Jake joined EastEnders in 2006. His character arrived to confront his father Jim, who he hadn’t seen for many years.

Max was soon reunited with son Bradley, who he hadn’t seen since he was little.

Shortly afterwards, Max moved to Albert Square with his wife Tanya and daughters Lauren and Abi.

Over the years Max has had plenty of heartache.

His relationship with wife Tanya began going downhill after it was revealed he had an affair with Stacey, Bradley’s wife.
