And there are ALWAYS rumours going around that Jo Joyner could reprise her role as Tanya at any moment.

So could there really be a Manya reunion on the cards? Er, well, it’s not looking likely tbh. Soz.

Jake Wood – who plays Max – recently told Metro.co.uk that he’s quite happy with Max being a lone wolf right now.

He said: “I think he is operating on his own at the moment. I don’t think he feels he really needs anyone.

“Obviously when I came into the show 11 years ago, I was with Joy Joyner. We had a great partnership. I miss having Jo around but at the moment, I think it’s interesting to see Max on his own.”

Jo has spoken out on the rumours she’s heading back to Walford as well.

Speaking at a press event for her new show Ackley Bridge, she said: “My mum actually sent me the picture of an article saying that yesterday!

“On my family’s WhatsApp group they were asking me was this true, and why hadn’t I told anybody!

“I love soaps and the history that characters have, and these rumours are useful to get people excited about storylines.

“But no, I haven’t been approached by EastEnders – and I’m a bit tied up right now.”

Looks like we’ll be waiting a while for this reunion to happen then.
