Speaking about the upcoming year on the soap, Max revealed to Digital Spy: "I think the next 12 months are going to be very strained. There are going to be several moments that test their love for each other, and their ability to care for each other. So watch this space!"

The news of Max and Tony's busy year ahead comes at a time when both actors won Inside Soap's Feel-Good Moment prize for the wedding between Ben and Callum.

Speaking at this year's awards ceremony, Inside Soap's executive editor Gary Gillatt said: "This award is a tribute to the popularity of Ben and Callum and their heartwarming romance. While soaps are fuelled by tears and tragedy, this reminds us that everyone still loves a good love story!"


It's unknown what trials and tribulations await the married couple next year, but with a new executive producer set to arrive in January, we're sure he's got some juicy storylines in the pipeline.
