Back when Max was in prison I was quite looking forward to his release and revenge but now I can barely struggle any interest. EE is just at such a low right now that even the idea of him burning down Ian's house with Ian in it isn't getting me excited.

The most interesting part of his return story line will be who he shags next. Stacey has to be up there on the odds list.

SOC has shown that he isn't against some real drama though - the last 5 mins of Friday's episode shows that.

Reading between the lines there seems to be an admittance from Jake Wood the writers had grown bored with Max before he went away for a year. I grew bored with him myself, he started off well but then developed into one of the most predictable and repetitive characters the show has ever had. I hope he'll finally start to show some character development when he returns because if he doesn't they need to write him out permanently after this revenge arc finishes.

I've got a feeling he won't even be after revenge which would be frankly ridiculous if someone had framed you for going down

5 mins out of 4 months worth of episodes suggest he is!

It was pretty obvious that he was building up the characters so when he did introduce a dramatic moment people would be invested in the situation and characters.

Job done imo.

Let's face it, Max's "revenge" is going to be stringing Kathy along just to get at Ian!

I hope so.

I'd like to see a broken Max at the beginning who is trying to get his life back together. The scene when he was in the back of the taxi a few months back was quite poignant, I think.

Maybe Max will return with a boyfriend, someone that was his cellmate in prison?

Now that would be a change.

That would be awful. Max previously had an affair with Kathy's granddaughter. We know Kathy likes a younger man but Max is a bit too young. Kathy had given birth to two children by the time Max was born.

Could the Christmas Day ep be post watershed for a reason? Could Max get violent? Or say some shocking things?

I can totally see this, and I'd actually be surprised if it didn't happen.

Hes only been inside twice
Only twice? You make it sound like it's normal to go to prison.

Max and common sense don't go together I'm afraid. Those two things are simply not compatible with each other.

I can definitely see Max trying it on with Kathy. The man has no boundaries. The fact that Lucy was her granddaughter won't even enter his mind!

I mean he tried it on with Jane once too - his ex-wife's best mate and the same woman that sent him to prison.

Basically, my point is - no woman is off limits to Max. He is like Charlie Sheen but with less hair.

I hope they take this opportunity to develop his character. Jake's talent saved Max from becoming a boring character the last time round.

I'd love it if he'd been with Suzie and she was a surprise return. She was a good bitch.

Surely Kathy's way too old for Max. He likes 'em young.
