We all thought Derek was hiring hitman for brother Max on Christmas Eve, But no when Christmas Day came the special suprise on the day of his wedding to ex-Wife Tanya Cross was in fact his secret wife at her door, Kirsty Branning, a woman max met when he was at her lowest moment when Tanya told him to go, because she could not face telling him she had cancer, and she also married another man that day yeah mad eh? Well Kirsty is certainly now the talk to the square as she determined to get Max Back! The Actress Who Plays the new Blondie Branning has revealed she has been around The actress has been filming with EastEnders since October, but show bosses kept her casting well under wraps so that fans would be surprised by the storyline twist. Wareing explained: “I first knew about the role when I was filming in Morocco. I was checking my emails and I had one from my agent saying, ‘EastEnders want to see you when you get back’. ”I went for a meeting with [executive producer] Lorraine Newman and [series consultant] Simon Ashdown, and they offered me the role there and then. I was ecstatic, I was like, ‘Yes, yes, yes!’ So I knew about it from April, then everything went very, very quiet for months and to be honest I thought, ‘Are you sure they still want me?!’ ”Then they came back in August, just before I started filming and then it all went very quickly. I always knew I’d be arriving on Christmas Day since I got the first call, and I started filming at the end of October.” She continued: “It was really weird doing my first scene – even though I have done things before, this was a show that I have grown up with as a child. Suddenly I’m on the Square and it’s very surreal and I am seeing legendary characters like Sharon, who I have grown up watching – it’s bizarre. And now I know her as Tish, and we’re friends.
