just wondering what people think of this storyline... was hoping Max to get some other story lines apart from sleeping around but I guess it's a good twist in the sense it's got people talking, trending on twitter etc.

I personally quite like it, there's a lot of characters this could effect in the soap and obviously the lead up to Lucy's death! What do you think?

Maybe a good idea in theory but a bad idea in execution. I was genuinely expecting to get a major twist tonight after those tweets about it, as for me it's been entirely obvious from the start that Jake was a red herring and Max was the one she was seeing. So I wasn't surprised or shocked in the slightest to find out it was him tonight.

It should have been a returning Danny, IMO. It would have given us a very believable suspect right at the start of the storyline.

Totally ridiculous, totally predictable, total shit.

I thought EE was supposed to be on the cusp of a revolution since the new producer came in, but this? Lazy, lazy crap.

She really didn't look into it! Pacing the room and looking awkward. I don't think it's just guilt causing that reaction. I think she's prostituting herself to get the business but kidding herself that she's enjoying an affair.

I also think that she gets a little excitement out of it being someone who won't leave her for Lauren!

I found it a bit uncomfortable. Stacey I could totally understand but they had chemistry but him & Lucy? No, no, no.

He's not been in a good light since he arrived really.

Don't like it, personally don't think there was any need for it it just seems like a poor attempt to get more suspects for her death.

Typical EastEnders give characters the same old storylines Max is in that category.

Stacey and Max never had chemistry. That was a terrible storyline but people seem to look back on it fondly due to the reveal.

As for this, it's worse

I respectably disagree on the chemistry front and I actually enjoyed the affair storyline, I do enjoy them in soap if the right characters are paired up.

Ridiculous "twist", which was actually really obvious, as soon as Lucy said Max looked at her "figures" and liked what he saw, so handed over £1000.

Just makes you wonder where they can actually go with Max's character now - surely he's now completely ruined?

I was in total shock. I couldn't believe my eyes. It was pretty disgusting! The voice over man at the end made me laugh though!

His character was already going downhill but if he is really paying her for sex then he is officially ruined. I wonder if Max is leaving and this is his exit sl??

He must have been thinking "Why do they give us continuity announcers such shit endings to work with, I thought this show was climbing out it's cesspit now - 'fraid not"

Let's be honest with Lucy saying " You're right, Lauren doesn't need to know". on the phone last Friday it was either going to be Max or Jake. What were people expecting? If it was anyone else, Lauren wouldn't give a shit.

I have not followed that closely of late and thought Max & Lucy were just having some sort of fling, is he paying her?
If that is the case then I actually think it it's quite a good storyline and rather realistic as he's clearly a sex addict & this just shows the lengths he will go to get it.

Agreed! The "Stax" affair was dire and I remember people on here moaning profusely about it at the time. The reveal was the only decent thing about that storyline.
