EastEnders icon Max Branning made his return to the soap tonight (Wednesday, August 3), as it was revealed that he has a surprise connection with Zoe Slater. Max’s sudden comeback came as Zoe’s life hung in the balance, after being shot by Ravi and Max.
Zoe’s grievous injuries came as the bitter rivalry between Jack and Ravi escalated, resulting in a violent confrontation. In yesterday’s episode, Ravi learned that Jack was in possession of Okie’s gun, and attempted to steal it back from the police officer.
However, Jack learned that Ravi had taken the gun, and confronted him outside. As the pair got into a scuffle, the gun was fired, and hit Zoe. As Anthony and local paramedics rushed to save her life, Zoe’s phone began to ring.
Enter the one and only Max Branning…

The figure on the other end of the line didn’t say a word, leaving Kat unaware as to his true identity. It was Max Branning, trying to reach Zoe.
But what’s their connection? And what does Max want from Zoe?
