EastEnders has released a new look at Max Branning's frightening reunion with Bobby Beale.

The two have been on a collision course ever since Bobby (Clay Milner Russell) quietly returned to Walford after spending a few years incarcerated for accidentally killing his sister Lucy.

Fans will remember that Bobby confessed only after his parents silently allowed Max (Jake Wood) to take the blame for Lucy's death, forcing him to go on the run for a time.

Old resentments will resurface in Friday's (June 21) episode after Max spots Bobby back in Walford, compelling him to chase the boy through the Square.

The furious chase leads Max all the way to the Beale house, where the unhinged Max forces his way in and looks set to finally take his revenge on Lucy's true killer.

Will Max get control of his senses before he does something he'll live to regret? The soap is only beginning to revisit the grudge between the Beales and Max Branning.
