How can Max love Tanya when he was gonna run off with Stacey when he helped her escape the police??? he declared his love for her at the airport and was willing to drop his past feelings for Tanya, Vanessa now his ex gf, the kids, his job. Doesnt make any sense. Max is a very weird man

Stacey was the last link to Bradley he had, I dont think he loved Stacey ever like he loved Tanya. He just wanted Stacey to be close to him so he could look after her like Bradley would have wanted. He wanted to cling onto the last link of Bradley he had. Max probably does blame himself for Bradley dying.

I think it was cause she was with Greg still and he didn't really love Vanessa still know excuse for leaving his kids but people do funny things in the spare of the moment.

Tanya doesn't know about that. As has been mentioned, I think he only wanted to go with Stacey because they were the closest thing to having Bradley but he confused it with proper love.

Their only half siblings. They are nothing like Bradley. If Bradley had a child, that would of been a stronger link.

I said it at the time, but that scene with Stacey on Christmas Day was so stupid and out of place. Not to sound like a Disney character, but Tanya is Max's "true love" - the one that he'd never be able to get over.

His relationship with Stacey until that point had been so well-done after the affair, because he grew to adore her like a friend and daughter, but the romantic feeling had long gone. I hated that they decided to bring it back up at the last moment - it seemed so inappropriate and out of place.

Is there many disney films where people have affairs whilst being married to their "true loves"?

I agree on that Max never 'loved' Stacey! It was a beautiful relationship that was going really well until they threw the 'L' word in there and ruined it! Max's feelings for her were undescribable, they were more brotherly and protective of her rather than love, although they were an item at one point.

ANyways, Stacey was madly in love with 'her Bradley' and could never do that to her deceased hubby, not again anyway! LOVE STACEY!!! BRING HER BACK I SAY!

Max never loved Stacey, he enjoyed a fling with her but it was obvious he would never have left Tanya to be with her. Also after him and Tanya split up Max had plenty of opportunities to get back with Stacey but he knocked her back everytime. The Christmas day thing last year was a weird one though - maybe it was just a spur-of-the-moment comment because he was unhappy in his relationship with Vanessa and Tanya was with Greg.

I didn't get that either. Seemed like they just wanted to give Stacey and Max's story a final sense of closure but I didn't buy the 'L' word from him.

then why all the hate on phil cheating on shirley (i know this isnt what the thread is about but it annoys me that people give excuses to some characters and not others)

I never believed it when I saw it, I always thought the only woman who Max loved was Tanya even after everything they had both done to ruin their relationship.

Is it, is it? Or are they just not in love with them.... you don't have affairs if you're truly in love with your partner.

That's why Stacey said right after that he didn't mean that. That it really was because of Bradley [can't remember word for word, but Stacey didn't think for a second it was genuine].

I have to echo the sentiment of this thread.

I don't think Max loved Stacey, he loved the idea of it. She was a link to his dead son, the woman he loved and cherished and he wanted to look after her in that sense, but it was just convenient that they once had an affair, that they since never embarked on again, which exaggerated his emotions if you like.

Add in an unhappy relationship with Vanessa, Tanya and Greg being happy, Stacey's potential incarceration and a crumbling relationship with his eldest daughter, and you have the recipe for an emotional mess who would say that he loved her.

Is it, is it? Or are they just not in love with them.... you don't have affairs if you're truly in love with your partner.
It's also said that you've never truly been in love unless you want to murder someone!

It's okay to take a romantic view on love, but realistically it doesn't work that way.

Maybe he just realises it even more as time has gone on?..but do admit the Stacey thing seemed a bit odd...I guess it is a small possibility he loved her at the airport as it was a link to Bradley but he did start the affair while Bradley was around..and yes no reason why someone can't love two people..But he was willing to run off with Stacey which suggests he loved her more..but he could have been caught up in the moment?

It dosn't matter whether or not Max really loved Stacey if she had agreed to him going with her he would have jumped on the plane without a seconds for Tanya or his kids who he supposedly loves .

I wish Tanya would find that out as it would be the final nail in their ridculous relationship ,the only time I have ever liked either character is when the other party in the relationship was not living on the square .
