That episode from Jane's ludicrous alibi to Phil paying the foreman of the jury to Max literally jumping out of his box is the most ludicrous EastEnders has ever been and is totally jumping the shark... Come on!!!

I thought it was a bite ridiculous max should of been in handcuffs

Agree. No way would he have got out of the court.

It's not real life.

Eastenders is beyond ridiculous. Can't believe people seriously think this is better than Corrie.

Thats actually a really cool twist. I hope he goes on the run and comes back when his name is cleared in a year. This must mean that the truth will come out in a years time then. 2 years after the event.

I am glad of this instead of him going down OR getting off. He is free, but on the run.

It's so ridiculous its like a laugh out loud comedy.

So will he go on the run? His "exit" plot? Max is listed until Thursday though, so maybe not. Just hate they went with this verdict.

Lauren should've just stood up and said it was Bobby.

Corrie Better then EE what a Joke wait until Kate oates start and then you can say corrie is better

The ending was ridiculous Max jumping out of the stand and legging it like that as if! most ridiculous soap scene in a long time and certainly not what I would expect from EE

Shouldnt max have been in a box of sort behind a screen of glass or that plastic-like stuff that i cant think of what the name is

Because someone being buried in a manhole is the height of realism

It was hilariously ridiculous

A cool twist?

Come on... if it was that easy to get away don't ya think younger and fitter men would be doing it every day? The cast must be furious playing this nonsense.

Following on from the stupid Charlie/Ronnie stuff last week, and the ressurection of Kathy EastEnders is in dire danger of running out of puff

In fairness it has been played out in a more reasonable and believable way than the whole Max trial!

EE has been way better than Corrie this year but EE is jumping the shark left right and centre and that's not good... in fact it's bad news...

Really? I enjoyed it myself but the whole callum stuff is not realistic at all imo. That's not to say its not entertaining but let's be honest.

Also a manhole is usually left outside of a house not inside of a house

I love how you're trying to turn this thread into something it isn't

Not just any manhole...Gail's manhole.

Very silly ending. I thought having Max wrongly imprisoned was bad enough but this is even worse. So, he goes on the run for a year?

Use GOOGLE and you will see it happens in real life too and right here in the UK in fact,

Maybe you jumped the shark tonight.

The Max thing was completely ridiculous but come on Corrie really is no better. The whole fake Gavin storyline still holds the title for the most ludicrous and nonsensical storyline in soap history IMO.

All that was missing was the Benny Hill music.
