EastEnders\u2019 Max Branning<\/a> and Cindy Beale hold their engagement party next week, but their union could turn out to be one of the shortest in soap history \u2013 if spiralling Priya Nandra-Hart reveals all about her and Max\u2019s recent night of passion!<\/a><\/p>\n

“Priya\u2019s a loose cannon and Max knows it,” says our Walford insider. “He\u2019s on tenterhooks when she arrives at the party dressed to the nines, flirting up a storm and putting Cindy\u2019s nose well out of joint.<\/p>\n

“Priya knows her secret will blow Max\u2019s life to smithereens \u2013 so will she choose their engagement bash to drop her bombshell for maximum effect?”<\/p>\n

The nail-biting scenes unfold as Priya is trying and failing to navigate life without Ravi, who has ended their relationship and quit Walford<\/a> following his recent mental health troubles. She\u2019s putting on a brave face for the kids, who think their dad is still in the hospital receiving treatment.<\/p>\n

However, Priya stumbles when Avani asks if she can see Ravi, leaving her daughter suspicious and Priya struggling more than ever to come to terms with Ravi\u2019s departure.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Cindy is determined to wow the Square with a party to celebrate her and Max\u2019s engagement<\/a>. She\u2019s upset when both Gina and Peter \u2013 who are conflicted over their mum\u2019s new love \u2013 appear reluctant to help. <\/p>\n

Crestfallen, Cindy presumes Max also might be less than enthusiastic about the idea of a party, but she\u2019s delighted when he insists they should put on a big celebration.<\/p>\n

Max might regret his enthusiasm, however, when Cindy takes that as permission to nick Priya from her job at the car lot and put her to work with her on the party preparations instead!<\/p>\n

With Priya already on the edge, being near Cindy isn\u2019t perhaps the best idea, and soon the two women are clashing. Max is quick to spot the altercation and he leaps to intervene \u2013 as Priya issues him with a warning.<\/p>\n

“Priya\u2019s words are ringing in Max\u2019s ears as the engagement party begins, and it\u2019s clear that she loves toying with him, while providing the perfect distraction from our own troubles,” says our insider.<\/p>\n

“She certainly makes her presence felt at the party, but is she there to cause trouble \u2013 or show Max what he\u2019s missing?”<\/p>\n

As the night plays out, there\u2019s drama afoot as, one way or the other, Max will once again live to regret getting himself in too deep with a dangerous, desirable woman\u2026<\/p>\n

EastEnders airs on Mondays – Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes drop early at 6am ahead of their TV broadcast.<\/p>\n
