Max Branning stars in a special flashforward episode of EastEnders tomorrow (Thursday, January 1, 2026), as the soap reveals his future in Walford. This comes after Max made a vow to his family tonight – and is now determined to become the father that his children needs.
This, in turn, follows a dramatic few weeks for Max, after his latest return to Albert Square. As Christmas week fell, Max learned that Linda had been hiding his daughter Annie from him – a secret which Jack and his children had been in on.
And, as Max spiralled out of control, he made a scene at Christmas dinner and baby Jimmy’s christening, upsetting his family. Lauren and Oscar are at the end of their tether with Max… can he make amends?
And what does the soap’s highly publicised flashforward have in store?
