EastEnders - Lauren and Abi Branning will attempt to reach out to their estranged dad Max in the wake of the recent revelations about Bobby Beale.

Max has spent the past 8 months in jail for the murder of Lucy Beale, but Lauren has now returned to Walford in the hope of getting him justice now the truth is out in the open.

Despite her determination to support her dad, Lauren will be stopped in her tracks when she learns that Max has banned her and Abi from visiting him.

Their problems intensify when Abi is unable to face Max on the day of his court hearing,  leaving Lauren to come up with another way to support him.

Deciding to write Max a letter, Lauren reaches out to her dad and explains that she and Abi will be waiting for him if he wants to be a family again.

Lauren later hands the letter to Stacey, who is attending the hearing, but will it prompt Max to reach out to his family? Or have the Brannings been torn apart for good?
