With the conclusion to the New Year\u2019s Day flashforward episode<\/a> just two months away now, there are no end of suspects who could want revenge on Max.<\/p>\n

Plus, Jack isn\u2019t happy to discover that his big brother took \u00a350,000 from Amy\u2019s trust fund, and Kat reiterates to Alfie that she wants the man who abandoned Zoe dead<\/a>. But who will be the mystery gunman taking Lauren and Oscar hostage on 1 January?<\/p>\n

Linda remains loved up with Max, but in the trailer she is stunned by a death certificate that is intriguingly dated 29 October 2026. Is this linked to Janine, or Mick?<\/p>\n
