronnie is making it sound like paradise and Roxy like it is so far away like Narnia :p
Where is Max staying, he seems to have money too, splashing out on drinks, but from where and also why is Max not drinking, looks to be on the orange juice?
It used to be at the end of the Central Line till London Transport (as it then was) closed the line from Epping to Ongar. Fortunately it was later re-opened by an enthusiast group.Quote:

I'm still not sure I like the way this is going with Max. I hope it's all part of some long term plan by SOC.....
You haven't watched another episode Parkerman? :cheer:Quote:

Jenna Russell is really settling into the role of Michelle, really liking the way she is playing it.
Poor Lee, what a powerful ending. Wow.
Wow, what a powerful episode. So many issues being addressed.
I've just finished watching it and feel like I've been punched in the gut. :(Quote:

The look on Phil's face said it all really: Max's "forgiveness" is far more unsettling than his righteous anger would be.
I believe Stacey (and to a lesser extent Roxy) were speaking for SOC and his team when expressing their sympathy and anger at Max's treatment tonight. I hope that goes some way to easing some forum members' minds on the subject. Max came across very sympathetically to me in that episode.
It was a very emotionally draining episode.
Lee's anguish was difficult to watch. :(Quote:
