The troubled teen has been at the centre of the soap\u2019s far-right extremism storyline, which saw him groomed into fascist ideals by terrorist Griff Reynolds<\/a>.<\/p>\n Current scenes in the soap have seen Max (Paddy Bever) face punishment for his crimes and he will be sentenced to six months in a detention centre for inciting hatred with his videos.<\/p>\n However, the soap\u2019s executive producer Iain MacLeod has confirmed that there will be a light at the end of the tunnel for Max.<\/p>\n MacLeod revealed on Loose Women on Wednesday (15th February 2023): \u201cYes, he\u2019s going to get a happy ending in the end. It felt important that we showed a story where someone that has gone that far down the wrong path, there is the chance to pull them back.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd the story at its heart was supposed to be about a family dealing with how you communicate with a teenager that\u2019s gone this far off-track, and how do you bring them back into the fold and how do you redeem them?\u201d<\/p> The producer also revealed that an unlikely romance will be part of Max getting a positive resolution to his journey and it sees the story transform dramatically over the year ahead.<\/p>\n \u201cSo there\u2019s a happy ending, it involves a love story,\u201d noted MacLeod. \u201cHe meets this incredibly unlikely love interest and it\u2019s really funny\u2026 at the risk of making it sound like a tonal collision, we go from that really serious story we\u2019ve told and it\u2019s evolved into a romcom almost over the course of the next 12 months.\u201d<\/p>\n MacLeod also noted the reasoning behind taking Max on this journey and why they didn\u2019t wish to just leave it with a tragic or negative ending for the teen.<\/p>\n \u201cWe wanted him to have a happy ending,\u201d he added. \u201cIt\u2019s interesting, we\u2019ve had a lot of reaction there, he\u2019s said some awful stuff but I do feel kind of sorry for him. He was groomed, he was led astray and I think that happens with a lot of teenagers out in the UK at the moment, and it would be a shame if we told a story where we just wrote them off.\u201d<\/p>\n Later this week, viewers will see Max sentenced to a secure training centre where he is set to face a difficult time. However, fans now know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel for him.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n If you are concerned that someone you know might be being radicalised, you are not alone.
