Mel Owen is luring Max Branning into her scheme against his brother Jack in EastEnders and fans are horrified.
Scheming Mel is planning on destroying Jack for his role in ensuring her son Hunter went to prison for Ray Kelly’s murder.
But her plan to take Jack for all he is worth and destroy him has hit a snag, with him being unable to fully trust her.
This week viewers watched her manipulate his daughter Amy’s personal issues to get back in with him, which was bad enough.
And now Mel has her sights on another member of his family in order to further her evil mission – his brother Max.

In last night’s episode Jack found himself without a babysitter for his date with Denise Fox, and when Amy helpfully called Mel to ask her to come over, Mel seized her chance.
Taking the opportunity being the sole adult in the house to have a rummage through Jack’s financials, she was almost caught when Max returned home early.
And when he genuinely asked her about how Hunter was, Mel was further surprised with him telling her: “You got to tell him to keep fighting. Never give up. Not even for a second.”
But as it became clear Max and Mel had chemistry, fans were left convinced they were going to team up to destroy Jack.
One said: “Mel and Max team up 😡😡😡#Eastenders.”
A second said: “Mel and Max? PLEASE NO!!! #eastenders.”

Another added: “#EastEnders I hope Max and Mel don’t end up doing funny business.”
However, one problem did arise with their potential plan when Max’s wife Rainie Cross walked in to find the gruesome twosome looking very cosy indeed.
As Max insisted they were having a catch-up, Rainie sensed something bigger was afoot and sneered: “Yeah. Course you were!”
