Another Branning family gathering descends into chaos in tonight's episode of EastEnders (January 10).
The clan come together to support Tanya this evening after Max (Jake Wood) invites Kirsty around for dinner to discuss their ongoing problem, hoping to reach a solution once and for all.
Unsurprisingly, the mood is tense at the meal as Tanya (Jo Joyner) and Kirsty (Kierston Wareing) continue to exchange barbed remarks in front of everyone.
However, this isn't the only issue on the night, as Abi (Lorna Fitzgerald) also inadvertently sparks trouble by inviting along her new friend Dexter (Khali Best).
Dexter manages to charm most of the Brannings, but when a furious Ava (Clare Perkins) turns up and announces that he's her son, it's clear that Dexter hasn't been honest with everyone about his intentions...
