Max Branning (Jake Wood), will fall for newcomer Karin Smart (Denise Van-Outen), as soon as she arrives. You just couldn't keep away, could you, Max.
We've recently seen Max Branning with long-term lover, Emma Summerhayes (Anna Acton), who died on New Year's Day. Lucy Beale (Hetti Bywater), who died on Good Friday, 2014. And now Karin Smith, possibly, October 31, 2015? Seriously, Karin, atleast get to know the man before you're certain to bed him!
Karin turn's up looking for Phil (Steve McFadden), but she's whisked away by sexy womaniser, Max. They're quick to get talking (flirtatiously), and then they head back to Max's home, but not for what thinks they're about to do... It turn's out Karin's got history with Phil and the Mitchell's, and decides to be the loyal person she is (not), she doesn't sleep with Max, but there's something fishy going on...
