They're BACK!

Linda and Max return to Walford... Will he find out about little Annie?

- WITH SOAPS EDITOR ALISON SLADE

Sometimes with soaps, you have to forget about reality and just go with the flow. Take Linda Carter. Back in July, she went on a singles' cruise... with her kids Ollie and Annie. Aside from the fact the little mites don't need to watch mummy being chatted up, what about their education? Unless it was included in the all-you-can-eat buffet.

Anyway, this week the trio are back, and here at TV Times, we're delighted. Although that's not an emotion shared by the former landlady when, mere days after her return, she claps eyes on ex-lover Max Branning.
