EastEnders\u2019 Max and Lauren are both up to no good next week<\/a> \u2013 but which of the Brannings will end up in bigger trouble from their antics?<\/p>\n

“Max and Priya are like magnets \u2013 they just can\u2019t resist the sexual pull,” reveals our Walford insider. “This affair will undoubtedly end in tears, but neither one of them seems as though they care right now. The passion is too good!”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Max\u2019s daughter Lauren comes to an agreement with Mark<\/a> about their dodgy car sales through the car lot.<\/p>\n

Hoping to avoid mixing business with pleasure, Mark agrees not to attend Ian\u2019s family barbecue<\/a>. Later on, Lauren panics when Mark asks to meet urgently \u2013 but it\u2019s all a hoax!<\/p>\n

“Mark rings Lauren and begs her to come quickly because a car deal has gone horribly wrong,” explains our source. “When Lauren arrives on the scene though, it transpires that Mark lied to test her! Lauren is furious that he\u2019s caused her such panic, so she leaves Mark alone\u2026”<\/p>\n

With Max and Priya\u2019s affair becoming more at risk of being uncovered<\/a> by the day, and Lauren falling into a very dangerous entanglement in Mark\u2019s murky criminal underworld, could the Branning’s troubles only just be beginning?<\/p>\n

As Priya continues to sneak around with Max, this week she was blindsided when Ravi unexpectedly returned to Walford<\/a> after he walked away from his family a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n

Ravi reunited with his kids and his wider family, but Priya was still furious that he abandoned her after getting discharged from the mental health unit and left her to look after Avani and Nugget alone.<\/p>\n

Though Priya made it clear to Ravi that they were over, he wanted answers about who she slept with after Ross and Vicki\u2019s wedding. Ravi then found out through Suki that Priya was still seeing someone \u2013 so he vowed to find out the identity of this man and kill him.<\/p>\n

Will Priya and Max be caught in the act, and will Ravi discover the truth?<\/p>\n
