EastEnders star Jake Wood has revealed that there is an "incredibly exciting" storyline coming up between his character Max Branning and brother Derek.
Max had an extended stint with Derek last year after being rejected by Tanya, but viewers have never known the full extent of what they've been up to.
Speaking to Inside Soap, he said: "The story will emerge - and it's incredibly exciting. There's a story concerning Max and Derek which is set to be long-running, and everything will be explained.
"Jamie Foreman and I are in on it, and we've got a firm sense of what Max and Derek got up to."
Praising the way Derek's character has bought drama to the soap, he said: "Jamie is fantastic to work with. He's had a huge impact on the show."
It's been speculated that their co-star Charlie Brooks is leaving the show in order to participate in Strictly Come Dancing.
