EastEnders Spoilers: Shocking Christmas Murder Revealed

It may only be the beginning of November, but we’re already excited for the big Christmas story lines EastEnders. They are always the most dramatic and explosive of the year. And this year spoilers tease that it’s all about Max Branning (Jake Wood).

We’ve seen his revenge plans growing throughout 2017, his goal being to destroy the lives of those around him as payback for his time in prison. But the story line has been a little stale due to repetitiveness. What is the show going to do to ensure that this Christmas we are shocked and thrilled by his baddie behaviour?

EastEnders spoilers tease that his evil is going to be kicked up a notch when the festive time draws near. His target being Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt). A source told The Sun this, “Max becomes obsessed with revenge and that means wanting rid of Ian. But this time for good. It’s a classic old- school storyline that will leave the viewers on the edge of their seats.”

The source also revealed what Max’s end goal was, the murder of Ian. Which is not surprising as he has already gone after his wife Jane (Laurie Brett) and his son Bobby (Eliot Carrington). It was Ian’s fault that Max spent time in prison, blamed for the death of Lucy Beale (Hetti Bywater) which the Beale’s covered up. But Max has not yet come after Ian. He has been saving him for last. And by the sounds of it, he will not survive Max’s vengeful plans.

Admittedly Max’s revenge has become tiresome in recent months, yes, we got the big explosion and the death of Steven Beale (Aaron Sidwell). But other than this Max has been laying low, planning plots. But the news that there will be another huge death at Christmas is exciting.

We already know that there will be a large number of cast members leaving this Winter, many of them tied into the Max plot. Such as Lauren and Abi Branning (Jaqueline Jossa, Lorna Fitzgerald) but will you be sad to see the iconic Ian Beale leave too?
